Then that is a limitation of the encoder. You should contact the vendor
of your encoder and ask them about it.

See my reply here:

They are. And support is complete beside that they do not show up on the
status page for FLAC based streams. But they are passed to the listener
correctly.

You must tell your encoder to update the metadata. It's the encoder's
job to send them.

a data update interface also for FLAC and OPUS?

No. As metadata updates are already supported according to all relevant
standards. Anything else would be outside the standards and would likely
be more harm than good.
