        No problem with that.
        My intent was actually to give you hints on how the community works.

        There is a core team that currently works on moving up from 16.04 to 20.04.
        They work on key elements but it's a small crew and they need help from the wider community.

        Sorry if it got lost in translation, but I wanted to say that community members work on this kind of issue ; they see something bothering them, work on it and propose a solution.
        Sometime people don't find an issue annoying enough so they focus on something else.

        The community is here to help you either find a solution to a problem or to guide you through the process of acting on fixing one that is important for you.

        Regarding your issue, the workaround is simple and not that cumbersome... A real fix is welcome but way more difficult to achieve.
        As you know there are many options on formats and streams... so implementing them and make it work with the Media Hub is not an easy task but anyone is welcome to try

          No worries, I'm aware of that. I really just wanted to know what possibilities already exist.
          I'm a developer, and I started to work on UT apps, so maybe in the future I'll come up with something. Depends on time and energy though, already got a lot of ideas popping up in my head.
          But for now I'll port my SFOS scooter app to UT, and then lets see.

            Great I guess that will be a good start to learn the specifics about UT.
            There is a Telegram channel for developer in case you need some help or pointers.
            The documentation is great :
            https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/index.html

            And you can always post to the forum in the "App Development" category.

            Welcome and I hope you'll thrive among us.

              I'm not used to listening to music using stream URLs.
              How, for example, can I find the stream URL of this station (internet link)?
              https://www.groovewave.com/lovesoul/lovesoul1.htm

              Is there a good search engine on the internet for radio stream links?
              Thanks

                  This site has a good list of radio stations:

                    So this is what I could come up with:

                    https://open-store.io/app/radio.s710

                    Unfortunately, on Ubuntu Touch, the mediaplay does not report any meta data. Therefore its not possible to display the current song title.
                    It would work on desktop, but not on UT.

                    When running on the phone, there would be warnings like this:

                    [WW 2021-07-30 14:04:23.912965] [codec.h:148@decode_argument] Unknown metadata key "xesam:genre" while decoding dbus message
                    [WW 2021-07-30 14:04:23.913063] [codec.h:148@decode_argument] Unknown metadata key "xesam:title" while decoding dbus message
                    

                    Which leads me to believe its a restriction on UT currently. What a pity.

                      But THANK YOU for your app !

                      EDIT : V 1 quickly said, not open bug report, only one station can be kept (only tested manually added) as favorite. The second one does not register or erases the first one (Volla, BQ E5 HD).

                          @s710 I said before 😉 : manually url added (but i tested only that, no tested search).

                              @domubpkm well when adding manually, the unique ID of the station will be a hash of the URL. In case you try to add the same URL twice, it would not work. Maybe thats the problem?

                                @s710 I don't know the problem. The best thing is that you try with different stations as it is more easy to see than to explain.. Two stations can't be manually added as favourites indeed but i noticed if i close and open the app, the last radio station manually added entered as a potential favourite take the place of the first favourite manually added... I stop to explain...🙂🙂

                                  @s710 Thanks for the application. I was able to store three stations from search. (I did not try more than that.) Oddly, delete was swipe to the left rather than right.

                                    @cliffcoggin what do you mean with swipe left rather than right?

                                        @cliffcoggin Okay I see, as per https://phone.docs.ubuntu.com/en/apps/design/building-blocks/list-items#actions the delete action should be when swiping from left to right.
                                        Coming from iOS (where its the other way round), I just didn't know this 🙂

                                        I have published v1.1 which switches positions, delete is now swipe to right.

                                        Also the manual stream favourite saving had a typo, thanks to @domubpkm for reporting, its also fixed.

                                        And thanks to @Vistaus who translates almost faster than I can publish 😄

                                            @s710 Manuall stream favourite saving works fine now. Thanks.
                                            Small suggestion: make the icons of the manually added stations, editable, so that we can choose them later.

                                              Radio seems to be broken for searching and adding new stations and this, i don't know since when.
