[Icecast-dev] OPUS/FLAC Metadata

[Rick Keniuk]

Is this the HTTP call for injecting the “song” metadata?  
This is a capture (using RawCap in conjunction with Wireshark) of my AAC+ stream metadata input to IceCast that works fine.

GET /admin/metadata?mode=updinfo&mount=%2FFVHradio_AAC&song=Fox%20Valley%20Hit%20radio%20-%20Hits%20from%20the%20Valley HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: RadioBOSS
Authorization: Basic

The same input to IceCast capture for OPUS that does not work.

GET /admin/metadata?mode=updinfo&mount=%2FFVHradio_OPUS&song=Mike%20%26%20The%20Mechanics%20-%20The%20Living%20Years HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: RadioBOSS
Authorization: Basic

This it the output of my encoder which is DJsoft’s RadioCaster v2.5.0.0

I think Marvin Scholz indicated that OPUS and FLAC do this differently but that makes it confusing for the encoder people.

Sorry…  I’m a noob at this so I may be explaining this incorrectly.
