The full story
After internet radio was removed from the Cider Linux app, a non-developer described the replacement they wanted to Claude Code. It worked through Cider 4’s plugin structure, wrote the JavaScript and manifest files and connected TuneIn and Radio Browser searches.
The plugin adds a Radio page with play, stop and volume controls. Starting a station pauses Apple Music; resuming Apple Music stops the radio. The maker tested failures in Cider and reported them back for fixes, then released version 0.1.1. Offline stations and unsupported stream formats can still fail. The plugin is independent of Cider and the radio providers.
