This most certainly would be possible. The default player, located here is (from what I can tell) dynamically generated JS. However, one could possibly make a custom one using the AzuraCast API. There are numerous examples on how to access Now Playing data, with websockets and API endpoint examples, respectively. It seems like the websockets method is optimal, given that the API endpoint reportedly gives a "very brief (under 100ms) [...] performance penalty".

If needed I would be happy to cobble something together.

I failed to mention that the websockets method requires the use of a particular plugin, Nchan, according to the docs(first paragraph). Otherwise, the API is still (from what I can tell) usuable. Is the Nchan plugin installed on the tilderadio nginx installation? (assuming tilderadio uses nginx)
