[feature request] Adjustable delay times for sending meta per encoder #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
As different encoders and bitrates send their meta data at different times, the 
next song title appears before the next song's audio begins playing. it would 
be nice to be able to delay the send per encoder to adjust for this timing 
difference so each listener sees the song titles in sync with their audio.

Thanks.

Already slated this feature for v4. However, if I understand the inner workings 
of DNAS v1 the timing in DNAS can not be made to be so precise as to guarantee 
such synchronisations.

DNAS v2 however, metadata is sent "inline" with audio, so this should not be an 
issue at all for DNAS v2

However, this feature will still be implemented as an "anti streamripper" 
feature - deliberately delay metadata so streamrippers always miss the 
beginning of a song

This feature could quite possibly resolve an issue I'm experiencing with my 
processing software that crossfades into an Edcast live source when it comes 
online.  
The crossfade appears to miss the initial metadata being sent by Edcast, so 
broadcasts blank metadata to the Icecast clients.

Sorry this post is a bit of a "me too", but just wanted to add my usecase as it 
seems pertinent.
