[PROBLEM] Radio stuck on old metadata

[GuitarManMike]

Howdy!

My dad loves Moode and uses it a lot to stream music from online radio.  He called today to see if I could fix his problem.  One of his favorite stations is stuck on the metadata from some time in the past.  This has happened before, but I have no idea how I fixed it.  Is there something I can do?  Is this on the source end?

The station he's currently having trouble with is 

http://stream.wqxr.org/wqxr

Moode curtrently says it is playing Korngold.  Dad says this is incorrect and has been stuck on Korngold for a while. And I should add that I am seeing the same behavior here on my Moodes as well.

Thanks,
Mike

It's a fault with the broadcaster. moOde just displays whatever is sent by them.

Thanks. I will reach out to them.

It looks like WQXR is now serving metadata "out of band".

Just like moOde, my RadioDroid app declares WQXR is streaming "Theme and Variations, Op. 42-Erich Wolfgang Korngold" no matter what the current selection is. OTOH, using a web browser to listen to WQXR via it's website's "Listen Now" gets one the correct metadata ("Schumann's Rhenish Symphony" at this moment, for example).

Looking around a bit, I've found the metadata is now accessible via http://api.wnyc.org/api/v1/whats_on/wqxr/ and the response is
a big JSON hairball. Change the "wqxr" in this api to whichever channel of theirs you're interested in.

@TheOldPresbyope it still might be worth it to contact WQXR and see if it's just a glitch in their metadata feed.

No argument here. It may simply be benign neglect on someone's part.
