    lavf/http: add support for reading streamcast metadata · a92fbe16
    wm4 authored
    Allow applications to request reading streamcast metadata. This uses
    AVOptions as API, and requires the application to explicitly request
    and read metadata. Metadata can be updated mid-stream; if an
    application is interested in that, it has to poll for the data by
    reading the "icy_metadata_packet" option in regular intervals.
    
    There doesn't seem to be a nice way to transfer the metadata in a nicer
    way. Converting the metadata to ID3v2 tags might be a nice idea, but
    the libavformat mp3 demuxer doesn't seem to read these tags mid-stream,
    and even then we couldn't guarantee that tags are not inserted in the
    middle of mp3 packet data.
    
    This commit provides the minimum to enable applications to retrieve
    this information at all.
