Feature request: Journaline support

[timxllr]

It would be amazing to have native support for decoding and displaying Journaline data structures directly within AbracaDABra's clean UI!

Since AbracaDABra already excels at UI design and user experience, a dedicated, tree-structured viewer tab (or collapsible side panel) for Journaline topics would make this software the ultimate DAB/DAB+ power tool.

Why this would be awesome:

1. Real-world relevance & Active use: Multiple DAB ensembles (e.g. in Germany and across Europe) actively broadcast Journaline news, sports, weather, and program information.
2. Emergency Warning Systems (EWF): Journaline is a core component of DAB Emergency Warning Functionality (EWF). In disaster or emergency scenarios, textual detailed instructions and localized warning updates are transmitted via Journaline alongside audio alerts.
3. Completeness: With Slideshow (SLS), Dynamic Label (DL/DL+), EPG, and Journaline supported, AbracaDABra would cover virtually all major user-facing DAB data services in one modern app.

Visual Reference / Mockup Inspiration
Journaline provides a hierarchical text menu (similar to Teletext, but structured as navigable topics and sub-topics):

(In AbracaDABra, a simple Qt-based tree view or structured tabbed list in the current UI style would fit perfectly!)

Thank you so much for your amazing work on AbracaDABra! 🚀

But where is this still in use? Only on DLF on Bundesmux? Can you share us actual screenshots?

Seems it's also used at hr in Hessen.

It has been completely switched off on VAL 202 in Slovenia (but it was really detailed like their website and included even images from Internet); and Radio ONE (ex Technikum ONE) in Austria is only transmitting their (former) address and phone number.

That is exactly the point. As far as I know, only DLF broadcasts it, I do not have recording of any other ensemble with this Journaline. I agree that it would make AbracaDABra compete but I am not sure it is worth the implementation effort. So currently this is low priority for me.
