To speed up searches, i would suggest you to cache locally in a separated folder, for example .logos_cache, all station's png since every png has the same id of tunein radio stations and it's unique.

I don't see any need to cache data. The local database is there to store stations that you use regularly, thus reducing the need to search online. Also, as soon as you cache data locally, you have two problems instead of one. How often have you read the advice 'just delete the cache, and it will work again'?

It's not really feasible to do this, due to how the browsing works in the API. I agree that it sucks, but that's how it is.

I did switch from Phonon to QMediaPlayer, so that is probably the cause. I thought metadata was working correctly after manually setting the Icy-MetaData request header.

In this page there are also a pair of json file with a collection of radio stations extracted from there.

I came across that page when looking at TuneIn myself. I don't really want to be doing any heavy processing of data. I'd rather keep it simple and ensure that the data retreived is up to date. That is, after all, the purpose of having TuneIn integration.

When/if the domain radiotime.com and tunein will become unavailable, 404 or what else, we will be able to swap primary and secondary url without lose our preferred stations!

I have considered this before, and will probably implement it (not using curl, though

I have been contacted by lawyers acting on behalf of TuneIn. As a result, I am ceasing distribution of cuteRadio until I decide how to proceed.

Just logged in to thank u for this app. Enabled me to listen to a lot of stations on tune in radio. Now I use my N900 as a multimedia centre at work

Marxian: If you decide to revisit CuteRadio, when adding a new station it appears that in Add Station, the Source field will allow input only of http://, and so mms:// stations cannot be added.

Example:
mms://103.14.3.137:80/concert-mbr?MSWMExt=.asf

I will change the input validators when I work on the next update.
