Metadata in FLAC streams

[philippe_44]

The server developer has responded with an update that should have fixed the reported bitrate. He says the apparently excessive icy-metaint is to support 24bit and 96kHz streams.

The large metaint is not an issue (well I hope for most players) and makes perfect sense. Now, I see you servers are back on their feet but I think there is a bug to be corrected in LMS. The bitrate should be updated, even f the first value is incorrect, the parsing of the ogg header should have overwritten it. Let me check

I've submitted a patch here https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/pull/413 which solves the issue, not in a fully satisfactory way b/c the bitrate in header is wrong, but at least 1500 is used a 1000's not, as 1's. I still think we'd rather trust the bitrate from the track if we were able to acquire it rather than the one from the HTTP header...

I've added a step 2 in the patch that let user see the proper bitrate...

The fact that full metadata is there at every icy-metaint creates way to much noise IMHO, but that's another discussion

I'm back from my few days away now.
Confirmed that disabling OGG-FLAC on a pCP Player/Server allows metadata updates to work correctly.
This change is NOT necessary where the pCP is a Player only !!!
Yet to try the change on a server where I have an SB Touch available.

I have OGG FLAC set to native on my Raspian server and metadata seems to update correctly on my Radio and Material skin. I have noticed some pops and disturbances in the sound.

Yes. There is interference coming from somewhere which we are investigating. I suspect the encoder stage of the audio chain.

If anyone wants to test they are streaming from
https://jukeradio.double6.net/mp3 and /flc
We are currently in test mode so the content is ..... well there is usually something streaming that’s all I am guaranteeing
I’m uploading files at present - upto E has taken 2 days.
We are still working on the website but it is functional
Please do not publicise at this stage

Any update? Sometimes you played tracks that interested me. Always on the look out for good quality radio streams
