Feature Request : Add different Country Radios #4

Open skyGtm opened 2 months ago

Radio apps in the playstore are full of ads.

If there is a radio app to listen radio of different country and languages, it will be helpful to people like me, who is learning language, and by listening to radios of different country(language) helps to improve listening skills in new language.

I believe this feature will be helpful to many people.

API @ https://www.radio-browser.info/countries

Thankyou for creating such a wonderful app, with clean UI and usability.

I am really glad to get a feature request. And also thanks the API link. However I never thought of supporting countries other that Nepal. Integration API will be little difficult but is doable. I took a look at the API and the Nepali stations the API provides and found that there are only few channels and some are duplicate. Another thing I noticed was, the developer completely removed the channel removing functionality. This was done to protect it from harmful behaviors but the duplicate channel will be there forever.

If I integrate the API we won't have all the radio stations from Nepal or we have to submit every channel to the radio-browser which is not ideal. There should be a better way to handle this but for now I may not be able to integrate the API. I will still try to look for the solution and what can be done to support more countries.
