Is there a better way to handle the ingest of the file?
Am I duplicating any functionality here?
Also, wondering what would be the best why to structure code for this functionality (in the SoundCloud Model is probably not the correct way to do it.)
Eric Pugh said:Hi Martin,
No, I was trying to programmatically update the file's metadata with some of the "track" information returned from the SoundCloud API. At the very least I was hoping to set the title, I was setting a temporary filename of the imported file which included the soundcloud track id, which isn't helpful for users that need to recognize the file they just imported. Maybe, I'll just try to set the filename to the "title" from soundcloud (cleaning problematic characters)... that would at least satisfy baseline functionallity.Thanks
My understanding was that an imported file doesn't have metadata until it was already moved to stor.

So far it looks like not even the Webstream function works 100%. Quirky LiquidSoap can't deal with as many stream constructs as say Shoutcast/WinAmp/VLC, and then when it does work it causes buffer problems. I see people moving away from central libraries to more distributed file solutions, so I think it would be unfortunate if providing better options in this area doesn't gain more priority, and sooner rather than later.

I partly agree.
Having basics working is essential. The team did a good bugfixing-job on 2.5 yet.
But every user is free working on whatever he priorizes highest.
I did not have any problems you mentioned but if I got time, I try to reproduce with Winamp and VLC.
My suggestion regarding Shoutcast - don't use it, use Icecast.
cheers
