Hi Tim.
Have you thought to ask Bill over at Radio Paradise?
He seems to be really approachable, as can be seen from his reply on the JRiver forum
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.p...c=114494.0
and I know he replies to any enquiries from the LMS maintainer.
Just a thought

Yeah, but...
back in February Bill posted to that thread "We will be publishing details on our API sometime soon, ..."
Hasn't happened yet AFAIK.
Bill gave assistance to marco79cgn in the development of his Javascript radio-paradise FLAC player (https://github.com/marco79cgn/radio-paradise). This code was used in turn to create a Volumio plugin.
There is an essential aspect of this work which marco79cgn states "might be unreliable over time and is not production ready." In addition, there is the explicit disclaimer "This is a private proof of concept project and no official product of Radio Paradise."
Some weeks ago I traced through marco79cgn's logic and confirmed experimentally the behavior of the current RP API. I imagine it could be added to moOde analogously to the way it was added to Volumio (imagine a "Radio Paradise FLAC" entry in the MUSIC Browse panel; it can't be just another entry in the RADIO panel) but it would require considerable work on Tim's part to create the UI even if someone else does the gluing.
I haven't had time yet to explore how it was added to the lastest upmpdcli.
Just my 2 cents worth.
Regards,
Kent
