Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Allow the user to add their own list of online radio stations via the radio station mount point URLs. Probably a 3rd category to add alongside Audiobooks & Podcasts, Radio Stations.

Why would this be helpful?

It's quite selfish, I've transferred my podcast subscriptions across from Podcast Addict so that I have them synced across all my devices I use Audiobook shelf with and the only thing that's stopping me from jumping completely is the custom online radio stations. No media to download to the server, just a list of URLs behind the radio station artwork.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Just like this really, but with the buttons linking to the mount URL

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.26.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Mmm, not quite a duplicate as it's "just" connecting to a stream of whatever the radio station is playing, no interfacing with plex or other platforms, queuing songs of choice etc, simple connection to shoutcast/icecast mount point

It is more of a duplicate because it's streaming from other services. The Audiobookshelf server is intended to provide streaming for local media and not be a passthrough for other media sources (so still requiring downloading from the internet to the server).
