This implementation follows the reference from soundcork pull request #158. It adds RADIO_BROWSER to the known providers and includes the service configuration in bmx_services.json. Documentation has also been added to explain how to use the RadioBrowser feature. Credits to @gmuth (https://github.com/gmuth) for the original idea and implementation in soundcork. Reference: https://github.com/deborahgu/soundcork/pull/158
This update adds explicit verification checks after applying changes via XML, Hosts, and ResolvConf migration methods. The service now verifies that configuration files are correctly updated on the device before considering the migration successful, preventing unreliable states.
This update allows the service to correctly patch both /etc/udhcpc.d/50default and /opt/Bose/udhcpc.script (used in SoundTouch 10 firmware) for DNS redirection. It also improves robustness by adding file existence checks in rc.local and ensures clean state by reverting to .original backups during migration.
