Import Internet Radios from Jellyfin's Live TV Tuners

Feature description

It’d be nice if Symfonium could handle importing internet radio from Jellyfin’s Live TV tuners. Jellyfin’s official documentation states that internet radio should be added as Live TV m3u tuners which are then marked as “Radio” by Jellyfin, and it’d be nice if Symfonium could optionally import those on the Internet Radio page.

Problem solved

Currently the only way to import radio stations from Jellyfin to Symfonium is to use STRM files, but Jellyfin’s support for them is pretty iffy. Jellyfin struggles to play STRM files that are in ‘Music’ libraries, and with the removal of the mixed media library option in Jellyfin 10.11.x it’s difficult to find an appropriate place to put them.

Brought benefits

This would allow users to cloud sync their internet radio library to Symfonium while using the Jellyfin backend. Currently the only option for syncing is to fiddle with STRM files (which I frankly can’t get to work) or simply import them manually by copying/pasting the stream URLs.

Other application solutions

Nocturne makes use of the “LiveTv/Channels” endpoint of the Jellyfin API and requests all channels of type “Radio” to populate its Radio page. You can see some of the relevant code on their GitHub here under the getInternetRadioStations() function.
