JB Radio 2 metadata Flac stream

[BrianW (Brian)]

Hello @NoNaim , there’s good news and bad news…

First, the bad: that stream is currently unworkable for Roon, see

JB Radio-2 back on air!

Hello @NoNaim , the problem is the way the station has added metadata to an Icecast audio stream. To expand, it is sending within an Ogg container successive individual flac streams with metadata in their header. At the end of each flac file/stream there is an EOS (End of stream) Ogg flag. That is followed by a BOS (Beginning of steam) Ogg flag, a new Flac file and metadata. Roon sees the EOS flag and stops. Thus if you were to play this stream in Roon, you would have to restart the stream …

But, the good news: is that for this station the problem is fixable and metadata should be available very soon…
