IIRC the HTTP metadata handler calls a "getmetadatafor" type routine
which provides values for client and URL.
For BBCiPlayer I found LMS calls the the getmetadafor routine everytime
LMS needed metadata even for items in a playlist. I identified an item
in a playing playlist (i.e. $client->isPlaying is true) by checking for
the $song from the URL - if not defined it is not playing (i.e. not
current) and in playlist for client.
Code:
--------------------
# As supplied URL might be for a playlist item and one that is not actually
streaming so use currentSongForUrl instead of streamingSong or
streamingSongforUrl
my $song = $client->currentSongForUrl($url) ;
