Hello guys,

I'm in a trouble with the stream title change. I'm streaming in ogg format and I want to change the stream title, but when I change it, the encoder change the title field in the ogg tag and I want to change the artist field too. It's important, because our website uses the artist and the title field to determine who's the DJ, and what is the name of his show.

For example:
Title=90'sDance mix
Artist=Dj. XYZ

How can I change the title like this

Sorry for my english and thanks for the help!

Regards,
David

Unfortunately the ICY metadata update is not very well defined at the ICEcast side. The only metadata update defines in a single string called SongTitle.
As such you might only used that today.
But you might encode it like e.g. "Artist - Title" (which ProppFrexx is sing by default) and then prase it back on your Web Site.

An alternative is to update your web site directly from within ProppFrexx, eg like explained here:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=759

Also note, that you can define the stream title update format for each streaming server individually within ProppFrexx:
E.g. you might set the Song Title Upodate Format to e.g. "DJ ${username}: ${trackname}"
