No Metadata on audio stream.

[Paul92]

Hi all

I have a NextPVR server running. 

One of the many channels I have, is an audio stream which I am hosting.

The stream has Now Playing info, which outputs the currently playing track. This work fine when I connect to the stream via VLC, and direct via Kodi. 

However when I connect to the stream via the NextPVR interface I don't see that. 

I understand as NextPVR is designed for TV, obviously NextPVR is transcoding the stream, and therefore stripping that info

Is there any way to get this working? 

I may need to figure out how to pipe this information from the IceCast audio server, direct to the NextPVR stream for it to work, unless someone has any other ideas. 

Thanks

No not at this stage. I'd need to investigate how that works before I'd know it possible, or worth the effort to add into the NextPVR player components.

This is possible using uidroid for Android and also Kodi pvr.nextpovr. In uidroid if the stream is IPTV, and it is in the group Internet Radio instead of uidroid calling NextPVR, it reads directly from the server. In Kodi the process is different but the end result is the same.

I use it all the time and love it.
