Hi,

OK a little talk on IRC can sometimes shed more light on a problem than several forum posts can do. :wink: It turns out this patch indeed alters the way radio streams are played when they're configured in the radio database:

- If a user has put a logo for the radio stream in \thumbs\radio it isn't shown anymore
- The "filename" is shown instead of the radio station name

AFAIK the only way to work around this is to make g_Player aware of when it's playing an audiostream or a videostream. Since you can't determine this by file or URL type, the only way to do this is to specify this as soon as a stream is played back; i.e.:

- when My Trailers starts playing a stream, indicate it's a video stream
- when My Radio starts playing a stream, indicate it's an audio stream

Since maybe people (mis|ab)use My Radio to stream video, the second statement is debatable.

I already am playing with the player code to actually "support" radio/video streams and make it aware of what it is playing, but I really could use some input/guidance here...

Kind regards,
Michel
