No you can't because the UPnP/DLNA standard do not allow on-the-fly metadata update. The only way around, and I'm trying to use it as much as possible, is to use the Shoutcast/ICY protocol which allows mangling of some metadata with the HTTP stream, but it only really works for aac and mp3, hence the only solution to reliably have metadata is to force mp3 re-encoding. Still, you'll get title/artist and on a few players artwork, but that's all. LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3.
