Big thanks and a few feature requests

[scotthibbs]

History: I'm been playing with a Proxmox server in my homelab and came across Airsonic-Advanced/Airsonic-Advanced and found on reddit that this repository was more active and moved to it tonight. I took the opportunity to update Alpine Linux and then to this stable release once I updated java to 17. Then to the newest edge release once I figured out java needed to go to 21. Fun!! I'm back and all updated.

Again big thanks to you guys!!!

Current: I was busy making playlists, until I discovered fmstream.org and started adding live streams.. I'm jammen to Blues, Bluegrass, Zydeco, Disco, Funk, Jazz, early Hip Hop - and I threw in a Christmas piano channel to boot. lol Basically what I can't hear on local FM.

Using tailscale, I stream from my phone in the cars. I've discovered my Ultrasonic app doesn't show the live channels, so I started using the webpage directly which is a little harder to navigate. I'm looking for an android app to show the live channels.

Ideas: I can add feature request issues for these but wanted to bounce them here in case I'm just crazy.. :)

1. Meanwhile, there is a "Playlists", "Podcasts", and "Bookmarks" menu items at the top, can we add a "Live Feeds" tab to display the Internet TV and radio links? I got 47 channels now and they don't all fit on the left pane. Plus we can some of the following features to that page.
2. I kinda want to keep the left pane like it is and just add a dedicated page for the live feeds. My left pane is long enough with over 8,000 songs by artists/folders so maybe the live feed links could be reduced to a link to the Live Feed webpage.
3. "Internet TV & radio" - radio needs to be capitalized on the left pane and the Settings page. I suggest just reducing this to "Live Feeds"
4. Also in the left pane, The play button is what plays music (it's small!) where the big name is the website source. I'd like both of these items to play (I know I can place the stream in both places) and add a small square website icon to the right for the source website. It is highly unlikely to need to go to the source website but it is nice to have. I'm willing to keep the name to a certain length to accomplish this formating.
5. Would love to sort this list by name. I've named mine by genre first then unique name. "Blues Houson Radio", but 40 channels later I added "Blues Music Fan Radio". Be nice if I could put these together or sort the list.
6. Possible shortcuts to the live feeds by position or at the top of the page a dial/dropdown to play the feed.

I need suggestions on:

1. an android app that will show the live feeds
2. I wonder if there is an alexa skill for this server?
3. if not, what's the suggestion for an inexpesive multiple speaker setup.

Again HUGE THANKS FOR THE SOFTWARE AND YOUR TIME
