Yes, there is no uniform solution. In the late 90's I worked on a chip for audio decoding. As far as I can remember, there were two approaches that were followed. The RDS data are extracted from the FM signal and transmitted via DVB RDS additional information. Either sent in a separate data stream that runs on its own RDS-PID (Packet Identifier), like audio on the APID and video on the VPID or videtext on the TTX-PID. This is called a "private stream". The broadcasters of the FFH group have done this for a long time. ARD and IRT have come up with something else and introduced radio transponders. The RDS data is tunneled in the MP2 audio data stream. Sometimes (Eutelsat / Hotbird) the title and intepret are packed into the EPG, which is constantly updated. This is therefore always displayed when the PVR recording is played back. lms: version: 8.2.0 - 1616690655 @ thu mar 25 18:15:21 cet 2021 on rpi4/ raspbian buster 10 pointed (nfs) to musiclibrary on qnap ts212 squeeze-players: duet - cntrl-fw: 8.0.1-r16844/ receiver-fw: 77 2x radio - fw: 8.0.1-r16844 rpi 2b - pcp 7.0.1/ squeezelite v1.9.9-1372-pcp transporter - fw: 87 softsqueeze 3.9.2 on win 10 / squeezeplay 8.0.1r1343 on win 10 squeeze player 1.3.21 on s7/android 8.0.0 controller: android phone - squeezer 2.2.4/ material skin 2.3.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MichaelPr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68465 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110619 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
