Now playing and other meta data on radio streams
Posted: 07 Jun 2012 20:49
Hello,
I noticed when using the vlc application to play an internet radio station stream (via an m3u link or a direct http link), that the vlc window title changes to reflect the "now playing" track. More than that, there is also populated meta data (title, artist, album, genre etc) available in the "Media Information" dialog.
I have tried already looking at the events and the meta data generated by my own libvlc audio player and I never see any sign of this information appearing.
I am wondering if someone can point me to how this is done, and if the same can be done through libvlc?
