Added New Content Types #60

Closed zo-shin closed 4 years ago

zo-shin commented 5 years ago

A few stations come with their unique content types, and they fail the subsequent online checks every time. See https://github.com/segler-alex/radiobrowser/issues/142

thanks for your help, but this is not used any more, the checking is now done from stream-check-rust project

i updated the FAQ for the infrastructure

The FAQ still says "It has to be possible to connect to it from my server located in Germany."

There are many web hosting companies which provide some free services to open source projects. I think we could find some servers in different countries/continents which could validate geo-restricted stations. If validation fails from Germany the stream link should be passed to an appropriate proxy server in the same region as the station, for a confirmation of working/broken status.

there is already work done on this, the new api project which will at some point replace radiobrowser-api is already made in a way that federation is possible so that servers in different countries can be run and they can tell each other about their station check results. the new project is radiobrowser-api-rust , there are already some test servers online, which is described in the FAQ http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#!/faq
