Streamtuner2 is based on concepts and the UI of the original [streamtuner 0.99.99](http://www.nongnu.org/streamtuner/) by Jean-Yves Lefort.
* The original was implemented in C with Gtk2 bindings, but already had the ability to harbour Python-based plugins.
* The original was implemented in C with Gtk2 bindings, but already had the ability to harbour Python-based plugins.¹
* It was much faster and less memory-hungry.
* Keeping the parsing up to date with the ever-changing directory services however wasn't feasible.
* It **still works** with the **Xiph**/ICEcast directory, btw. Because their `yp.xml` didn't change so far.
The ST2 Google plugin was based on parsing rules from ST1. (It has been retired meanwhile though.)
¹ IIRC, I've originally even tried to reuse the original Python plugins. But that didn't pan out.
