>From the discussion on the other thread, I understand that the Alexa skill is using 'remote_title' to report the 'on a..' bit. Looking at the LMS code its a complicated subject as to what is put in 'remote_title'. From what I can tell it, is basically the following : If its remote and it doesn't have a duration, and there is a track title but not an album in the meta data, then it will return the current title (what's in line 1). BBC Sounds streams always have a duration, and it populates the album tag and also all you would get would be a repeat of the title (line 1) anyway. So, basically, I think the answer is no, you would never get a remote_title for BBC Sounds streams. Based on that, it may be a discussion for the Alexa Skill.
