Post by: Messiahs on April 26, 2008, 07:19:41 pm

how can i get values like Artist and Songname for a streaming file ?

Code: [Select]

MJFile = MJCurPlaylist.GetFile(posInCurPlaylist)

The issue is that the playback file (radio station) and current broadcasted file have different tag values.

The SDK only exposes the radio station values.

We used to simply switch the radio station to the current track information during playback, but this caused other issues -- like the file showing up incorrectly in a library view.
