...nt. They see the end of the metadata block and exit, even though there might be hours left to play in the file. We can't redistribute the recorded oggs as we're unsure of how players will handle segements. Here's a sample of the ogg with metadata segmentation: http://benow.ca/misc/metadata_segmentation.ogg What we need is to reset the segmentation and metadata across the whole file. I've tried vorbiscomment to change the metadata, but it only affects the first segment. The only way I've found is to decode and reencode via oggdec -o - metadata_segmentation.ogg | oggenc -o contiguous...

...e such streams are valid, they are not, as you found, well supported. There is also no way to insert a Vorbis comments header packet within a Vorbis stream without starting a new logical stream (well, there is, but it would not be a valid stream, and would be ignored the decoder). > oggdec -o - metadata_segmentation.ogg | oggenc -o contiguous_metadata.ogg - This will lose all metadata, which you don't want. If you add again the metadata, it will apply to that single stream again. That said, Internet radio streams are usually handled fairly well by various players, which detect new streams and update meta...
