Comment (by pulkomandy):
Things have changed since 4 years ago, as now we have actual streaming
support.
I suggest trying:
- An m3u file which plays local files (to work without streams, first)
- An m3u file which plays online music (Jamendo if they still offer that
feature, or some other website, or create an m3u pointing to http files)
And see what happens.
Note that Jamendo files are not streaming, there is just one track in each
entry. This is different from webradios, which usually also offer an m3u
file, but the content is a single mp3 (or other) url that plays a
continuous stream of music. We should handle both cases, but currently I
think the first will work better.
