Metadata with a hyphen (-) gives problems

[Rene70]

When a stream from an internet station plays, for instance:

Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

The title is displayed in the app just as:

A

See attached screenshot.

The artist is displayed correctly.

I'm using Poweramp build 987 on my Motorola Edge 40 Neo with Android 14.

@Rene70 There are no any album/artist/title fields in stream names - it's just a single line. By convention "-" is used to separate those, but when "-" is also used for something else, the algorithm may split it in unwanted way.

Ok, I understand that this character by default is used for artist/title separation. But now I tried on my phone Total Commander, VLC, Xiia live and on my pc Foobar2000 and Winamp. How come none of these apps have the same issue? They just display the correct title.

The logic might work better if the string formatting parses based on <space><hyphen><space>, to avoid splitting legitimately hyphenated words. Or just don't split at all if the formatting is not guaranteed.

This would be indeed a better situation. But I think it's already implemented because I just heard the song Mercedes Benz by T-Spoon and it is only displayed as artist T and the title was displayed ok.

If this was not implemented like that I would expect:

Artist: T

Title: Spoon - Mercedes Benz
