A screen titlebar plug-in class to listen to internet radio stations streaming
using ShoutCast protocol in MPEG audio format (usually MP3, MPEG-1 Layer III)
*Note* that it cannot decode other stream formats like Ogg Vorbis, WMA or AAC+
It's based on CgmRadio v2.0 from Grzegorz Kraszewski. Thanks Krashan!
If you click on the WebRadio icon in the screenbar, you can choose to start
audio streaming/playing by selecting a station from the pop-up menu.
You can also record the current station you are listening to by selecting the
"Record" option from the pop-up menu.
** Legality Notice **
It is advised that you ONLY RECORD streams if this is allowed!
It's also possible to stop playing or play another radio station while still
recording that initial stream!
The path where the recorded stream is saved to, can be changed in the screen
titlebar settings (right-click on the top-right screen depth-gadget, select
Preferences or Settings). The default path is RAM:.
There is a default radio station list to get you started, which you can edit
by choosing the option "Edit Stations" from the pop-up menu item.
Selecting the "Stream info" menu item opens a window with information about
the current radio stream.
By opening the Title's popup-list and pressing the right mouse button a
context menu opens where you can search for the selected title on the web
(https://www.invidio.us) with your standard browser or clear the list.
Or just click the Title gadget itself to search for the current title.
There is now also an ARexxPort available to control WebRadio from scripts.

HISTORY:
========
29-Okt-2020, v2.3
fix: fixed a crash when quitting Wayfarer on an own screen
31-Aug-2020, v2.2
chg: changed the "Connecting..." bubble to show the station name
30-Aug-2020
fix: if a connection takes longer (several seconds), the sbar could freeze
fix: don't close the connection bubble if user opens the popup-menu
fix: update the state of the sbar icon before connecting
fix: if the Stream-Info window was open while connecting to a new station
which takes longer to connect a freeze could happen
chg: the "Failed to setup" req now contains additional information about why
it failed (http error code and response code)
fix: the arexx PLAY command now shows correct state while in connection phase
24-Aug-2020,
fix: If a stream name started with "http/https", recording of it failed
fix: The Edit-Stations window could throw some "Notify_SET: invalid obj" hits
new: if the sample-rate or channels isn't specified in the MetaHeader get
them directly from the output stream
07-Aug-2020, v2.1
new: added arexx cmd "PLAY LAST=LASTUSED/S" to play the last station again
before you stopped playing.
The last played station is stored in the envvar "WebRadio_LastStation",
so it survives a reboot and you can hear it again the next time
chg: you don't need to use quotes anymore for the PLAY command if the
Stationname contains spaces (STATION is now defined as STATION/F)
fix: the title returned by "GET TITLE" also contained alt-spaces
fix: the station names contained alt-spaces chars to prevent splitting the
name in the bubble, so you couldn't easily use a stationname with
spaces in "PLAY <Station>", if you don't knew it.
The alt-spaces in the stationnames will be converted during loading!
[06-Aug-20: reported by jPV]
fix: if an arexx command returns 5 (WARN), no result string was shown,
now I prepend the string with "Warning: " and return OK
chg: the STATION arg in the PLAY command can also be a number (cnt from 0!)
fix: invoking a PLAY NEXT/PREV while connection phase will be ignored (could
lead to a freeze!)
06-Aug-2020
fix: sometimes the ARexx commands weren't received, the program which sends
them seemed to hang, I'm using a own process for this now
[04-Aug-20: reported by jPV]
02-Aug-2020, v2.0
new: added an ARexxPort (see above for the commands)
chg: the StreamInfo window is now automatically created on startup, so the
titles played before opening the StreamInfo window the first time are
also included
08-Mai-2020
chg: compiled with gcc v9.3.0
fix: if the icy values icy-br or icy-sr were at index 0, they were shown as
"Unknown"
fix: the "Station:" and the "Title:" text will be clipped if its wider than
the window
new: show the bitrate, samplerate and number of channels in the "Station:"
text field
02-Apr-2020
fix: changed RadioParadiso stream url, the old didn't worked anymore
23-Feb-2020, not released yet

