I recently upgraded from 2.41 to 2.43. I feed my Icecast server with either a live stream or from EZStream. I am now finding that track title metadata never exceeds thirty characters. Is this new, or have I got something wrong in the 2.43 configuration? I am actually using the same one I used for 2.41, and I don't ever remember seeing anything in the XML that controls length of metadata fields. But it's 2.43, not 2.41, so something new may have appeared about which I do not yet know. Thanks in advance.

The only changes are a fix for URL Auth as well as a way how brokenness of Microsoft's filesystem is worked around.> I am actually using the > same one I used for 2.41, and I don't ever remember seeing anything > in the XML that controls length of metadata fields.

The maximum length of a single Vorbis Comment Tag is about 2^32-1 Byte (4GiB)[0][1]. I highly suspect that this is something in the source client not sending data correctly. Feel free to provide the URL of your stream so I we can have a look at it. Have a nice day! With best regards, [0] Likely there is a much smaller limit as you may run out of memory first. [1] A maximum of 2^32-1 headers can be stored. The total vorbis comment block would be 16 EiB large. -- Philipp. (Rah of PH2)

But yes, those are the ones under discussion.>There is no change between those two versions regarding that.

The stream URL is http://theglobalvoice.info:8000/broadband - Thanks in advance for having a look.
