[PROBLEM] Radio information does not display appropriately

[Tim Curtis]

Coding just to ignore the breakage caused by allowing pls as a playable URL is a no-go for me.

Those particular stations could work by fishing out their playable URL's but you stated that the broadcaster rotates/expires them for some purpose. This is actually pretty rare in my experience that a broadcaster included in the moOde stations does this.

Most broadcasters strive to maintain persistent playable URL's. They might sometimes be obscured or on occasion change but we have managed that over the last ten years without too much effort.

All right. That's sad for me but if you say so...
Anyways, I've just discovered alternative stream URL for those diablolical radio stations, so it's okay.

You might want to post the new links in case others want to try them.

Yeah, definitely. Here are some alternative links for South Korean music radios, except non-working ones.

• https://radio.bsod.kr/stream/?stn=kbs&ch=1fm
  
• https://radio.bsod.kr/stream/?stn=kbs&ch=2fm
  
• https://radio.bsod.kr/stream/?stn=kbs&ch=1radio
  
• https://radio.bsod.kr/stream/?stn=kbs&ch=2radio
  
• https://radio.bsod.kr/stream/?stn=kbs&ch=3radio
  

Those stations are managed by KBS(Korean Broadcasting System), note all of them are broadcast in Korean.

Umm... You might wonder why those URLs do not seem to be official streams, but rather look like relay streams. It's a little bit complicated, but mainly due to the lack of official fixed radio stream URLs. Major-3 broadcasters in my country: KBS, MBC, and SBS, want to make people use only their official mobile-streaming applications, therefore they can get some ad profits. Therefore, as some of you looked at it already, they provide temporary-accessible streaming URLs via API.

The links I listed above are provided from a fresh service of a brave audiophilic developer, started from last year. You might want to check out his post (Korean) regarding to how things work in South Korean internet radio providers.

Anyways, thanks for the support!

The app part sounds kind if similar to BBC practices in the UK. We have gone through several BBC URL changes over the years and each time the new URL's are provided by an audiophile user somewhere :-)
