[QUOTE="chefkoch, post: 1034818, member: 10438"] I finally updated my MP2 installation and installed the webradio plugin as well and it's working great (y) Thanks :) While using and testing, I also write down notes about issues and improvement suggestions. Most time theses things end up on my personal wiki page, but I'll additionally post them here as well when it's time. ;) First thing I noticed is the update dialog. There is a similar one within OnlineVideos already. [USER=48495]morpheus_xx[/USER] Could we somehow standardize this by creating a generic progress dialog or progress notification service? There will be many areas this can be used. I created a wiki page about it some time ago: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/index.php?title=2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/8_Contribute/z_MissingFeatures/APIs_for_Plugin_Devs/NotificationService_//_Popups[/url] [USER=73415]offbyone[/USER] What properties should such a dialog provide? Which do you use currently within yours in OV? title, currentitem/description, progress as percentage from 0...100 .... [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/9']issue #9[/URL]: Would it be possible to run the update without pressing the button? Maybe it might also need to auto-update the streams every x hours? Similar to the change within OnlineVideos recently. At next I tried to add new radio stations. Is there a documentation available anywhere about the xml format? Is it a format from any webservice or other application or based on the plugin's code? Reason I am asking for is that I am not sure how to specify some of the values: i.e. What is tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4 is used for? How should these look like? single values only or multiple comma separated ones, if so why 1 - 4? Are the values for Love, Block, PlayCount lost after updating the stream list? If so might this need separated storage of StreamsDefinition (updateable), playback statistics [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/8']issue #8[/URL] (playcount, playtime, ....) and organization structure (favourites, groups, .....) It might also be useful to decouple the stats from the streaming list because of resetting a list (by removing the file) to the default one without loosing the stats. [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/7']issue #7[/URL]: Keeping Localization and Globalization in mind the country might be localizable. So by specifying the country code in Country only instead of the full country name, it might be possible to display Germany as Deutschland on German systems but Germany on English ones. [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/system.globalization.regioninfo.aspx[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2[/url] Later this might also allow to display regional or recommended streams based on the user's region automatically.

This allows accessing streams via a static url, while the stream provider can change the location of the actual stream file (*.mp3) and only updates the content of the m3u/pls. When being disconnected from the web (daily provider disconnect) MP2 GUI is getting veeeeerrryy sloooooow while browsing in webradios. Not sure if this is really related to the disconnect. I'll keep an eye on this. [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/3']issue #3[/URL]: When the logo can't be found or downloaded it would be great to either hide the logo frame or fill it by a fallback image: [ATTACH]137793[/ATTACH] [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/4']issue #4[/URL]: The menu item to go to settings from within the plugin is nice, but there is no Webradio entry in home>settings>plugins yet. In general (not related to the plugin specifically): I also noticed that there are more and more usages of logos. In the beginning these were radio and tv logos, now there are radio&tv from tv card (SlimTV), video streams (OnlineVideos), radio streams (Webradio) .... and maybe others as well, i.e. other MP1 plugins,.... For MP1 there is a LogoManager and various repositories storing localized logos. Anyway it would be great if someday all the logo management could be done by a central component (plugin) to achieve a common design and reusing existing logos across all these plugins (media resources) without the explicit installation of any logo packages by the user. A few additional streams: [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/11']issues #11[/URL] [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/12']#12[/URL] & [URL='https://github.com/BigGranu/Webradio_MP2/issues/13']13[/URL] [/QUOTE]
