 Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2011 10:27 pm Post subject: sending metadata to an Icecast stream |
 |
|
I asked our automation system provider to help us send metadata to our Icecast streams. They said...
[i]Depending on their requirements we may be able to create a custom export that will work. We can send in a variety of formats and choose the IP address and port to send to. You can also use custom field and record delimiters to match anything they are parsing for. The only thing that might be an issue is if they require authentication to send the export data.[/i]
What specifications do I need to give our automation system provider to make this happen? |

If this is an ogg stream then the details are in the stream itself, for non-ogg streams then use the admin link to inject the shoutcast compatible metadata like you would do via the admin interface
eg
.../admin/metadata?mount=/stream&mode=updinfo&song=title_goes_here
yes authentication is required as it's not an operation you want all your listeners to do, but you can use the same auth credentials as the source client will use.
