It is not a true fix. The change makes sure that VLC does not request the Icy-Metadata.
This is to make sure the streaming server replies without Icy-metadata. Because if it does, the proxy changes the ICY 200 OK response into HTTP/1.1 200 OK. VLC thinks it is not an ICY stream, but the server does. The server muxes icy-metadat into the stream, vlc does not demux this metadata and feeds it directly to the mp3 decoder. mp3 decoder chirps and gets confused. -- vlc playback of shoutcast stream is chirpy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
