- Automatic content type detection from file/stream
- Play files from disk
- Playlists (PLS/M3U/M3U8)
- MPD protocol support
- ...

EDIT: updated TODO list, updated attachment

1. Listeting for a Radio 20 min in Qemu => OK.

2. I think it would be nice to use: player <radio_url>
If <radio_url> is not set then use default one.

3. Probably a simple GUI like /sys/network/downloader could be the case for this player.

4. I will add a Radio support into a Pixie.
Logic is the next: have a new type of file:
icecast.vrtcdn.be.netradio
last.fm.netradio
Each file contains just an URL.
Pixie with show a list of files in folder so user could switch between them.

Since I prefer not to spend too much time to create the UI, I think it's a good idea to separate the player back end from the user interface.
My proposal however would be to use an already established protocol, which has many advantages.
(Player can be controlled from other PC, app on phone, ... Or KolibriOS if someone writes/ports MPD client)

(protocol is quite simple, see reference: https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/protocol.html)

Now with OGG vorbis!

No need for a new type of file, you can give such file M3U extension!

It is the way many webradios work, they link to a .m3u file containing the actual URL of the radio.

Added support for (OGG)FLAC and (MP4)AAC radio!

Unfortunately, AAC has some licensing blabla which currently prevents me from releasing the binaries for it..
