Thanks sofaking for providing this addon. Radio is still well alive!
I tried the addon today the first time on a Raspberry Pi 3 with LibreElec 9.2.0 and Kodi 18.5
The live station OE1 worked well. But when I tried to listen to a past program from the Radiothek of OE1 and clicked the entry, there was no sound coming. The screen returned to the same list within a second.
ORF TVthek works well on the same Raspberry Pi.
Any idea what I could do to get the Radiothek 7 days to work?

hi franz,

glad you like the addon. i agree. radio is not dead, it is evolving

i've already seen this error, but i think this is caused by a server issue (the streaming server closes the connection). i was also able to reproduce this on the radiothek website. most of the time it works though (web & kodi)

cheers,
s0faking

Since beginning of 2020 I was searching for a solution to get OE1DD back. By accident I started to work with kodi (to get a nice picture viewer within my living room). Additionally kodi resolved my problems with internetradio (vtuner & Denon). Maybe it could also bring back OE1DD? I searched for a long time and finally found a solution for me with a strm file.

But you have it already within your addon! Thanks a lot for that. Maybe a small suggestion: enhance your description of your addon to include that it also supports 5.1 reception of OE1DD - then I'd have given it a try earlier.

Just yesterday I was glad that your addon also supports access to the Ö1 radiothek. Thus I could listen to the complete cabaret program! But from my perspective it was difficult to browse the list of podcast entries. Since I didn't know the precise titel I had to scroll through the whole list. Is it somehow possible to sort the presented lists in an alphabetical order? I couldn't find a corresponding option.

And there seems to be a minor bug (probabely within core kodi): I've added Ö1DD into kodi's favourites. Thus I can jump quickly to its stream. Works great, but the "now playing text" contains a set of % chars instead of the intended (fixed) text. When starting O1DD from within your addon itself the propper string is shown. Of course best thing would be to get the current playing title. But I assume that this info simply is not embedded within the Ö1DD stream.

the sort thing is fixed in 0.1.1. you can download it from my github page for now. https://github.com/s0faking/plugin.audio...k/releases

the "favourite" character problem is a core issue. nothing i can do about that unfortunately. the currently playing title cannot be shown for the DD stream because there is no metadata sent with that stream. All the other streams are handled with a shoutcast server which supports updating the trackinfo on the fly.

the livestream url pattern changed on the radiothek. please use the version on my github page for now. i will give this some testing time before i actually commit this to the official repo
