Really easy as possible addon for playing radio stations. Works as expected and replaced my used application with complicated interface. Good job!

Thank you for your feedback, I will try to improve its functionality further in updates

@DollaR84, thanks for your work.
This review applies to version 1.1.1 of the add-on, with NVDA 2024.2rc1 on Windows 11.
The radio station which can be selected when the add-on is installed can be played,, stopped, paused, muted and unmuted, but Audio ducking feature, which works as expected in VLC, seems not to work when I play the radio station.
I don't get feedback indicating that I introduced a wrong URL to add a new station.
Multiple instances of the Radio Center dialog can be opened, and in this case I cannot close the dialog.
If radio stations could be searched from this add-on, it would be great.
I've investigated this add-on for a friend, but for now I won't recommend to use it.

Thanks for finding the flaws.
I will try to process them all and fix them in the next updates.

Thank you.
Though this is not a bug, ability to filter radio stations in a predefined list would be very appreciated.

I agree that sorting will be useful, I’ll add a few options

Review for version 2.1.1 with NVDA 2024.3beta1 on Windows 11.
After installing this new version, apparently due to a .dat file stored in the NVDA's configuration folder, created by a previous version, the plugin couldn't be started.
I've removed the .dat file and this error is fixed. Anyway, Escape doesn't close the dialog to manage radio stations, and when pressing NVDA+alt+leftarrow or NVDA+alt+right arrow keys, seems that this hasn't been handled and errors are registered in NVDA's log.
Imo, this add-on should have been tested better before a stable release, or at least users should have been informed about not tested use cases.

Hello. You writes:

Could you please send me the errors that you are experiencing, since I have not seen any of these.

@DollaR84, thanks for fixing the issue with NVDA+alt+right and NVDA+alt+left arrows. I've tested these gestures with an empty list of radio stations, and I confirm that no errors are raised in 3.6.0 version of the add-on
