Icecast2 2.5 beta releases use 2.4.99.x as version number. So that is
correct.

The metadata update interface is only for MP3 and AAC as they do not
have native metadata support. Generally speaking the metadata is in the
domain of the source client. So the source client needs to send them.


I also had a look at the FLAC code. It currently only extracts the FLAC
version number from the header. Full metadata support is still missing.
(Note to mostly myself: Is there a ticket for FLAC metadata support
already?)

Opus metadata support is complete in master. But I'm not sure how old
the Windows build is.


With best regards,
