Hello,

Allow me to show you how to update an artist and title with Icecast2. Please find the code below. In the code, replace <serverpassword> with your password and <icserver> with the name of your server (e.g. myradio.com).

Code: [Select]
http://source:<serverpassword>@<icserver>:<icport>/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/<mount_point>&mode=updinfo&song=%data%
Thank you.

Haven't tried it in a long time but I think that correct command should be

Code: [Select]
sendhttp url:"http://source:ccITu2xk@sapircast.caster.fm:14744/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/8KY&mode=updinfo&song=%data%"
For more information, please find out what valid URL formats are and what URL format Icecast requires.
