Folks, MPD does parse .pls files. If you look at the way moOde saves radio stations, it is indeed in .pls files. However, the FILE1= parameter in each .pls file has to be a playable URL for the .pls file to be parsed and played by MPD.
The problem here is that these Korean stations' .pls files don't specify a playable URL. As can be seen in the posts above, they specify a .m3u file once all the extra niff-naff about expiry, policy, key-pair, etc., is dealt with.
I just dug deeper on the first KBS entry provided by the OP and I ended up with an extended M3U file containing
I recognize this markup. It represents an HTTP Live Stream (HLS). The protocol and format was developed by Apple and submitted to the IETF as a draft specification 15 odd years ago. You can google the topic.
I can't find any mention of HLS in the MPD docs but it does have a plugin "extm3u" which the docs say "reads extended ,m3u playlist files". I know nothing about this plugin but it's included in moOde's MPD build. You may want to experiment with it directly.
Just so you know, I have no experience creating or using HLS-specified streams.
