I have noticed when using streams AMIP does not update its information from the new metadata. Rather it uses the information when it was initially polled. Instead, it should be polling every <x> metadata interval bytes to see if the title of the stream has changed (e.g. streams which also sent the name of the song they are listening to). I usually listen to streams and I'm unable to display the current song I'm listening to because AMIP has the nasty habit of caching it.
Perhaps you could add variables just for streams, such as %stramaddress so that we could write conditionals into our code to check a variable like %stream and if so use a different format...e.g., %streamtitle -+- %streamaddress [%kbps kbps + %listeningfor minutes]. It does appear my bug report has turned into a feature request so I'll stop now. I'd be happy if the stream title was updated properly. Thank you, Xorlev |
