Topic: Pandora, btplay.properties and _chumby_music_properties

Hello,

I'm looking at updating the "Now Playing...' widget, and I came across something unusual about the Pandora music channel.  Where other channels publish encoding information and information about the titles and artists, the Pandora one doesn't publish anything usable by end-users (widgets) into btplay.properties.  Is this intentional, perhaps required by the Pandora folks, or is this something we can request to have changed?  It would be great if we can get the title/tag info not unlike with Shoutcast and other streams, and more importantly that _chumby_music_properties has this change.

Thanks!

Re: Pandora, btplay.properties and _chumby_music_properties

Well, the tags written to btplay.properties (and therefore _chumby_music_properties) are extracted from the actual audio stream.

It appears that, based on your experience, Pandora is not including the tags.

Perhaps we can find another way to deliver the meta information.
