Please provide support for new Bauer radio Limited streaming interface

[Adrian_Berry]

Hi, it seems Bauer Radio Ltd in the UK is still going ahead with its changes to its streaming service.

Bauer media radio stations will no longer be available on third party sites - including Roon

Bauer media have released the following: Stations affected include Absolute radio. Greatest Hits. Jazz FM. Kerrang! KISS. Magic. Planet Rock. Scala Radio. A full list of Bauer stations can be found here It appears that all of these will no longer be available to third parties, including Roon, Tunein and Sonos. Planet Rock has issued some FAQs

Every time I ‘tune in’ to Planet Rock, I get an announcement that the service will be “stopping in a few days” (its been saying that for over a month now!)
These changes require you to log in or use an app or smart speaker before streaming starts. At present Roon does not support this interface. Which means that soon I will not be able to listen to my favourite radio station ;-(

Sonos seems to have provided a suitable interface or app.

So can Roon please provide a way to access Bauer Radio stations?

Or how about intercepting the audio stream from the web browser used to log into the radio station?
