Q: My radio station isn't playing? A: Check if the stream URL works in a browser. The stream may be offline.
Q: Song names aren't appearing? A: Ensure your stream provider is sending metadata properly.
Q: How do I support IPv6 networks? A: Use domain names (e.g., "http://mystream.com/rock") instead of IP addresses for stream URLs.
