Bugzilla – Bug 272
title of streamed track is missing in 5.1.5

I just installed slimserver 5.1.5 (upgrading from 5.1.1) and noticed some problems related to streaming to software players. one of these problems is that the title of the streamed track is no longer displayed in the software mp3 player (it was in 5.1.1). now it just shows "stream.mp3". I my particular case, I'm using xmms under linux to play the stream.
looks fine for me, using Winamp. Can you confirm that XMMS has the shoutcast title options enabled? I'm not sure what the exact name of that setting is within XMMS. In Winamp, its a checkbox as part of the streaming configuration for the MPEG input module.
I have both of the following boxes checked... Enable SHOUT/Icecast title streaming Enable Icecast Metada UDP Channel more importantly, I can point the player at a 5.1.1 era slimserver and see titles. when I point it back at the 5.1.5 server, I once again only see "stream.mp3".
Hm, it works fine for me (in itunes) and I can't think of anything that changed in the code that would affect this. Is the title properly displayed in the web interface in the 5.1.5 server?
yep. the web interface looks fine in 5.1.5 titles look just like you'd expect. they just no longer show up in xmms.
I'll also mention that even when playing is "stopped", the 5.1.1 server still displays "( welcome to slimserver)" on xmms. (the 5.1.5 server doesn't). I take that to mean that it's not an issue with the actual tags or files being played.
as an extra datapoint, I tested the 5.1.3 server today, and it exibits the same bug that 5.1.5 does. So this bug seems to have crept in between the 5.1.1 and 5.1.3 releases.
To help narrow this down some, I've been checking the code out of cvs for various dates between the 5.1.1 and 5.1.5 release. The problem seems to have crept in between 2004/3/5 and 2004/3/6. I couldn't help but notice that this is also the same time that bug 273 showed up. Perhaps something in the networking/streaming code?
I saw this same effect with xmms on FreeBSD. I believe Michael is correct, this is another aspect of bug 273. After the change that fixed bug 273 for me titles are displaying correctly again on xmms.
this is fixed in the latest cvs Thanks!
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
