Hi,

I'm happy to announce my newest addon "Radio". It is a music plugin to provide quick access to more than 7000 international radio broadcasts (powered by the websites http://www.rad.io (English), http://www.radio.de (German) and http://www.radio.fr (French)). I hope it is a good replacement/addition for the shoutcast and icecast addons. Please note that there are more then just "only internet radio stations" accessible via this addon.

The root-Menu contains:
- Editorials Recommendations
- Top 100 Stations
- Browse by genre
- Browse by topic
- Browse by country
- Browse by city
- Browse by language
- Local Stations
- Search for Station
- My Stations

You can browse the stations via 115 genres, 59 topics, 94 countries, 1010 cities or 63 languages (all translated to English, German and French).
You can also put any station to the list of "My Stations" (with context menu) for quick access.

If you have any comments or feature requests feel free to reply here, do it on github or write me a mail to [email protected]

The addon is present in the official xbmc.org addon repository (dharma, eden, frodo).

I haven't used the Radio add-in for a while. When I tried this morning, there were a few problems:

1. Station listings are not complete. For example, Jazz genre only goes to "Bi".
2. Once I start playing a station, there is no indication of the artist/song in the display.
3. Several stations crash Kodi when attempting to play them.

I notice the last update was more than two years ago. Is this add-on dead?
