I've modified my code to check for radio.net appearing in the URL of the
favorite. If it matches, the skill plays that favorite via the
playlist-menu construct (and apparently the plugin) rather than directly
by URL. Note that playing favorites this way will be noticeably slower
than if the URL can be played directly.

It's a shame that the ID returned when you do  ["favorites", "items", 0,
300, 'search:reggae', 'want_url:1'] cannot be used to then -play -the
favorite. I have to remove the 'search' parameter and loop through the
hierarchy with ["favorites", "items", 0, 300] until I get a match. The
results of doing it that way include an ID which actually is playable. 
I also do not understand why the IDs need to be ephemeral instead of
just constant. Strange LMS behaviour but it is what it is.

Anyway, it's live so enjoy!