gets closed
fix: if you first open the EditStations window on one screen then open it on
another screen, the requesters were opened on the other screen
02-Okt-2019, v1.10
new: now you can also click the Title gadget in the StreamInfo window to open
the browser and search for the current title in www.invidio.us

the window gets too small, this is usefull if you only want to see the
Listening (and Recording) group
fix: reloading the screenbar in the InstallScript now works with MorphOS 3.12
01-Okt-2019, v1.9
new: added a context menu to the titles list in the StreamInfo window,to open
the browser and search for the selected title in www.invidio.us
chg: removed the ClearList ("x") button in the StreamInfo window, and added
a "Clear list" entry to the new context menu

all played titles
31-Jul-2019, v1.6
fix: (hopefully) fixed the mouse-freeze bug if you switch the channel, while
the "Listening to..." bubble is open, by closing the bubble before
opening the popup-menu
chg: while connecting to a station all menuitems will be disabled
chg: the 20 pixels sbar icon now has one empty line at the bottom, this looks
better if the screenbar is exactly 20 pixels height
24-Jul-2019, v1.5
chg: getting the recorded filesize is now done with Dos.Examine64(), because
MMA_OutputBytes can take several seconds!
This fixes the delay while recording and displaying the shorthelp or

21-Jul-2019, v1.4
fix: the prefs page had a fixed width

bubbles only the "Listening to .." bubble can coexist
06-Mai-2019
fix: stopping of the recording stream wasn't recognized, if the you are not
listening to any station
fix: convert any ":" or "/" in station's name to "_"
01-Mai-2019
fix: the recording bubbles were only shown on the first screen not the current
and so the color of sbar icon wasn't refreshed correctly on other screens
Note: it could still occur that the color stays green (until next redraw
of the sbar icon), if you switch the screen after you stopped recording
but before recording really stopped!
Just force a redraw by f.e. clicking on it, switching screen or so.
new: if a word in metainfo-title has two successive uppercase chars, convert
the rest of the word to lower case (Berliner Rundfunk uses all upper
case chars!)
26-Apr-2019
chg: changed the way to recognize if the record-stream stopped (faster)
chg: now check every 3 seconds for a new metainfo
21-Apr-2019
fix: this sbar should be now more robust, when closing screens while playing
or recording
16-Apr-2019
fix: if you change the station, but the new station fails to play, the color
of the icon wasn't correct
chg: checking metainfo and testing if the playing/recording stream stopped
is now done in a slave object, so it doesn't blocks the screenbar
because checking if the recorded stream stopped takes several seconds
chg: starting/stoping the recording stream is now done in a slave object, so
it doesn't blocks the screenbar
15-Apr-2019
fix: the detection if the recording stream stopped didn't worked
chg: the format of the date in the recorded filename is now "dd-mm-yy",
because f.e. in the UK, the date format is "dd/mm/yyyy", and "/" isn't
allowed in filenames
[15-Apr-19: reported by Neil Pearson]
14-Apr-2019, bumped to v1.0
chg: the format of the date in the recorded filename is now the default for
your locale, not (yy-mmm-dd)

chg: changed the way to retrieve the MetaInfo

"Apply", the menu item of that station wasn't then disabled
10-Apr-2019
new: added two prefs items to enable changing the colour of the icon while
playing and recording

(proposed in the autodocs for realtime buffering)

(proposed in the autodocs for realtime buffering)
fix: global current metatitle is reset when changing to a new radio station
new: the Name sting gadget is activated after pressing the "New" button
fix: forgot to dispose of the Play objects after stopping, which is not so
problematic, as they were disposed at the end or when playing restarted
fix: if you remove the sbar while metaTitle bubble is open, it wasn't closed
07-Apr-2019
- new: A check every 5 seconds is done to find if a new MMETA_Title is in the
stream, if yes it is shown in a "bubble"
- fix: the MetaTitle bubble will be shown on the current screen

for "icy-audio-info", I use this template now "ice-channels=channels/A/K/N,
ice-samplerate=samplerate/A/K/N,ice-bitrate=bitrate/A/K/N"
- if there is no "ic(e|y)-audio-info" attr, use "icy-br" and "icy-sr" for the
