ICY Metadata tags help

[aprizion]

Hello everyone,
do you guys have any xml or txt icecast ICY template, so I can set up an Icecast MP3 stream with ICY metadata tags, for the start and end of ad break, to be used with RadioCaster to read from txt or XML? The specs are below:

● Ad break start: StreamTitle='*';Duration=60
● Ad break end: StreamTitle='#'

Thank you in advance!

I don't think this would be easily possible with RadioCaster. It supports the following metadata sources: https://manual.djsoft.net/radiocaster/en/metadata.htm
And I don't really see a way on how to send those special tags automatically.

Hey everyone,
what is the code to paste in the Title format of RadioCaster when I set Read from XML, so it can read the node <titleName>MARIA ON AIR</titleName> of the xml file below? The goal is to get the name MARIA ON AIR or any other, everythime the xml is updated. Thanks!

Hello again, RadioBoss sends metadata info of the files with 1 second? And, about the fade in / out, if I set up do not crossfade short tracks 45 seconds or less and don't touch relay settings, whenever I've an relay active and a new 1 second track comes on air, fade in / out will not be applied, as I want, correct?

Actually I do not want to apply fade in / out in any cases where the track is 45 seconds or less. Thanks!!

Yes, there are no exceptions.

If you disable crossfades for short tracks, no fade in/out will be applied.

Hello, sorry for asking again, but for some reason, when I add an element with the name sarting with # the metadata not appears. I've tested in both RadioBOSS and RadioCaster with Icecast server, and:

Name of the MP3 file in the tags (artist + title)	Metadata that appears)
# comm	nothing (blank metadata)
comm #	comm
comm # break	comm

Any ideas? I am currently using Zeno icecast to test. Thanks.

 

[djsoft]

It looks like the server is rejecting the title with #.

 

[aprizion]

So, this is a server issue and not RadioBoss / RadioCaster issue? Thanks

I don't think it's an issue - it's how the servers work. IIRC, they are designed to reject some characters in order to avoid track title spamming. You should check the server logs to see what happens when title update arrives.

Hello, how can I ignore a specific metadata to not send from RadioCaster? Thanks!

Currently there are no metadata filters, I'm sorry. We have this feature planned for the future versions.

 

[aprizion]

Thanks, hopefully, to see this asap, have a great day!

Hello, any chance to get metadata filters? Currently, my RadioCaster reads XML files, but I would like to send only two or three specific metadata

Hello, is it possible to read metadata on RadioBoss from an XML file? Thanks.

RadioBOSS does not read metadata from external sources, only RadioCaster does it.

RadioBoss Cloud: enabling or disabling "General crossfade settings" makes a difference if I never play tracks, but only play events relaying streams every 30 minutes?
