RadioTime

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I made a RadioTime playlist on Navi-X Networks. To add a Search of RadioTime. 
As requested by a user. Since you add RadioTime originally on Navi-X. I am 
informing you.

Some playlists of RadioTime are not accessible. For example the RadioTime - 
Netherlands - Most Popular. I can see the error . We need to change & to & 
in URL= Same as Issue 39. 

type=opml
name=RadioTime - Netherlands -Most Popular
thumb=http://www.navi-x.org/playlists/radiotime.jpg
URL=http://opml.radiotime.com/Browse.ashx?id=r100385&filter=s:popular
#
type=opml
name=(fix) RadioTime - Netherlands -Most Popular
thumb=http://www.navi-x.org/playlists/radiotime.jpg
URL=http://opml.radiotime.com/Browse.ashx?id=r100385&filter=s:popular
#

Just as Issue 39 I can fix this. By creating a Site Scraper for RadioTime. By 
using the opml with Yahoo.pipe and json to plx converter. Also I see more 
benefits such as adding description information for a stream. But only want to 
create a Site Scraper, if you dont't mind.

I agree that a server side scraper for radiotime may be a good thing. It 
provides more control and allows us to add more station information. I think 
your proposal is a very good solution, so go ahead.

Where did you add it? On New Navi-X 4. > Audio?
If yes, that playlist only works on the old Navi-X version for XBMC and Boxee. 
Because it use type=opml, which is not supported on Navi-x 4. 

There were some errors (read first post) with type=opml. That's why I offer to 
create a server side scraper. However I encounter 1 down side of a server side 
scraper for this site. I can't get results of locals radio station which is 
given by the users ip. 

Perhaps some people would want that and the only option is to support type=opml 
nativity again on the new app. Maybe this is to much hassle for 1 site. Also I 
don't know how long the opml of radiotime will be available. Since they removed 
this information on their site. By the way Radiotime is now named TuneIn 

I am almost finished with the server side scraper. There are still a couple of 
issues. Once finished I tell you about it.

Tikkiew has informed me of the type=opml issue with the RadioTime scraper. 
Ticket re-opened because he is working on the scraper now for Navi-X 4. 
Apparently the scraper only works for Navi-X classic. Ticket re-opened and 
assigned status: Started (work in progress)

I finished the scraper. Added it to Navi-X Networks. I only added the category 
: search by word and search by location. Since I struggled with the other 
categories (see current radiostreams playlist). I leaved them out for now . And 
category by location should cover all streams. However if someone request the 
other categories (for instance search by language). Please tell me now. Than I 
will try again to make it.

Originally I was planning that the scraper would replace the need for type=opml 
on radiotime. But I think it is good idea to add the playlist local radio. So 
we still use type=opml for this playlist

type=opml
name=Local Radio
URL=http://opml.radiotime.com/Browse.ashx?c=local

Read in my previous post why this playlist can't be made with a scraper. This 
playlist also doesn't link to other playlists. So it doesn't got any errors 
with the current type=opml

If you Rodejo and or Ironbill are happy with. Than we can replace it with the 
one we use know.
