Radio Stream downstreaming and metadata

[simoncn]

I had the same problem with hidden characters when I copied the transcode setting from your post. I think these are added by the forum software when it needs to break a long line.

The 'ogg' transcode input type is only for local ogg files, not ogg network streams (see the list of input types in the the user guide). This is why your ogg(192):wav24;48 transcode setting is not being applied to this radio stream.

The usual workaround for this limitation is to specify * for the input type and a number of users are doing this. Unfortunately the * input type doesn't allow filters, so you can't apply different transcoding settings for different sample rates.

To enable you to do what you want, the solution could be either to add support for the ogg transcoding input type on a network stream or to add support for filters with the * input type. The code in this area is complex and I will need to ensure that any changes don't cause problems with any functionality that people are currently using.

I am away for the next two weeks and I will start looking into this after I return.
