Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Radio Player - Live Shoutcast, Icecast and Any Audio Stream Player

If the stream metadata isn't appearing in the player, several factors might be responsible. Below are potential causes and troubleshooting steps: Presence of Metadata: First, ascertain if the stream even has metadata. If it doesn't, the player can't display details like the current song title. Player Configuration: Ensure the "Show Track Title" option is activated within the player controls settings. This ensures that any available metadata gets displayed. Server Configuration - allow_url_fopen: The allow_url_fopen setting on the server must be enabled for the player to fetch the metadata from the stream. If you're unsure about this setting, contact your web hosting provider. If you possess server access rights, you might be able to modify this setting yourself. Metadata Proxy Settings: If after the above steps the metadata remains undisplayed, consider activating the Metadata Proxy settings. This can typically be found under the HTTP player settings tab within the plugin settings page. Further Assistance: Have you followed all the provided steps but still encounter issues? We're here to help. Reach out to us for more tailored assistance.
