Internet radio stations don't show metadata #501

Hey there, I'm having some issues with the radio feature. There are several stations (here)[https://stream.nightride.fm/] but none of them, even when choosing the metadata file, show what track is currently being played. Any idea what's going on? I'm on SSD v0.13.1 Thanks!

This is feature that is not implemented yet! Supersonic currently does not parse Icecast metadata out of the radio stream and only displays the radio station name that comes from your server. I believe MPV can parse out the metadata so Supersonic may be able to get it by communicating with MPV, though if other players are added in the future (e.g. casting to DLNA), the radio metadata would not be able to display

yep MPV can indeed read the metadata, and I noticed that you're using MPV to play back the media so you're probably already most of the way there ;)
