Hi folks, this is my first post. Cool to be here :)
I am developing a shoutcast client for Android with API 1.6. The playback is working perfectly but I am not able to get the meta- data (song / artist). Maybe someone of you guys could give me a hint. As the API documentation tells me there is a MEDIA_INFO_METADATA_UPDATE value when OnInfoListener.onInfo is called since API level 5. Unfortunately this is not helping at all because 1. There is no further informaton within the API documentation how to actually retrieve this metadata - or I am not able to find it. 2. I am developing fot 1.6 so this MEDIA_INFO_METADATA_UPDATE is not available to me anyway. So to me the only alternative seems to read the shoutcast stream manually and use the buffered data with the MediaPlayer as a DataSource. I tried that and it turned out to work BUT I was not able to remove a little gap between buffer playbacks because the MediaPlayer was not able to synchronize the two data sources because there is no such mechanism implemented (I guess). Furthermore I know that it is possible to get this done because there are existing shoutcast clients even for Android 1.5 available. Does anybody know something about this issue ?
