Hi,

In liquidsoap a new track can start without a metadata packet attached
to it. Conversely, a metadata packet may occur in the middle of the
track.

Encoded outputs treat metadata and tracks according to what their
codecs allow. For example, in Ogg it's impossible to insert metadata
without starting a new track.

But I don't think that any output drops empty metadata packets.
However, and this is probably what's happening to you, map_metadata
has an "insert_missing" parameter, set to true by default, which
inserts empty metadata at beginnings of tracks that do not have
metadata. The idea was to hide this surprising case, so that people
can edit metadata at the beginning of tracks even if there is none.

In short, you may be able to solve you problem by passing
insert_missing=false to your map_metadata.

Now, I still don't get why you end up with a new track without
metadata. In my (simple) test I don't see anything like that.

Cheers,
