 Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 11:11 am Post subject: Mount name showing where station name should be [Solved] |
 |
|
I have been trialling a high quality 256kbs stream to supplement my 128kbs stream. All is working fine except that when tuned in, you see the mount name where I would expect the station name to be.
Below is a shot of itunes. You can see '256' which is the actual mount name.
Here is the config for that relay mount.
| Code: |
<relay>
<server>remdj.dyndns.org</server>
<port>8457</port>
<mount>/hifi</mount>
<local-mount>/256</local-mount>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay> |
Here is the config for the mount behind the relay
| Code: |
<mount>
<mount-name>/hifi</mount-name>
<fallback-mount>/fallback256StereoMP3.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount> |
Here is the contents of the .pls file
| Code: |
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://bclive.dyndns.org:8457/256
Title1=Budgie Collective
Length1=-1
Version=2 |
Normally I would expect this to be populated by the 'Station Name' field in the encoder on SAM, which I have populated, and works for my other encoder/stream.
I also added the stream description and title in to the relay config above, I'm not sure if it's necessary. But it happens either way. The Artist, track and URL info alternate fine, so meta data is being passed, Just not station description/title.

strictly speaking the mountpoint is /256 so are you sure the player is showing the mountpoint name without the initial / or just the bitrate? maybe try an alternative mountpoint, maybe an extension is wanted to trigger something?

Yeah it's the info in the mount tag. If I change that iTunes will display whatever I put in there.
To demonstrate I have changed it to /hifi and now iTunes displays 'hifi'
| Code: |
<relay>
<server>remdj.dyndns.org</server>
<port>8457</port>
<mount>/hifi</mount>
<local-mount>/hifi</local-mount>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay> |

OK I fixed it. Seems to have been the relay shoutcast meta data tag. I cleared that, and iTunes still had it cached somehow. I restarted iTunes a few times and cleared the .pls history and it has come right.
FWIW, I'm not using shoutcast. I must have put that tag in when trialling different configs. I was reading over it as simply 'relay meta data'  |
