Do you get a glitchless playback with something else? I tried ffplay, it glitches pretty much constantly. I played with VLC and foobar2000 simultaneously, both players glitch every now and then but not at the exact same time.

Good idea. Let me test...

URL: http://icecast.centaury.cl:7570/SuperStereoHiRes4

Firefox 138.0.3~1.5Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Chrome 136.0.7103.114~1.5Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Brave 1.78.97~1.6Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Edge 136.0.3240.76~1.4Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Foobar 2.24.4 x64~1.6Mbpsoccasional stutter during 5 min test
.
^ all of the above done standalone/independently.
^^ maybe need longer monitoring of the browser test..

Yes, the font works in other programs (e.g. MS Word, Notepad).

The name of the font: AsobiMemogaki

This is a screenshot of the font in Notepad. The characters are normal in the sample.

For foobar2000:
X
The characters rotated 90 degrees in the sample.

This is the good one, normal characters in the sample.
X

I just found the solution myself... I need to choose the font name without the "@" symbol. Dunno what the reasoning is but it works now!
X

EDIT: I immediately googled it and found that the font name with "@" means vertically-oriented font. Now it explains everything.

Here in Germany, the internet radio station is usually pretty easy to hear without any interruptions. I've tried both with foobar2000 and ffmplay.
You'll need a few settings to get the stream working properly on ffmplay.
Just put this in the box: "ffplay.exe -infbuf -showmode 1 -acodec:a:1 flac 'http://icecast.centaury.cl:7570/SuperStereoHiRes4'".
And of course, the Hires promise seems silly when you look at the stream. It's 16-bit material that's been upsampled to 96 kHz.

New skin ...  new JS3_UTD :-)

Only small changes:
1.45   2025-05-13

CUSTOM.TXT
Added display of countryflag for RELEASE COUNTRY.   Triggered by $if2(%releasecountry%,%discogs_country%).
   NB. The Twemoji Mozilla font only responds to two-character country codes, so in case of %discogs_country% you need to add a %releasecountry% tag
      or update the %discogs_country% tag.
      Another shortcoming is that Twemoji Mozilla unfortunately has no country code (and flags) for XE (EU) or XW as far as I know.
Added display of countryflag for radio %station%.   Triggered by %stationcountry%.
Countryflag behavior for artist is like before.   Triggered by $if3(%artistcountry%,%artist country%,%country%).
All countryflags are (now) displayed in front of the tags they refer to.

UTD
Checks for %stationswap% instead of now defunct %station swap% if stream requires swapping %artist% and %title% when playing.
