📻 Add any station by pasting its website — no stream URL hunting required

Until now, adding a station you couldn't find in Discover meant tracking down its raw stream URL yourself (:8000/stream-style links, .pls/.m3u files, etc.) — not something a casual listener wants to deal with.

Now you can just paste the station's homepage. Freqcast will:

  1. Check if it's already cataloged in the Radio Browser directory (fast path, no scraping).
  2. If not, fetch the page and look for the stream in <audio>/<source> tags, linked .pls/.m3u/.m3u8 playlists, or common Icecast/Shoutcast/AzuraCast conventions — including scanning the site's own scripts for sites that render their player client-side.

A direct stream URL still works exactly as before — this is purely additive. Every resolved URL still goes through the same live reachability check before saving.

Tested end-to-end against real stations with very different setups (a Radio Browser-cataloged station, a plain <audio> tag, a shared multi-station JS player config, an AzuraCast panel, and a client-rendered SPA with the stream buried in a JS bundle).
