No song title on Radio Gameplay

This is Radio GamePlay:

When playing on RadioDroid or on KDE/Plasma Advanced Radio Player, it correctly shows the song title and author/composer. When playing on VLC on Mac, or on Radiola, no information is shown.

It takes me a while to figure out how the guys get the metadata. I'm using metadata from the audio stream, your streams don't have it. Looks like the guys are doing it another way.

Small update: I think the old version of KDE/Plasma Advanced Radio Player shows the current song, bit apparently not anymore. I may as well be misremembering things.

But I can confirm:

RadioDroid shows the song title. (Probably through this code.)

ffplay (from ffmpeg) also shows it as part of the StreamTitle metadata. In fact, it displays even more metadata (but it never refreshes the metadata upon change):

Input #0, mp3, from 'https://c22.radioboss.fm:8144/GamePlay':=0/0   
  Metadata:

Interestingly, preroll ads have their own metadata:

And the real music:
