Re: Display Artist-Song

Dean,

I think there's something odd going on here -- I've got my own MP3 files
using nothing but id3v2 tags, and haven't had any problem with mod_mp3 not
showing the tags in the stream.  It sounds like mod_rewrite isn't getting
triggered to map the mp3 file request into a mod_mp3 request URL.  The
only time I've ever seen the filename show up in the player window is when
the file was being served directly instead of being streamed through
mod_mp3.

Things to try:

1) Go directly to the mod_mp3 virtual server with a URL like:
http://foo.bar.com:8001/?op=select
(change hostname and port as appropriate for your config).  Try playing
songs directly from there, and see if the tags show up properly.  If they
do, then mod_mp3 works, and it's the redirection that's failing.

2) If you're using Winamp as a player, try looking at the file info while
you're playing.  It should have entries for "Metadata interval", "Stream
name", "Current title", etc.  If the stream-related entries aren't there,
then you're probably playing the file URL directly instead of redirecting
to Netjuke.

If you want to send me your Apache config, I'll have a look and see if
anything looks at odds with my own config.  The mod_rewrite stuff you're
using is something I worked out more or less by trial and error, so it's
possible something odd is in there that I missed.
