Webradio playlist - display of alternative streams
Hello,

I'm setting up some playlists for listening to web radio / internet radio via playlists hosted by MinimServer. One of my playlists, which is working flawless, looks like this:

Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,80s Hits
http://listen.radionomy.com/1HITS80s.m3u

#EXTINF:-1,80s Hits
http://listen.radionomy.com/1HITS80s

Explanation:
  • The http addresses are taken from the web site of 80s Hits
  • The first http line points to the 128kbps MP3 stream
  • The second http address points to 64kbps MP3 stream
  • Additionally I have a jpeg file named "80s Hits" stored besides the m3u playlist; this picture is displayed correctly

Observation:
My renderer displays now two lines "80s Hits" if I select the the "80s Hits" playlist.

Question:
I know that the renderer jumps to the next stream in the playlist file if the actually chosen one doesn't play.
The question is if it is possible to hide the second entry in the playlist somehow to the user; then the player could jump to the next available stream in the playlist but the user is not confronted with double entries. Is this possible?
Currently, but I'm open to new ideas, I do not want to rename the second, low quality radio station "80s Hits" to something else as then the picture is no displayed anymore.

Is there a solution or best practice? Did I miss something?

Kind regards
steamfan
