Description Toby 2010-02-15 05:27:29 UTC

RadioTime's new track info screen is neat (You May Also Like....., Report a Problem...., etc...)

BUT, it lacks the most basic info for streams:
-  file format
-  bitrate

Suggestions (from the new RadioTime track info screen):
1.  Add the "More Info" option to display such basic info
2.  Add file format and bitrate directly on to RadioTime's new track info screen
3.  Indicate which stream I am currently listening to in RadioTime track info > Other Streams > *place a bullet next to the stream I am currently listening too*

the trackinfo api uses most available metadata.  If this is not showing, are we sure it's being sent by the radiotime streams?

Comment 2 Toby 2010-04-15 06:23:00 UTC

Yes, bitrate metadata is being sent by RadioTime.
Go to any RadioTime stream, play it.  From NP screen, arrow BACK to the stream list, hover over stream, press "+" (or press & hold knob), scroll down to end, there is the URL and bitrate.

I don't recall ever seeing format type on RadioTime streams though.
