Dirble.com is another radio station directory, based on - user-contributed entries and automatic streaming server polling.

Provides a JSON API, which in v2 is easy to extract from.

Station lists contain even station homepages mostly.

- Station status indicators -

For the dirble plugin each station entry may contain a stream - status icon. They often just represent a heuristic check or general - reachability statistic. You can usually start playback without - paying attention to the status icons:

- - - ▮▮ -

Maybe currently inactive.

-
- - ▶▶▮ -

Available stream, no recent outage.

-
- - ◀◀ -

Unclear Status 2

There's a hidden config option for a custom API key. - It's perhaps redundant. Should streamtuner2 -D however reveal an error, - you can configure your own account in settings.json. -
