New radio station search 📻

You can now browse top stations, search by country code or genre, and save these stations by using the new station browser feature. You can find this by going MENU > "Internet Radio" and clicking the "Browse" button.

In addition, the internet radio feature has the following improvements:

• The stream codec type and bitrate is now displayed.
• Improved support for displaying stream track metadata.
• Recording is now enabled by a setting, rather than needing to press a button every time.

Troubleshooting:

Q: I started a stream but the music stopped after a few seconds.
A: Press "stop" then try start again. If it keeps happening this likely means the connection is too slow or unstable.

Q: I started playing a stream with recording enabled, but no file appeared in the output folder.
A: The file will be placed there once the track changes (If metadata exists to detect this) or you end the stream. Recordings of less than ~20 seconds are automatically discarded.

GStreamer backend update 🍇

This update contains many improvements to the GStreamer backend and finally removes the BASS backend completely. This unifies the feature-set into a single out-of-box experience.

Changes:

• Improved GSstreamer backend:
  • Added level-meter visualisation.
  • Added audio equalizer.
  • Added pause/resume fade setting.
  • Many small tweaks and fixes.
• Outbound broadcast no longer requires BASS. This feature now uses OPUS and is available from /stream.ogg from the broadcast page port. The old 8000 port is no longer used.
• Radio recording no longer requires BASS.
• Removed BASS backend. Unfortunately I was not able to achieve porting the spectrum visualiser.

For previous BASS backend users: You can remove the left-over basslibs by opening the user data folder and deleting the lib folder.
