What happened to "flas"? Alternative?

[jojumaxx]

I realized, that my installed version of flas doesn't work anymore (I can still play my saved radio stations, though). It doesn't show any graphics any more and you can't browse for radio streams.
When I installed it back then, there where two versions of flas in the Open Store, a newer and an older one (I had installed the newer one). Now I can only find the older one (latest update 2017). But it has the same problems.
What happened to the app?
Is there an alternative that plays radio streams while the screen is off? Doesn't work with web apps...

Thanks!

Flas has not worked since OTA-14 and has been withdrawn from the Shop.

I see...
Is there an alternative?

@jojumaxx Flas was using an old api from the service it collects information.
I need some time to update it, that's why I removed it from the store. When I'm able to finish the work, hopefully soon, I'll publish it back

I don't consider Shoutcast as an alternative but as a great complement.

@CiberSheep That would be great! Thanks for that info.

@domubpkm Thanks for that hint. Since I can't find the local radio stations I'm used to listen to, I also don't consider it an alternative. But it will be sufficient for some time.

@jojumaxx You can always use Webber to built a webapp for example with https://streema.com/radios

[jojumaxx]

@domubpkm yes, but since it's running in a browser it will stop playing as soon as I turn off the screen, won't it?

@jojumaxx UT Tweak Tools: AVOID APPLICATION INTERRUPTION: button green position.

OTA-14 tested BQ E5 HD and OPO, works well for me

@domubpkm Cool! Thanks! Again learned about a new feature...
