Update Needed On IHR Stream for 2023

[LinuxMint20]

I know this is an old topic, I have been researching it. It's all over here and (https://askubuntu.com/questions/470269/how-do-i-add-iheartradio-stations-to-radio-tray)

Im opening this here because I can't even open up an account on Ask Ubuntu or Stack Exchange. Frustrating. So it was here or reddit.

I am able to extract a link from the Firefox Inspector Panel (I am attaching a screenshot), and filtering out everything but Network links and Media, as you can see below. These links, and there are many of them, only play little excerpts of songs. A few seconds, just enough to get your hopes up, then Radiotray stops playing and won't start again until you select another station.

This is the link I was able to get from the highlit entry.

These are part of an HTTP live stream. You need to find the playlist URL which ends in .m3u8.

I extracted the m3u8 playlist, but they've gotten smarter. It only streams for one song. May I ask how YOU do it, assuming you still do? Im uploading some more pics to illustrate the process.
