Hi can anyone help!
Why is there no metadata Flac stream for JB Radio 2, when using Roon?
When I use the Naim Audio App, I get the song title for each track playing, but no artist information. This is using Naim’s HiDef stream for JB Radio 2. I decided to email the station and got the following reply, -
Thank you, Brian. I guess that Naim Audio deals with the stream differently, as they can decode the metadata. The strange bit is they can decode the metadata for the song title, but not not the artist. Welcome to the crazy world of internet radio metadata streams
I agree and that was the reply from JB. However, Naim Audio who can decode the Flac metadata stream can only display the song title, no artist information. Hence, 3 different outcomes depending on which player you are using (I) everything works (ii) partially works or (iii) does not work at all.
Morning Brian, one very happy chappie here this morning. Glad to report JB Radio-2 Flac stream working with song title, artist and the album the track is on, metadata displaying. Fantastic effort by all. Many thanks to the development team and yourself
The non-metadata stream has been off air for a fortnight. Roon needs this version because the stream with metadata is formatted such that Roon stops at the end of each track.
Until the issue is resolved, the station’s stream in Roon has reverted to the metadata one, but be aware of having to press play again after each song.
Thank you for confirming the links, though we had been using them anyway.
However, while those links are advertised that way, in fact for the last few weeks they are the opposite way round. The 8889 stream has no metadata, and the 8076 stream does.
