I have a Windows Phone project that streams radio stations from an Icecast server. I am using Background Audio Agent to play the streams.
The Icecast stream provides Track Title - Artist name as the metadata.
Is there any way I can fetch the metadata from the Audio Player?
Right now I am fetching the metadata from a PHP script every 10 secs. If I get it directly from Icecast, it will be good.
In my IPhone application I am able to see the metadata. I am using the video player in IPhone app.
Tell me whether it can be done or not.
If not, please tell me whether I can read the stream byte by byte and send it to the Audio agent.
Thanks.
