Streaming: How Do I Pull Metadata for Now Playing?

JnMS · January 12, 2021, 6:12pm

Hello.

I am a novice at this. I have built a simple Play/Pause app for my audio stream and that part works great. What I am now trying to figure out is how to add the Artist - Title when songs are playing. I have searched online, asked in the Facebook group, and also a quick search of "Metadata" here has not revealed any results in what I am trying to accomplish. Any insight you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

there are 2 mp3 extensions which might help

Mp3 Metadata Extension by enaixpeend
Another Mp3 Metadata Extension by jean-marc_Latour

taken from the extensions directory https://puravidaapps.com/extensions.php

and Kodular offers an ExoPlayer component, which also offers Metadata access

Thank you. I will take a look at that and report back.

Okay I am stumped. I think the one that might help me the most is the link to the Kodular Community post.

How do I get the block GotMetaData ? I don't see that in App Inventor for Player.
When Player1.GotMetaData

I only have available:
When Player1.Completed
When Player1.OtherPlayerStarted
When Player1.PlayerError
