If you can fire the same manual request when tracks are done playing, then yes.
Though with your specific use case, why not just keep it a static value all the time? As long as its broadcasting it can say 'scanning'. I can assume that you could potentially be making lots of requests in a short time to change the title back and forth since radio communication can be unpredictable short bursts of chatter... though I'm pretty sure liquid soap knows how to detect silence or dead air. Maybe theres a way to detect the silence, and trigger the meta title update back to 'scanning' if theres been silence for ** consecutive seconds... > On Jan 29, 2017, at 2:28 05PM, Jeff Garvas <[email protected]> wrote: > > Alex, > > This is an interesting approach and I will give it a try.
