Song titles "Unknown" #99

Closed Putative closed 7 years ago

Putative commented 7 years ago

Whenever I check the public page, it does not show the song name but rather it says "Unknown"

Also, how do I skip a song on auto dj?

Is the "Unknown" problem happening only on the public page? Like, do you get the same on the dashboard?

Thanks for the LiquidSoap advice. As for the Unknown title, it's mainly on the public page. I have not yet seen it on the dashboard but it also seems to be showing it when people stream it and it outputs the title over their phones and servers.

@Putative If it is showing "Unknown" only on devices that directly play the MP3 stream from the server, this is likely due to either IceCast/ShoutCast not sending the metadata out correctly via the MP3 stream, or by your files not having the correct ID3 metadata.

There are some circumstances where AzuraCast can read the ID3 info on a file but the radio software cannot. For those files, you will want to open them manually on your local computer and verify that the ID3v1 information is set correctly. This is the oldest form of ID3 but the most "stable" and the most likely to be supported across all radio software.

If you have updated the ID3 tags and still have the issue, please feel free to reopen this ticket along with an attachment of a specific MP3 and I will be happy to take a look at it.
