Allow editing of Radio station URLs and images

[dunxd]

At the moment if an error is made in entering details for for a radio station the only way to fix this is to delete the station and add it again. It would be nice to be able to edit all the properties of radio stations - stream URL, custom name and image URL - in case of errors or the URLs changing.

Since the station name might be linked to automations etc. to make changes properly means adding a new station with the correct details but a different name, confirming it works, then deleting both the new and original stations and adding it back again with the name used in the automations.

On your second point you should be using the station name in your automations so this is moot.

I don't understand what you mean.

I am using the station name in my automations. But you can't have two stations with the same name right? So if you have to correct any details you have to create a new station with a different name, and then either update all automations to match that or follow the procedure I described.

When I say "station name" I mean the box labelled "Enter a new (custom) name". Which I normally change, because the names provided in the stream metadata are usually ugly or confusing. Automations work with this so I am assuming that is what you mean.

No you would delete the station that needs updating then add it back with the same name.

That is one option for doing things at the moment. If updating was possible it would be easier and quicker to make minor changes to URLs etc.

At the moment it isn't possible to retrieve all the existing values - the station image for example, so making minor adjustments is very fiddly.

Some URLs encode the quality and you might want to tweak that, and the BBC regularly changes the official URLs for their streams, so making changes isn't that rare of an occurrence for me.
