Intro

iOS 14 Custom Widget made with the help of the Scriptable app.
It shows the metadata of Radio Paradise and plays the FLAC stream in VLC upon interacting. It‘s possible to configure each of the 4 different FLAC streams by setting the widget parameter to either

  • main
  • mellow
  • rock
  • world

Requirements

  • iOS 14
  • Scriptable version 1.5 (or above)
  • VLC iOS app (if you want to listen to the stream quickly)

Thanks

A big Thank you to @simonbs for making great apps like Scriptable, DataJar or Jayson.
