New plugin: Shoutcast Radio browser and player

[otheitis]

Hi all,

New version of this plugin.

Added features:
- Screensaver (can be turned on or off)
- Backgroundpicture (can be turned on or off, or a different picture can be choosen).
- Time at which the tv station stops playing is configurable.
- Songtitle scrolling on the frontpanel

The screensaver is a very very simple screensaver, showing the songtitle and bitrate on the screen jumping around in a box. The rate at which is controlled by the stream, with most streams the box jumps a bit in the first 15 seconds. The screensaver can be turned on or off from the config file.

I am a horrible graphical artist (although I tend to design beautifull sailingyachts, but that is not like drawing pictures) so I just took the script plugin picture and added the text Shoutcast Plugin to it. This picture can be replaced if one likes to. The background picture can be turned on or off from the config file and also the filename and location can be changed from the config file.

For more info, see the README included in the zip file, and after installation of the plugin see the shoutcast.config file in /var/plug-in it is documented.

Installation as usual: unzip the attached zip file on a windows pc. upload the shoutcast.tar.gz file to your box in /tmp and then run "tar -zxvf shoutcast.tar.gz"

Bugreports as usual on this forum.

Have fun with it, and of course you can still vote for 0.4 even if 0.5 is out.

Here is the bugfix for version 0.5, named 0.5.1

Installation as usual, see the included README.

Bug fixed:
- choppy sound after the songtitle has changed (and subsequent panic)

There was another bug that Alfi reported, but I cannot reproduce it at my box, could you please test this version Alfi? I think I know what causes it, but as I cannot reproduce it, it is hard to tell if I fixed it.
