Hi all, I'm in the process of starting a client for a webradio which streams CC contents (hosted at www.gnufunk.org).
Its stream is Icecast based, and I have actually created a dumb client by using MediaPlayer on Froyo. MediaPlayer supports this format, but apparently there's no way of getting the metadata embedded into the stream (OnInfoListener is never called). Because of this behavior I'm wondering wether it'll be a good idea to use MediaPlayer together with a custom layer that will parse the stream before sending it to MediaPlayer itself or rather go the NDK way, porting libshout (I've have already a stripped down version built for android) to Android and use it through jni. In any cases the application will be released with an Open Source license (either GPL or Apache 2.0). Is there a recommended way? Is there any official support to Icecast / Shoutcast metadata in Android's builtin classes? Has anyone already created an Icecast client on Android who is willing to share about his experience?
