No real development since Q1 2020. Last release from 2016.
Users should switch over to media-sound/strawberry which is an actively
developed fork.
Masked for removal in 30 days.

I've tried strawberry, but it's unusable [1]. At least until bugs are 
fixed, can it be unmasked? I can take maintainership if needed.

Saying that it's "unusable" is quite a misleading claim when in fact
only keyboard shortcuts do not work...

Not to fan the flames (ok, maybe a little bit), but web radio support is
also rather limited in Strawberry if we are being completely honest
(i.e. awful user experience). I'm saying this as a person who has
transitioned away from clementine quite some time ago.

Cheers,
Zoltan

Done, please take of the bugs. Especially the security bug.

I'm sorry, but how am I supposed to use a media player which doesn't let 
me start/stop the playback?

This is a clear regression from clementine which has this basic 
functionality.
