Is there a way to retrieve metadata from a shoutcast stream?

[romainpiel]

First, thanks for this great lib, it's awesome!
I'm currently trying to retrieve Metadata from a Icy/Shoutcast. I could do it with a parallel request but I'd love to make it more convenient. Are you planning to make something like:

MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(this);
player.setOnMetadataListener(this);

Cheers

You can use io.vov.vitamio.MediaMetadataRetriever ? is it satisfy you ?

[romainpiel]

Oh does this work with icy/shoutcast streams?

[crossle]

streams? what you wanna do ?

[romainpiel]

Basically I'm streaming audio with your media player. It is working very well but I'd like to retrieve the metadata as well. This is usually described in the headers of the stream (Icy-MetaData and icy-metaint). See the Shoutcast metadata protocol description for more details.

Anyway, the app is crashing on this line in an activity:

MediaMetadataRetriever retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever(this);

error log? you wanna get Titles?

[romainpiel]

Yeah I wanna get the stream titles.
I'm not sure what line to give you from the error log. Maybe that will help: https://gist.github.com/RomainPiel/5047214

Apparently I'm missing that class:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/vov/vitamio/MediaScanner

[crossle]

It's a bug...

[romainpiel]

Ok, no problem.
One thing, it would be good to have some kind of listener instead of the extractMetadata way. A live stream can update its metadata constantly and we wouldn't know when to check whereas the listener would notify when a metadata has be found.

[crossle]

But you can try add /src/io/vov/vitamio/MediaScanner.java to VitamioBundle ?

[romainpiel]

Ok, where do I find this class?
Oh, do you mean an empty file?

[crossle]

ok. empty file , you can try? I not sure if get title?

[romainpiel]

Ok if I use an empty file it doesn't crash but I've got an exception after when running extractMetadata:

Native method not found: io.vov.vitamio.MediaMetadataRetriever.extractMetadata:(I)Ljava/lang/String;

I've faced similar issue when trying to generate Thumbnail for video file:

Bitmap thumb = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(this,f.getAbsolutePath(),ThumbnailUtils.MINI_KIND);

When i'm trying it without empty MediaScanner class, following error appearing:

05-14 13:13:53.205: ERROR/dalvikvm(10499): ERROR: couldn't find native method
05-14 13:13:53.205: ASSERT/libc(10499): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000018 (code=1)

I've created the empty MediaScanner.java class in io.vov.vitamio package, then i get following errors:

05-14 13:17:14.454: ERROR/dalvikvm(10657): ERROR: couldn't find native method
05-14 13:17:14.454: ERROR/dalvikvm(10657): Requested: Lio/vov/vitamio/MediaScanner;.processDirectory:(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V

05-14 13:17:18.514: ERROR/Vitamio[Scanner](10657): avformat_open_input: Is a directory : -21

Could you please suggest any workaround for this?

Sorry, i've noticed from the faq this is not supported in vitamio.
