Getting Metadata from Shoutcast stream Android
I am developing a Radio App for Android devices that is supposed to get streaming from a Shoutcast Server.
The sound is working fine but I want to retrieve the MetaData as well so I might be able to show the currently played song's Title, artist, as well as the Album Picture.
I used the MediaMetaDataRetriever but it doesn't seem to be working at all!
This is the code I used:
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
private ImageView bannerView;
private int[] pub = {R.drawable.banner, R.drawable.pubnautic, R.drawable.pubquad};
private int i = 0;
private ImageView play;
private ImageView pause;
private TextView title;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
private MediaMetadataRetriever retriever;
private String out;
private String url = "http://streamplus8.leonex.de:14910";

private ImageView albumpic;
private byte[] image;
private boolean paused = false;
private ImageView exit;
private ImageView wish;
private ImageView reservation;
private ImageView contact;
private ImageView facebook;
private ImageView twitter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
bannerView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.banner);
play = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.play);
pause = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.pause);
exit = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.exit);
albumpic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.artist);
title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title);
retriever = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
wish = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.wish);
reservation = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.shop);
contact = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.contact);
facebook = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.facebook);
twitter = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.twitter);
this.setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
try {
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
retriever.setDataSource(url);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please check your connection!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
e.printStackTrace();
}
play.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override

try {
if(paused == true) {
mediaPlayer.start();
} else {
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {

}
});
}
paused = false;

if(image != null) {
albumpic.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(image, 0, image.length));

Thanks for your help!
Answer
I created my own class to retrieve the metadata based on a modified version of streamscraper. Use this jar (streamscraper), this jar (jsoup) and this class to retrieve the metadata. The interface is similar to MediaMetadataRetriever:
ShoutCastMetadataRetriever smr = new ShoutCastMetadataRetriever();
smr.setDataSource(<some url>);
String artist = smr.extractMetadata(ShoutCastMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_ARTIST);
String title = smr.extractMetadata(ShoutCastMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_TITLE);
I don't believe SHOUTcast metadata supports album art so you won't be able to retrieve that.
