Hi, The icy.update_metadata directly sends some metadata to the icecast encoder, but the metadata is not passed through the usual Liquidsoap mechanism, so Liquidsoap does not know about it. The proper way to have everything in sync is to use insert_metadata (I have given a few example of uses of this functions recently on the list, for instance http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg07761.html )
