This will be the de-facto plug-in running day in day out now

One suggestion though:
Change to three digit version numbering because it's kind of 'standard'

Change your python dependance to:

This is 'required' for Eden plug-ins/script if you are planning on adding it to xbmc-repo.

Ow I forgot to tell you're my new hero

Fantastic plugin.
Please keep supporting this, it is exactly what I've been looking for...

I miss the old philosomatika streams and this really helps fill that void.

Cheers,

Any chance for AAC+ streams? I found they sound subjectively better than 96 kbps mp3. You wrote in the other thread that AAC+ is not supported by XBMC. Which XBMC version are you using? I used a modded (for AAC+ streams) version of your older plugin (before di.fm changed their design) and had no issues playing back AAC+ streams with pre-Eden XBMC.

awesome plugin m8,thank you

Martijn: Thanks for the heads up on the Python dependency - I'll be sure to add that in an update, cause the plan is to have it added to the official repo.
a11599: I've been running 10.x for ages, but I'll check out AAC+ again, and if it works I will add the stream format selection.
Glad it pleases others than just me to have some electronic beats

I have configured the settings and it's working pretty good. Many Thanks. You must know that i am a new ATV user.

BTW: Can you tell me the name of your skin? It's much more better then the default theme.

Is also a integration into ATV Flash planned to use the plugin like the last.fm plugin direct in the ATV menu instead of using XBMC?

Thanks & best Regards,

Manuel

@gonzales79: It's XBMC Dharma, with the Aeon Nox skin, using theme Neon65. Can't remember if the speaker background is something I've added myself.
About the "ATV Flash", I have no idea what that is?

Fantastic work! Love this to bits.

Question, is it possible to save the channel list such that it immediately loads them when I go into the addon?

@josephdebono: If you go to 'Add-on settings' and set 'Stream cache expiration' to 0, it will use the cache (if present, it will of course get the streams the first time).
After that, the cache will be used every time, and it loads in about 1 second.

If some of the servers urls starts giving you trouble (if the first stream address in the playlist changes, as thats the plugin uses) just go enable 'Force cache refresh' to refresh the streams.
