<p>Xiph.org is a non-profit organization, which develops and
promotes the OGG streaming format, and develops audio compression
schemes such as Vorbis, FLAC, Opus, or the Theora video encoding
enve. It also hosts a list of ICEcast streaming stations. ICEcast
is their non-commercial pendant to the SHOUTcast server.</p>
<p>This channel is somehwat easy to read for Streamtuner2, because the source data is already
provided as <XML> file. (Internally we're using a caching service, which pre-converts
that into JSON lists. The Xiph-org JSON API isn't really working yet).</p>
<p>However, it lacks some essential informations like station homepages and listener numbers.</p>
<p>Xiph also uses the .xspf format, instead of .pls stream links</p>

format. It also hosts a list of ICEcast streaming stations. ICEcast
is their non-commercial pendant to the SHOUTcast server.</p>
<p>There are different ways for streamtuner2 to retrieve the station
lists available on dir.xiph.org. That's because this is a primary
plugin, and fallback solutions therefore important. Each fetching
mode has its own advantages and drawbacks though.</p>
<p>Xiph also uses the .xspf playlist format, instead of just the
more ancient Shoutcast .pls stream links.</p>

<p>As new alternative, you can let ST2 directly scrape the station
lists from dir.xiph.org (like it does for other channels). This is
something which Xiph doesn't like/encourage. But the drawbacks of
their alternative offerings are too severe and user-unfriendly;
which is why there's this raw HTML extraction mode now.</p><p>The website
listings contain full station homepages and a few more extras. In
this mode we can even acceess the XSPF playlist formats directly.
And the server search function, or browsing by audio/video format is
supported.
