However, I encountered difficulties with Favorites that refer to remote radio or podcast urls. It seems that sometimes a remote radio or podcast url is a direct link to a music stream, but sometimes the remote url is an INDIRECT link to a playlist file (.pls or .m3u format) which is a text file that contains a text list of one or more urls pointing to real music streams. Now unfortunately, many existing UPnP / DLNA players do not really support such playlist text files. So the conclusion is: Yes, I could include Favorites in a next version of Whitebear, but unfortunately No, it would not support the indirect playlist variety (.pls or .m3u) of remote radio or podcast streams; only the direct url (.mp3, .ogg, .wav, .flc) variety is supportable. I don't know if this is sufficent? => What do you think? -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG Try out Whitebear. The middleware that joins the two worlds of: 1.
