Support for obtaining and showing current track information from Icecast streams

[SNMetamorph]

Other music players like VLC or AIMP supports this and so Lyrian Music Server, it could be pretty nice to have support for this feature too. By the way, thanks for this amazing project!

What server version are you running as this should already work

Can you try changing the URL to http://stream.rise-fm.com:8100/1.mp3 (note: http, not https) and see if metadata works then?

OK disregard that. I have been able to check this. The problem is the stream uses an old form of SSL that we dont currently support but we will look to relax the requirements. I will let you know if that gets accepted. I will say though that for me that mp3 stream was unstable so that is not something which we can fix.

For the OPUS streams that requires a completely different approach to extracting the metadata and will take longer to implement

Ok the rise-fm station will be supported in the next 2.8 beta

Good! Is there anything else I could test? Also, as far as I know, Vorbis/Opus/FLAC codecs have similar metadata format, so adding support for the one codec will also beneficial for the others.

Support for the opus stream should be in the next beta.

Pretty good, I'll provide feedback later
