Song Title null for online radio streams

13 December 2015 - 07:31

Just wanted to highlight that it is no longer possible to retrieve the Artist and Song Title when playing online radios.
 
For example in the plugin ShoutCast with the old Gstreamer 0.x everything was working fine and when playing an online radio the Song Title and Artist name was shown.
With Gstreamer 1.60-1.70 it does not work anymore.
 
Investigating at python level I found that the following python instruction:
 
print self.currPlay.info().getInfoString(iServiceInforma tion.sTagTitle)
 
returns a null string when a streaming a webradio, whereas previously it was returning the Title of the song.
 
Oddly enough are still working:
 
currPlay.info().getInfoString(iServiceInformation. sTagAudioCodec)
currPlay.info().getInfoString(iServiceInformation. sTagGenre)
 
Can anybody help?
Could it be due to the latest Gstreamer versions and the changes to servicemp3 performed?
 
Thank you
