'LoadUri' method on virtual renderer should load metaData when possible #2

Closed ChriD closed 8 years ago

ChriD commented 8 years ago

the loadUri method on the virtual media renderer works nice but maybe should load the metaData of for example a radio link

ChriD commented 8 years ago

The metadata link should be available in the header of the url?! I have to check this.

if there would be metadata there would be a header key with Icy-MetaData: [linktoMeta]

The meta information is also embedded in the audio stream. To read this would be the best solution but this is handled by the raumfeld system :-(

Well i coud implement the streaming from the url in the kernel and check for metadata and then set it (metadata streaming), but is it worth it?

I'll close this issue. It would be too much effort for the results

hello,

so there is no quick win just to pass on a parameter (url) to a png for the station icon? further is there any way how i can save a loadeduri to the available station buttons? i can not save loaduri to the station buttons on the rf device - any idea how this could be possible?

thanks holli
