Description Vincent Untz 2007-03-16 15:54:41 UTC
Right now, the internet radio plugin uses an initial list of radios to populate the list of radios.

A few weeks ago, I read that Banshee has moved to something online: http://abock.org/2006/12/31/ring-in-the-new-year-with-really-rich-n-rockin-radio/

That's a bit better, because it makes it easier to maintain the list of radios that was not provided by the user.

I believe we could go further: have rb download a list of radio that the user knows. For example, I'd love to automatically see rb propose me all the French radios. We can use the locale to make it just work: it's a matter of downloading http://www.rhythmbox.org/radios-fr_FR.xml, for example.

I quickly looked at the code, and I'm not it's easily possible to have under one source (the radio source) radios provided by the user and radios that are automatically updated from the internet (I imagine those ones wouldn't be living in the rhythmdb.xml file). So I was considering writing a small plugin to do this, but it's clearly not optimal to have two radio sources... Any comment on the best to do this?

This has already discussed extensively on bug #127794, and there is also a (probably stale) patch there to implement something like this with icecast stations, so marking this bug as a dupe.
