gaillou Registered Member Posts 22 Karma 0 OS	Setting tags of a stream Tue Dec 22, 2009 2:06 am Hi everybody, I've started writing a script that retrieves tags of the songs played on a radio and I'd like to set the tags of the stream but it's not editable. Is there another way to do it? The stream is a MP3 file and the tags are set to the radio name... Thanks.

gaillou Registered Member Posts 22 Karma 0 OS	Re: Setting tags of a stream Tue Dec 22, 2009 2:37 pm I'm using Amarok Script in Amarok 2.2.2 Beta but anyway since the file is a MP3 stored on a remote server I'm not able to set tags manually either. I'd just like to change the tags "virtually" so that I would know what I'm listening to... For now I display an OSD with the proper info each time it changes but it's not a good solution since it shows up only few seconds at the beginning of the track. If you have a better idea I'd be glad to know it. Thank you for your help.

I was trying with loading playlist from m3u and xspf files, but it work very very slowly. I think there is some bug with loading playlist from file.
