    Hi,

    Since we have upgraded to airtime 2.4, when we play scheduled track, shoutcast receive the metatag up to 4 times.

    Here an example of a SHOUTcast 1.9.8 history:
    Played @ Song Title
    17:10:47 Martin Garrix - Animals (Original Mix) Current Song
    17:10:47 Martin Garrix - Animals (Original Mix)
    17:10:47 Martin Garrix - Animals (Original Mix)
    17:10:47 Martin Garrix - Animals (Original Mix)
    17:07:02 SAVOY & Heather Bright - We Are The Sun (Sick Individuals Remix)
    17:07:02 SAVOY & Heather Bright - We Are The Sun (Sick Individuals Remix)
    17:07:01 SAVOY & Heather Bright - We Are The Sun (Sick Individuals Remix)
    17:07:01 SAVOY & Heather Bright - We Are The Sun (Sick Individuals Remix)

    If you check the logs:

    That's on a fresh install of Airtime 2.4 no custom script, no settings modification.

    Hi,
    this could be a bug, but I'm not sure.
    Would be interesting if it's the same with Icecast.

    I am not sure if Airtime supports Shoutcast in future and would recommend using Icecast instead.
    I don't know if you can switch, but I suggest switching to Icecast.

    You could go to the bug tracker http://dev.sourcefabric.org and create a ticket.

    cheers

    Sounds similar to this problem: http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CC-5290

    Simple way to verify it, just run command in psql:
     select sc.starts as track_starts,sc.ends as track_ends,sc.file_id, sc.media_item_played,s.name,i.starts as show_starts,i.ends as show_ends,i.id as showinstance_id,i.modified_instance from cc_schedule as sc left join cc_show_instances as i on sc.instance_id=i.id left join cc_show as s on i.show_id=s.id where sc.starts<i.starts order by sc.starts; 

    If it is (any items show up), the workaround is to remove those items from database manually. This problem will be fixed in 2.4.1.

    Sorry to resurrect a dead topic but I was seeing this on Airtime 2.5.1 on two Shoutcast streams.
    Following @hoerich's suggestion that, I added an Icecast stream and I see it there, too.

    Attached are a dump from Airtime's cc_playout_history | cc_files tables
    and the playlist log from the Icecast server.

    edit: Oops. I should have paid more attention to my formatting on the playlist.pdf from the ICecast server log. I can't delete it, but attached is an update.

    This is a real bug that seems to occur (only?) with Shoutcast. It's a bug in our Liquidsoap script. I think it's doing something like sending the metadata an extra time for each stream we have in the script...

    It hasn't been a priority to fix this, but we'll definitely accept a patch if anyone wants to wade into ls_script.liq and see what they can find...

    Whilst I have not used Shoutcast (I have not the time to periodically start that server,shoutcast for me best to use external hosting),If you have no real specific reason to install shoutcast ans just wanted to be listed in the directory you could

    1. Make two additional  consecutive listen ports (like 10001 and 10002) in icecast xml
    2. Make a directory listing directives like this
    <directory>
            <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
            <yp-url>http://yp.shoutcast.com</yp-url&gt;
        </directory>

    This will only be of shoutcast v1 listing type.

    I think some where in the ls_lib there is a reference to this as a bug but since I have
    placed this

    s = map_metadata(update=false,append_title, s)

    at about line 283 in the ls_script

    In fact based on one of the Api server, I have two timed script that sends metadata at intervals

    so if someone with a shoutcast server tells me if that works or when I install a server this week I will make a suggestion

    My feeling though it might be a tweak in shoutcast

    Confirmed on Icecast 2.3.3-kh7, too. It's not just Shoutcast.
