running rasplex 6.03@RPI3
installed Aeon Nox 5.08 skin

On Rasplex, I notice that when I use my channel to stream live music from an internet radio, the current song info is not displayed on the screen.

Running Plex Home Theater at a windows box and with same skin, the song info is correctly displayed on the screen:

Is it an option to port this functionality to rasplex? This would be great!
thanx in advance,

Can you test with the ffmpeg avio preference option disabled?

With ffmpeg avio disabled it could work, but I found some other possible issues in the code related to shoutcast when ffmpeg avio is disabled. More investigation and testing is needed.

@kwiboo thanx for looking in to this.
After disabling ffmpeg avio, the streaming doen’t work at all…!

I attached the plugin, but as you can see below the code is very simple:
just open an mp3 stream, i.e.
http://mp3.streampower.be/radio1-high.mp3

I must say I’m surprised this setting influences the behavior of my plugin…

hopefully you’ll find a solution

kind regards,
B
