Support for naming radio stream

[Blaze Emerson]

Can you please add naming the stream url save on streams. THANK YOU.M

The display name should be taken from the data provided by the streaming station. Is that not working for you?

The only time that can become a problem is in Category Lists when the station has provided full song/artist details for the last song - in which case the station name usually gets shown as an Album name, which can become confusing if you have a lot of stations.

I think this would be a candidate for the frequent asked list. It pops up every now and then.

There is the name of radio station, Rage Music Philippines, but other stations doesn't have that... So please add a name for a radio station

If the station does not transmit any ID information at all, and you have created the stream from the contents of a Playlist, the data within the M3U file will be used for for title details. Of course if the station does broadcast song titles, those will quickly overwrite any text read from the M3U file.

For example, my current BBC Radio Stations M3U file:
