As mentioned, BBC Sounds streams (live radio and audio-on-demand) have a
duration and populate the album tag, so remote_title is never presented
by LMS for BBC Sounds streams.
I think for specific types of continuous remote streams it does show the
radio station name in remote_title. So what you are doing is probably
correct. If remote_title is not there, the answer is probably plugin or
stream specific, which is probably not a route you want to go down to
solve your problem. I think probably the best thing to do is not say
the 'on..' bit if remote_title is not there. We are probably in the
wrong thread for this discussion.
