Hello,
I noticed that the latest xmms 1.2.5-2mdk (but the problem was also in
1.2.4) had some problems with displaying the title embedded in shoutcast
streaming. Basically, the title stays during one or two songs, then
disappears. You have to do 'stop'/'play' to cause a refresh and the title
to appear again (you can check this behaviour with the 'nectarine' demo
scene radio).
Someone ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) posted a patch for this on bugs.xmms.org :

For full bug report, this is stored as bug #218 on the site.
As I see that the Mdk src rpm already contains many patches, could this
one be included ? (this is really annoying to have title dissapearing
every now and then...)
Hope it's not too late and that 8.1 is not frozen yet ?
Thanx.
