I don't think my virgin radio plugin uses the explodeplaylist??  
In fact virginradio protocol handler is probably a good example as it
uses scan url :
https://github.com/expectingtofly/LMS_Virgin_Radio_Plugin/blob/e65ccccb91f29f219c25b85b3268f0eb566c9448/VirginRadio/ProtocolHandler.pm#L638

I can't remember that exact order of doing things, I did make a note of
it somewhere.  But getNextTrack is where you work out the real stream
url. So you can probably follow it through on the virgin radio or times
radio plugins.  (I think I had to do some jiggery pokery in the scanUrl
override to make sure it used the real stream url.)

Meanwhile, I'll try and find my notes.....
