Great, That’s exactly what I was thinking of doing but I dunno how cause i’m not a programmer :) :D but I hope that my ideas help,
1- you can use MediaElement and it’s NPM Link instead of jplayer as it can play almost all extensions "mp3,rtmp,mp4,rtsp…etc I’ve digged into the code and found it’s nicely detect streaming

var hasFlash = PluginDetector.hasPluginVersion('flash', [10, 0, 0]);

if (hasFlash) {
	_media.typeChecks.push(function (url) {
		url = url.toLowerCase();

		if (url.startsWith('rtmp')) {
			if (~url.indexOf('.mp3')) {
				return 'audio/rtmp';
			} else {
				return 'video/rtmp';
			}
		} else if (/\.og(a|g)/i.test(url)) {
			return 'audio/ogg';
		} else if (~url.indexOf('.m3u8')) {
			return 'application/x-mpegURL';
		} else if (~url.indexOf('.mpd')) {
			return 'application/dash+xml';
		} else if (~url.indexOf('.flv')) {
			return 'video/flv';
		} else {
			return null;
		}
	});

2- Alternatively you can push the streaming link (can also support local files .srtm and m3u8) to vlc using

cvlc //web link or file goes here

Note that your local file must NOT have a space in it’s name, don’t really know if this has a fix around?
so your main task is to provide a nice UI for the mirror player and vlc will do the hard job in the background. And yes it does need vlc to be installed which fortunatly raspbian and almost all 3rd OSes comes with
3-why not relaying on the nice UI of MP3Player by asim or at least I can help you providing a good skin "i’m not a programmer but am a good photoshopper :) "
4- lastly, I’ve made a small library of straeming links "arabic contents imho! it’s my pleasure to make other counrty based list and share it so you can even create a new option/payload in your module specifying counrty and it will load it’s specific file containing country’s channels :thumbs_up:

Hi Ramez,

thanks for the hint towards MediaElement. I might actually look into that.
I’ll try MediaElement first…
At the moment I’m actually quite happy with the lean text-based skin :)
Yeah I was thinking about some sort of library for the next version, too. I could use the longpress of the On/Off Button to get into the menu and Vol+/Vol- to navigate through the menu (Continent -> Country -> Station). Ideally the Library is available online and autoupdates.

–> Download from Github

I’m trying to use this modules, but it always starts on PAUSE, how can I start it in PLAY mode?

Thank’s in advanced,

I have a tip for your point 4.
I saw you are using notification system for your module, take a look at my module MMM-Navigate, it uses a rotary encoder to get some interaction with mm. So sending notifications play/pause or prev/next station or volumeup/down is no problem.
