Problem you may be having, or feature you want:
Our Country starting shutdown analog radio but my car cannot play it. But i have a flatrate Internet.
Suggested solution:
Podcast is priority, but if nothing is in Playlist a preset internet stream is played.
Also there must be a way to autostart antennapod and autoplay if a certain Bluetooth is connected. Currently, I have to manual start antennapod in the parking lot. But in some cases I forget to start it.
(My car do not support Android auto, and our second Car has a Bluetooth adapter on aux)
About the auto-start with bluetooth, I recommend following up on @gomezz’ post, because such level of automation also doesn’t really fit the scope of AntennaPod I would think.
I do not need a full station support, An input field for a station link should be enougth… or a certain Podcast which run even not downloaded. I have some with low priority I only listen on empty queue.
A screen to manage stations (we cannot list them in the Subscriptions screen), which also has to be added to the menu also
Or at least a new setting, if we enable only a single station.
A new table in the database for these stations (or a new column in the subscriptions table to indicate if an entry is an actual subscription or an online stream), if we go beyond a single station URL in the settings
I wouldn’t know whether our media handler would require any changes actually – I guess we could just give it a URL (stream) to play
Change the playback progress bar in mini-player and full player such that it handles infinite play
Make parts of the player screen further conditional, such as the display of the ‘favourite’, ‘Open podcast’, ‘Description’ buttons as well as the scrolling mechanism to the description
Handle (reflect, then implement or reject) the following improvement requests that folks will submit:
Please allow to add more radio stations and add a screen to view all streams (if we make it a single URL in the settings)
Please process radio feed images so they can be shown on the player screen
Please allow to search for radio stations, not just adding via direct URL (it is hard to find relevant URLs! and you already have a search for podcasts so it could easily be added there!)
Please allow me to set the streaming quality (on WiFi I want the highest, on mobile connection I want a lower quality to save bandwidth)
…
Change the queue logic to start the/a stream after the queue is done
As you can see, it’s not that simple.
If with this you mean to continue with streaming episodes of actual podcasts: this you could already do by adding such episodes to the queue while not downloading them and enabling streaming of episodes via mobile data.
