[Icecast] Info on how to display <stream-name> instead of <mount-name> in a media player

[0turn1 at gmail.com]

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

Hello
This can be the way the metadata in the stream is being sent too. IDK
exactly but could have something to do with that. I know that you can write
custom metadata scripts using java and other code to have the stream window
open a certain sized window, image, album, artist, song name, etc, etc
Vielen Dank für deine/Ihre schnelle Rückantwort.

Mit freundlichem Gruß
Thank You
