Above picture shows an updated version with Prev/Next and buffer level.
This **Internet Radio** was written from the ground up so that I could learn how it all worked. As a beta version 0.1 I think it's OK to release onto my unsuspecting YouTube viewers! Although we don't really go through the code (there's over 900 lines and counting) I do explain the crux of connecting to a streaming radio URL and how we get the data stream - along with the Artist and Track information, if you want. This is a work in progress and even as I write this I have implemented a buffering system to improve playback that I hope to explain in next week's video.
