Hi, thanks.

Do you know if you can link any stream URL to this or does it have to come from an existing list as part of the plug in?

there seems to be demo builds available, maybe those can be tested with your url even.

*you can do basic audio stream listener with unity www (deprecated) or unitywebrequest too
