Whats your usage scenario where player authentication and https are required?
AFAIK no players have implemented https for local network but in our upcoming 8.3.8 release we are including an experimental feature that does just that :-)
All the renderers including Spotify Connect are handled by the same mechanism when they become active that involves displaying an overlay to prevent access to the WebUI. Years ago we had a module that displayed cover art and track info for AirPlay but it was unreliable and was scrapped. Maybe a dev will become interested in trying to implement something. If that happens I can help out.
The Radio feature is a manually curated list of mostly commercial free, listener supported stations. There is no capability for accessing an Internet station database like radio-browser. As long as radio-browser doesn't inject ads (like Tunein) it would be another good project for an interested dev.
