Hi all,

two requests for scrolling (or better scrolling):

1. Quite a few stations here alter their station name every 2-3 seconds to display song names. They keep sending chunks of 8 (or how many) characters, for example "MICHAEL ", "JACKSON ", "EARTH SO", "NG" and then the station name again, after that it repeats.

Would it be possible to detect such a thing and implement a scrolling station name? This would be much better than a constantly refreshing display, especially since errors in the RDS transmissions often distort the display.

2. I don't know enough about RDS to find where the error is here, but some stations' RDS information keeps altering between the actual station's infotext and the information about the cell broadcasting the actual RDS.

While this is fine with stations where text switches only every 10 seconds or so, one or two stations here have a switch frequency of once or even twice per second. This means, the infoline builds up halfway, then continues with a different line or just restarts.

Would it be possible to detect this as well and do a more intelligent scrolling? (one message after the other)
