Spyserver support

[ryanginn]

Hi, not sure if this was requested before, but it would be nice to have support for Spyservers as a source, like qt-DAB.

I am not happy with this request. It's too bandwidth consuming.

And how many spyservers exist with appropriate hardware and stable internet connection?

That's exactly the point. Technically it is no big deal to add it, but last time I was looking for some server suitable for DAB I found nothing. I will keep this request as future "nice to have"

Some years ago I achieved to connect to such a server on the console, changing the sampling rate with sox, sent it to the same machine with nc (netcat) and connected like a tcp_connection.

I did not expect clear audio but at least got lables and could update FMLIST.

It's not difficult to implement yourself, even as normal Linux user. There is no programming experience needed (I don't have any).

But be warned, using such a function or script might lead to the opposite effect, that (due to bandwidth limitations) Spyservers might restrict the connection.

I would rather point the interest to ETI or EDI, not to raw (!) IQ samples.
