From where do you get this kind of strings? What service?

[Limych]

I, unfortunately, do not know what program is creating this stream. This is one of the webradios from here:

https://radiosubasio.it/player/#!/channel/1

[nagyrobi]

And how do you put streams from this webpage to your Linkplay device? Through HA?
I don't see any Icecast-compatible sreams on that webpage, they have hidden the stream...

[Limych]

Yes, the stream address is hidden there. I don't remember exactly where and how I got it there. Here is the address:

https://icy.unitedradio.it/SubasioPiu.mp3

I send it from HA to the speaker. Then it itself pulls the stream directly.

Now I'm watching the names of the tracks.
Usually the picture goes like this:

media_title: LUCIANO LIGABUE~Piccola Stella Senza Cielo~~~~~2020-08-13T18:18:13.699985~2020-08-13T18:18:13.699985~United Music Subasio +
media_artist: []

But once I saw this version:

media_title: Giorni Migliori~~~~~2020-08-13T18:15:54.106793~2020-08-13T18:15:54.106793~United Music Subasio +
media_artist: ONE REPUBLIC & NEGRAMARO~Better Days

This doesn't look like standard icecast stream metadata.

[Limych]

Even so ...
This format was not invented by me, and judging by the fact that that radio station clearly uses some kind of standard solution, there is a high chance of meeting this format in other streams as well.

It is possible to recognize this format without breaking the recognition of the standard format. The required code is already in the PR.
