Suggestion: Shoutcast radio stations - bitrate filteringenhancement

[Tom Home]

Hi all

Really like the Shoutcast plugin written by Peter Heslin. My suggestion to
enhance this plugin is to provide a feature where the selection of stations
can be filtered based on their broadcast bitrate.

I only like listening to medium/high quality stations therefore I am always
searching through the large list of stations for a bit rate of 128kb/s or
higher. A feature in the plug-in to show me only stations with a high bit
rate would make it much easier to find stations that I am happy listening
to.

What do you think?

Regards

Tom

This is already implemented: open SlimServer in your browser, go to
"Server Settings/Plugins": there you have the possibility to define
minimum/maximum bitrate.

Make sure you have the latest versions of the SlimServer.
