The web player is intrinsically LAN-resident: it reaches speakers directly
and only delegates cloud-only features (e.g. TTS) to a possibly-remote
AfterTouch service via --service-url. That is exactly what a cloud-hosted
soundtouch-service cannot do, so the standalone player binary stays useful
and is not being deprecated. Rename it to state its purpose, with a
transition window so existing downloads keep working.
- cmd/soundtouch-web -> cmd/soundtouch-player; CLI name is now
soundtouch-player. When the binary is invoked under its old name it prints
a one-line rename notice (filepath.Base(os.Args[0])).
- Build/release both names from the same source: Makefile (build-player +
build-web alias, dev-player* targets), Dockerfile (soundtouch-player image
+ transitional soundtouch-web image), release.yml and ci.yml (player +
web artifacts, checksums, Docker images; release notes announce the
rename). The soundtouch-web binary, image, and install script remain a
transitional alias to be dropped in a future release (which will break
stale fetch scripts and nudge users to the release notes).
- scripts/raspberry-pi/install-player.sh is canonical; install-web.sh keeps
working but warns.
- Sweep docs, code comments, user-facing strings, and assets
(soundtouch-web-ui.png, soundtouch-web-tunein.png, soundtouch-web-roadmap.md)
to soundtouch-player; README documents the rename and why the player
remains separate from the embedded /app.

Mirrors the TTS view's "configured -> locked" behavior. HandlePlayURL
already prefers the server-side --service-url over the client value, so
when it's set the browser field's edits are ignored anyway; reflect that
by rendering it read-only with a note, and editable only as a fallback
when no --service-url is configured. (Play URL has no SSRF: the URL is
handed to the speaker, not fetched by soundtouch-web.)

Adds a top-level "Play URL" view (nav icon: link) so users can paste an
arbitrary stream URL and play it on any discovered device — same
browse-globally-pick-device pattern as TuneIn and RadioBrowser.
- pkg/service/bmx: extract BuildOrionLocation (encode side), shared by
CLI and web handler; check json.Marshal error (errchkjson)
- cmd/soundtouch-cli: use bmxpkg.BuildOrionLocation instead of local
copy; merge dual LOCAL_INTERNET_RADIO branches to reduce cyclomatic
complexity (gocyclo)
- cmd/soundtouch-web: add --service-url / SERVICE_URL flag; expose it
in WebApp.ServiceURL
- soundtouchweb handler: HandlePlayURL wraps raw stream in Orion
location when ServiceURL is set (client-supplied fallback when not);
exposes service_url in /api/version for frontend pre-fill
- soundtouchweb mount: POST /api/play-url/{id}, GET /playurl SPA route
- frontend: PlayURL.js component with device-picker overlay; AfterTouch
URL persisted to localStorage, pre-filled from server when no override
