// 📻 modified by sk22 to use an nginx proxy for web radios
// (radio emoji indicates modified code)

// automatically generated output of `hostname -I` because nginx is running on localhost

// Default MediaTomb playlist parsing script.
//
// Note: This script currently only handles .m3u and .pls playlists, but it can
// easily be extended. It doesn't use the "correct" way to parse the playlist, 
// but a more fault-tolerant way, so it will try to do it's best and won't
// complain even if the playlist is completely messed up.
