UK_SPAWN Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 When streaming my own stream it shows the full URL that includes the username and password. Its not a huge problem as there is only me looking at the phone but it would be nice for a "Hide Stream Name" option or ability to rename the stream seperate to the URL. EG: http://USERNAME@PASSWORD@IP:PORT/content/Stream.WAV becomes hidden OR renamed in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 There has been some talk about this before, but the issue was that streams can update their title dynamically so you would lose that by fixing a title. I do agree that with a fixed item (such as a single audio file) it would make sense to be able to edit the title via Info/Tags instead of always seeing the raw URL though.

UK_SPAWN Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 hm, I see. well if not to rename the stream then maybe just a toggle on/off stream name display or something. Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 You can hide the stream URL line in the library view using the new List Options "Show Titles Only" feature, but in your case does the URL appear in the top (Title) line too if the source isn't broadcasting anything else? That doesn't help much in the player screen though, as hiding the second (normally Artist/Album) line is a global setting which you can do via some skins, but it would apply to all categories.

UK_SPAWN Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 yeah its more in the player screen. thanks for the suggestions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Does the upper Title line show the same as the smaller text underneath? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 I dont see multiple lines on the main play screen. Just the URL in bold text. underneath that in smaller case is just "..." Same in the streams menu. URL in bold ... Stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Ah, so if there is no provided info from the streaming source, PA is using the URL as the Title and showing a null entry for the second line. For reference, if the source provides metadata you'd see something like this: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERECY! but when u record like constantly all day and im exporting one album while recording another etc.. i really dont have the time to do it. I wish I could but id rather export another 25 songs instead of typing in fields of data that i dont really care about. And besides i can always go back and add that stuff at a later date but i dont really feel its important to me personally, i probably wont ever do it.

andrewilley Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Doesn't your ripping software pick up track details online? Most do these days. Unless these are all home recordings anyway, or you are digitising vinyl or cassettes. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Not sure. I use Audacity to record stuff then manually split all the tracks up and export them as FLAC. Like old school recording the radio back in't day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Ah, hence no title info as you are not exactly obtaining your music from a sanctioned source. Probably best not to discuss that further please. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
