Please do and refresh the page. + </p> + <h2>About</h2> + <p> + This is a "Radio Station Emulator". We create lists with + shows to be played, but since we are not doing streaming of + the playlists, we offer another way of "tuning in". + </p> + <p> + Providing the time a list started playing and having + pre-calculated the starting timestamps of each show relevant + to the list start timestamp, we can calculate which show is + on and what its current time of playing is. + </p> + <p> + Ultimately, you are hearing what we would be streaming, as + you would do for a regular radio station. + </p> + <h2>Steps</h2> + <ol> + <li> + First, your browser is going to ask our server here, + what is the current list that plays right now. It will + get a response and will fetch that list. + </li> + <li> + Based on properties of the list overall and the time of + visit, your browser will start comparing each show's + properties found in the list, to figure the relative + time of yours on the list. A progress bar labeled "Live + progress" will be indicating the correct time on the + show. + </li> + <li> + Having figured out the show that is playing, it will go + and download the whole show. Progress of that would be + observable via the "Download progress" bar below. + </li> + <li> + Upon completion of the download, the "Sync" button is + auto pressed and the player start playing the show from + the calculated second it calculated previously. + </li> + </ol> + <h2>Notes</h2> + <ul> + <li> + Sometimes, you might need to press the "Sync" button + more than once.
