Exoplayer: Metadata Documentation?

[SteveEdson]

Forgive me, but I am having a hard time finding any documentation on how to get metadata events from Exoplayer.

I can see the API documentation for MetadataTrackRenderer and Id3Parser etc, but I'm not sure how it all fits together.

My application is playing audio only streams, using the automatic detection in ExtractorSampleSource.

Thanks.

There are many types of metadata in many types of media. What's your specific use case (i.e. what format are you playing, what metadata are you expecting)?

[SteveEdson]

Thanks for the reply. Mostly MP3 + AAC streams from Icecast + Shoutcast servers, with the addition of other misc streams.

I'm aware these particular Metadata parsers might not be available, but I couldn't really find how to get ID3 info from a simple MP3 file.

Thanks.

Currently we only parse metadata from HLS streams.

[SteveEdson]

Are there any examples on how to achieve that?

If you just need the title of each song from shoutcast.
You may try my previous patch.

Patch :

• try to add IcyDataSource
• fix Exception

For HLS we parse ID3 data from the stream. The demo app prints parsed ID3 data to logcat, so it should be fairly easy to trace backwards through the code to work out how it works, given a sample HLS stream containing such data. For MP3/AAC see Ood-Tsen's response above.
