EXTINF in m3u playlist about iris HOT 6 CLOSED

I have a confession: I'm unfamiliar with EXTINF. Given that Mopidy core plays this fine, I'm sure it can be achieved. It will depend on what information about the stream Mopidy makes available.

ok, I thought that parsing m3u playlist is done by mopidy core. it would suffice to just show the url but this is also sometimes fail. sometimes the url is showed and sometimes there is nothing showed.

@mczerski, can you please send me the relevant part of your m3u playlist? I'm just trying to isolate whether the issue is Iris not showing the info, or Mopidy not providing it.

#EXTINF:1,MultiRoom
rtsp://livingroom-osmc.local:5004/test

the first line is meta info and second is actual song url

from iris.

The issue is that when requesting the current track info from Mopidy (eg playback.current_tl_track), it returns the rendered track information. I believe Mopidy gets this from the backend provider related to the URI.

However, when requesting the track information from a playlist, it doesn't perform a backend lookup. It just reads the m3u file and respects whatever values are set there (eg your MultiRoom string). This is why you are experiencing a discrepancy.

With this in mind, I believe the issue is related to Mopidy (or more specifically, the m3u backend) as that is what is providing us the variation in titles.

Moped must be reading the playlist track information and not using the playback.current_tl_track functionality. Iris does use this.

It seems this issue related to iris..

I can demonstrate it:
Radio_M.m3u

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:1,Ambient - UK2
http://uk2.internet-radio.com:31491/

#EXTINF:2,Echo Msk - Sample title
http://ice912.echo.msk.ru:9120/24.aac

And this is request and response about this playlist

As you can see Iris receive this information. But it render another.
It would be greate to show information from m3u in playlist. (I'm not talking about current playing track)
