Thanks! I understand!

Can you check this URL?

http://stream.i-turnradio.nl:9040

the owner of this stream is the first to complain.

It tells me 'Invalid URL' (html error 404) - seems the stream is down?!

Hello,

At this moment, till2100 our lokal time i have a live stream on my station. See www.hollandspalet.nl You see 'Nieuws'but in ProppFrexx i see Vlietstad Radio. And it is not only the player on the website because also Icecast gives the name 'Nieuws'.

Here is the live stream:
Stream in https en http:

http://streamer.hosting078.nl:1560/stream

Greets,

Wim

Same as before - ProppFrexx, Winamp, VLC all showed no song title update - and as such your web player on your web site is also not updated (I guess the text value 'Nieuws' comes from somewhereelse, a cache or wherever).
In the given streams only the initial station name 'Vlietstad Radio' is shown. But you can even test this yourself actually.

So if you are streaming to that, you can even see this yourself, that the 'Current Song' info is never updated and stays to 'Vlietstad Radio' as well - see: http://streamer.hosting078.nl:1560/

So it seems to me, that ProppFrexx does NOT update and song info to those streaming servers - e.g. you have disabled that. But as said, you can check this in the status bar of the Network Streaming Server dock panel window! And via the Streaming.OnSongTitleChanged event - I already explained that a few posts above.

Maybe it's something else, but since the new version my tag's will show an ' as first and last in the title (
met-brace.PNG
This tag was shown by radiostation

I do not have this "brace" in the tag?

Where can I solve this?
In the General settings - Playlist settings I see checkbox Update stream Title in Playlist is checked.
In Playlist format settings I see no strange things.

Also Song Title updates in General settings - Streaming looks good?

Thanks in advance
Beste regards,
Pieter

The quotes have been added by the streaming servers (new behavior how meta data is transmitted) and those additional single quotes have already been removed in the latest version of ProppFrexx: v4.2.6.9-beta!
