Playlist doesn't show the name of the radio station

[sisim]

Hello,
I use 8.2.0 and have some custom radio playlist. For example:

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,FIP Electro
http://icecast.radiofrance.fr/fipelectro-hifi.aac
#EXTINF:0,FIP Groove
http://icecast.radiofrance.fr/fipgroove-hifi.aac

Unfortunately, the name of the station is not displayed (both on the Web UI and on MALP). Instead, I see the URL only (`fipelectro-hifi.aac`).

I have the feeling, not confirmed, that it worked in versions before 8 of Moode. I have read https://github.com/moode-player/moode/issues/173 and https://github.com/moode-player/moode/issues/73 but I'm not sure to understand. Would you have an idea how to solve this?

You will need to create the stations in Radio view using the +

Hello, thanks for the advice. Indeed, now it displays the name on the web UI, but not on MPD (MALP), despite a restart. Would you have an idea?

[Tim Curtis]

The radio station feature in moOde is unique to its WebUI. Third party players won't have access to the station database.

Hello, thanks, I understand. Then there's no way to use the keywords of m3u playlists to display a name in MPD? I'm pretty sure it was possible before, maybe up to version 7. Did something change? How would it be possible to make it possible again?

[Tim Curtis]

If the station is not in the database then the name (if any) thats transmitted by the broadcaster is used, otherwise "Unknown station".

Here's what MPD sees for one the URL's from your playlist

Code:

pi@moode:/var/lib/mpd/playlists $ telnet localhost 6600
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
OK MPD 0.23.5

Thanks, but then, why did it work in the past (I think up to v7), and not anymore?

[Tim Curtis]

IIRC it always worked the way I described.
