Hi there!

I know a function within Liquidsoap that will achieve this.

Navigate to Manage Station -> Profile -> Edit Profile -> Advanced: Custom Configuration

This area lets you add custom liquidsoap configuration lines that will be inserted before the connection is made to Icecast.

If you'd like to drop the metadata, you'll need to add:

radio = drop_metadata(radio)

Save the changes and restart your station and the metadata should no longer appear on the Profile page or the Icecast mount point. It definitely appears to break the "On the Air" section on the Station Profile page, where it will be stuck with 'Now Playing' as blank and the 'Playing Next' as the same song no matter what song is actually playing next.

I tested the Song Playback Timeline for about an hour and it looks like since I'm dropping the metadata, that no songs are being recorded in the timeline - that sounds like normal behaviour to me.

@frozenplaya Glad @Lukahhh was able to provide a solution. Keep in mind, as they mentioned, that not having any metadata served by Liquidsoap will indeed result in AzuraCast being unable to track what's now playing, listener statistics per song, duration of the song played, or any of a number of other items.
