Metadata in FLAC streams

May take a week or so though as I'm going away for a few days.

Does anybody know if there is any other way to get metadata on a stream other than ICY, when there is no help from a plugin? I don't think there is

As I understand it the Icy metadata is inserted into the first headers of the stream but doesn’t include artist / title which is handled in the stream itself

You get
icy_name
icy_description
icy_url
Etc
Which tells you about the station not the playing track

no, the icy I'm referring to is different. You would have (if supported) an icy-interval field that tells how often (in bytes) there is the icy metadata inserted in the stream

ICY has iniital HTTP headers saying icy metadata present and where to find the metadata in the stream (i.e. interval between chunks) - then in the stream it will be ICY metadata format streamTitle

On my station that’s all present in both
mp3 128 Kbps and FLAC (Ogg) streams.

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

There's no "icy-metaint" header - so no metadata in the stream.

There is metadata in the stream. I’m seeing it on all clients / apps for the mp3 stream and some for the FLAC stream —— see above

Testing mp3. Only one instance of StreamTitle - when started. Without icy-metaint there is no update to it. I don't see any updates using ffplay.

Interesting
On mp3 stream I’m seeing updates in all iOS apps I have tried, all PC apps and when played by any SB Player hardware or software. I have not tried with any Linux tools.
Pretty sure I can add an icy-metaint to the headers if it’s missing and really required but how are all of the apps / software / SB players consuming it if it’s not there?
