I ran into this late last year, when I set up an Icecast server for streaming audio from a police/fire scanner that I have. The scanner also has a serial port hooked to the computer that outputs the talk group IDs. I have a Perl script that monitors the serial port, translates the IDs to names (i.e. "Police 1", "Fire 2", etc), then writes it to a metadata file and signals Icecast that the information has changed.
Winamp sees the data fine, but the SB2 I was using at the time didn't. As best I could tell, Slimserver was transcoding the OGG stream to MP3, and the transcoding module didn't support metadata. Or at least that's the impression I came away with after a quick walk though the code. It's possible there's an option there somewhere that I missed or that it's changed in the latest iteration of Slimserver. -- AubreyCTurnerJr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AubreyCTurnerJr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9795 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32877 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
