Bedienelemente im Player auf iPhone SE 2022 nicht nutzbar

Nicht dass es langweilig wird… ich habe noch einen… ? die Player-Darstellung auf einem iPhone SE 2022 mit iOS 26.1 hat einen ähnlichen Bug. Dort sind die Control-Elemente komplett hinter der Auswahl “Player, Radio, Settings” versteckt. Hier ist kein Anzeigezoom aktiv.

Manually Trigger Song Recognition

Add Song to Apple Music Playlist

I would like to see an option do quickly add a played song to a playlist in Apple Music. Either to a dedicated Pladio playlist or one I specifically select..

Recognizable station logos if not existing in database

If the Pladio radio station database is not delivering a station logo (favicon), then Pladio should offer something more recognizable and linkable to the radio station instead a placeholder favicon. This idea is a feature request of the user Absenm.

Ein neuer Test

Hier ein Bild:

„Follow Me“ feature

A “follow me” automation that would switch to other nearby favorite stations as the current station goes beyond a set range, similar to old time road trips. Another idea reported by Absenm.

Logos sources

Ability to choose radio logos, either with a URL as currently, or by selecting from the iPhone photo album (like the Broadcasts app does). Also a plus, absolutly not mandatory :)

Multiple playlists for favorites

Genres-Liste

Da die Senderliste lang ist, wäre eine Genre-Liste nützlich, aus der man das Gewünschte selektiert. Tolles Projekt! Danke! Entsprechend Rückmeldung von Rai, eine Genre-Liste mit Multi-Selektion. Eventuell mit Genre-Textvervollständigung.

Station Metadata Override to Fingerprinting

I have noticed some radio stations have very accurate meta data. Others have somewhat bizarrely inaccurate data (this is not a Pladio error but actual station broadcast error). I suggest a station specific override option to always use audio fingerprinting, even if metadata is available in the stream, when tuned to that station.

LastFM / scrobber

Send details of each song you listen to through to the user's connected LastFM account (i.e. scrobbler support). Spotify and Tidal have built-in LastFM support, but I'm not aware of any radio apps that can do this (needs the automatic song detection that you've already built)
