Andy,
I may have the wrong settings - when I use 'extended text' the now
playing info is the stream URL as opposed to the song title??
I don't have a way to use this particular plugin, but as far as I know
the Now Playing data should be the same when it's on the second screen
as when it's on the first screen.
I just tested RadioIO (mp3 with metadata) and it works fine when
