How do I send Now Playing Artist and Title Metadata to an Icecast2 server?

Hello all,

I have Tautulli installed. I’m trying to use a webhook, to send a POST HTTP JSON payload to my icecast2 server to update title and artist metadata with the live “now playing” data from a particular client (x).

I can do this manually via browser. I’m sure there’s a crafty way via Plex and / or Tautulli to achieve this. I just have not found a way. :expressionless:

So… Icecast2 server expects this…

#### Metadata Update

This function provides the ability for either a source client or any external program to update the metadata information for a particular mountpoint.

http://icecastserverIP:8000/admin/metadata?mount=/mystream&mode=updinfo&song=ACDC+Back+In+Black

So I can directly tap that in, and get the update in Icecast2. I need to automate this, and of course substitute song data for perhaps {track_name} + {track_artist}… to achieve a live update.

Any direction forward would be great. Seems like Tautulli should have a recipe for this…

I’d like to avoid a stand alone app to interpret, but if that’s the route I need to go?

Many thanks in advance,

Scott
