VibeSDR v7.0.0 — FM-DX Webserver support
A whole new kind of receiver: VibeSDR now connects to the worldwide network of FM-DX Webserver tuners (from servers.fmdx.org) — real, remote FM broadcast tuners shared live with other listeners — alongside the existing UberSDR, OpenWebRX/OpenWebRX+, KiwiSDR and local RTL-SDR / RTL-TCP backends.

What's new
- FM-DX Webserver backend — pick a tuner from the new FM-DX directory (or save it as a favourite).
- Vintage tuning dial — a green-on-black analogue-style band scale with a red needle that learns and pins every station name as you tune. Pinch or use the zoom drum to zoom; tap to tune.
- Full RDS + station info — PS, scrolling RadioText, PI code, PTY, TP/TA, stereo, a dBf signal meter, transmitter site/power/distance/bearing, and tap-to-tune alternative frequencies.
- Station logos & country flags — for the tuned station, and now also on local RTL-SDR and networked WFM via the RDS PI code, cached on-device so they show even offline.
- Shared-tuner etiquette — built-in chat, a listener counter, a heads-up on connect, and the lock-screen skip buttons disabled so you can't retune it for everyone.
- Demodulator options — mono/stereo, cEQ, iMS, and an antenna switch when the server offers one.
- Recording — record FM-DX audio and play it back from the in-app library.
- Power-saving pause — pausing (or pulling your headphones) disconnects the shared tuner to save battery, and reconnects on play.
Works on both iOS and Android (same shared codebase; FM-DX audio is decoded natively on each).

FM-DX support builds on the FM-DX Webserver project (NoobishSVK & contributors, GPL-3.0) and the servers.fmdx.org map; station logos come from radio-browser.info; the RDS PI/ECC → country mapping references librdsparser (Konrad Kosmatka). See the in-app About page for the full list.
