Station directory
Station data comes from RadioDock's own curated database (stations.radiodock.app) — de-duplicated, with corrected logos and hand-fixes layered on top of the community-run Radio Browser directory it is built from. If our server is unreachable the app automatically falls back to Radio Browser directly, so search never depends on us. Queries aren't stored; results aren't retained.
Station logos are served only from our own origin (stations.radiodock.app/logos/…), looked up by station ID. The app never loads favicons from third-party websites, so opening it doesn't leak your IP to dozens of external hosts before you press play — logos degrade to a plain initials chip if unavailable.
"Now Playing" metadata
Most radio servers don't send a CORS header, so a browser can't read their stream metadata directly. RadioDock routes only the stream URL through a small open-source proxy (source) which:
parses the inline ICY metadata blocks Shoutcast / Icecast servers embed between audio frames,
or hits the station's JSON status endpoint (Airtime Pro, Radio King, NTS, etc.) where applicable,
and returns artist + title as JSON, cached for ~15 s.
For HLS streams the parsing happens client-side: hls.js exposes ID3 frames as the stream plays, no proxy involved.
Share-link encoding
When you share a list, the stations are serialised to JSON, gzipped, and base64url-encoded into the URL fragment (the bit after #). Fragments are never sent to the server by browsers, so neither GitHub Pages logs nor any analytics ever see the payload. The recipient's browser decodes and imports locally.
