[Icecast-dev] metadata sent from windows based system

[Nagy Gergely - Kék Duna Rádió]

Hello Everybody,

We develop a Windows based radio broadcast system for professional 
radios and we would like to implant an interface in this system to make 
it able to automatically update metadata of an OGG (!) stream (recorded 
from the radio) sent to an Icecast 2.0.2 server.
We read about the

curl --user admin:hackme 'http://ourseverIP:8000/admin/metadata?mount=/ourstream.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=ourArtist_name+Title'

What do you suggest for a method for updating metadata if we want to 
update it from a Windows based program (which would send information 
from our system to the listener's winamp/xmms/etc. about the actually 
played song).
Should we use curl? I don't know if it is allowed to implant curl to our 
prog (or?), or is there an other solution for Windows based progs to 
send metadata to icecast202 with ogg stream...?
Is there a suggested solution for our problem?
Thanx:
Gergely Nagy


PS: Hello Karl, does this update also work for kh48? We could not update 
metadata on kh48 with enabled "vorbis-updates" :

curl --user admin:hackme 'http://ourseverIP:8000/admin/metadata?mount=/ourstream.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=ourArtist_name+Title'
