There are times when we want to rewrite the metadata for a particular stream. Some things to consider

  • on a new track, the custom metadata will get overwritten if we simply use server.insert_metadata()
  • custom metadata shouldn't interfere with history log, numplays, lastplay (which I don't think it does)
  • custom metadata only seems to affect the icecast stream data, which is good. But that means we need and extra display in washtub to show the current custom metadata.
  • maybe use a database table tied to user for recent metadata entries. (i.e. 'Chris' new Tracks Show', or 'Sponsored by: ajax cleaning products')

I think the best approach is to use a new panel on the top, to show:

  • currently playing (w/custom metadata)
  • a toggle switch to apply custom metadata (or let track metadata supersede)
  • a button to open a form for modifying the custom metadata
  • show actual date/time, time remaining in current track
