 Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 2:10 pm Post subject: Displaying metadata in listener |
 |
|
I am using icecast with ices0 to stream a playlist of MP3s. Is it possible to have the information from the id3 tags in the listener? When I tune into my stream with xmms it displays the description of the stream, but nothing about the currently playing song. I would like to be able to see the information like Artist, Title, Track if possible.
Thanks |

The metadata update often used is the shoutcast metadata, not the ID3 type. Two things have to occur for shoutcast-style metadata. ices needs to send the metadata to icecast (you can check the error log for that) and the listener needs to request it. The player has to request the metadata as the metadata breaks the mp3 format. Check the xmms mp3 streaming preferences, make sure it's enabled in there.
