Yeah, I've never seen any of the "what's playing" be accurate.
In my experience, it's what's playing when you activate the channel - ie it's right for the first song, but never updates.
Man I wish it would update, I heard a great song on 181.fm and I ran to my chumby to see what it was, but it didn't update. I had to wait around for it play again and then I checked on my comp.
I'd LOVE it if it updated!
If nothing else, give me a refresh button to update the whats on listing
This is the data we get from SHOUTcast. They, in turn, get the data from the stations. As far as I know, there's no guarantee that this information is timely - there's nothing we can do about it.
Mebby you should just remove the now playing part of the data since its practically useless...
i had to create a "now playing" widget for T Spigot Radio since the shoutcast data doesn't update on the fly.. if you are looking for inspiration for creating one for your own shoutcast station, take a look at the one i did, located in the "Entertainment" widget section. (working on a "now playing" and client controller for SlimServer, which should hopefully be finished shortly).
