[FEAT] WebradioDB compatibility as another open alternative server like Radio-Browser.info

[goliv04053]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This feature request is made because Radio Browser doesn't allow user editing radios information much easy to fix when it's wrong or without complete informations.

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding WedradioDB as another option to Radio Browser.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered using closed-source radio directory services apps, which limit flexibility and there is ads and those standard problems related to closed-source apps.

I also considered manually compiling radio links and using a media player like VLC, which is very time-consuming.

Hi @goliv04053

This is very interesting!

I did have a look at the project, but...

1. It does not have an API: "At the moment there is no api endpoint to query the database. An application should fetch the metadata json file and use it locally."
   
   Assuming that the "metadata json file" is docs/db/index/webradios.min.json, I have loaded it using python and it contains 661 entries. RadioBrowser provides a list of more than 52 thousand stations.
2. All images are of webp format, which cannot be used by the notification system (as far as I know).
   
   I know this is not a deal breaker, but it is a disadvantage.

The fact that there is no API, and the limited number of stations provided, makes me be reluctant to even consider adopting the project.

I will leave the issue open and keep an eye on the project, see how it evolves and we'll see
