I'm new to liquidsoap. I'm running the Windows build, and have successfully
gotten it to read my .m3u8 playlist and send a crossfaded AAC stream to my
SHOUTcast and Icecast servers. I'm very happy about that!

I'm having some trouble with the metadata, though. 

1. The main thing I want is this:

When playing an untagged file, set the ICY song value to the filename, sans 
extension.  So if the playlist item is

  "E:\music\loose untagged tracks\Beethoven - Symphony No.9.flac"

then the song value sent to the server should be

  "Beethoven - Symphony No.9"

I pored over http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/metadata.html where this 
topic is touched on, and I made some clumsy attempts with rewrite_metadata, 
but couldn't figure out how to modify the song value at all, let alone set it 
to the filename when it would otherwise be blank.


2. Every metadata update sent to the SHOUTcast server (SHOUTcast DNAS/win64
v2.4.0.147) is resulting in a "Metadata update may have failed with error: bad
answer" message in my liquidsoap log.

The SHOUTcast updates for files which have artist & title tags are working OK,
despite the "bad answer". That is, the song data is being set properly and
comes through to the clients.

The updates for untagged files also result in "bad answer", and these updates 
are being rejected by sc_serv. The message in the sc_serv log is "Title update 
for stream #1 rejected - value not allowed". So, the clients do not get 
updated data; they see the song info only from the last successful update.

Thanks for any suggestions!
