I think paul added an "explodeplaylist" to treate the customized url as
a playlist, which would convert it to the real https:// playlist item.  
That means that the real https would then be used and his protocol
handler would not be used from that point onwards.
As you say, he needs to remove that explodeplaylist and use getNextTrack
to resolve the real url (he should be able to follow my example in the
virgin radio plugin).
