Hi,

You would need to use several tutorials and some custom code to pull the meta data from a Shoutcast stream and then push it to an iOS device.

A couple of tutorials to look at

How to add ID3 tags into a iOS stream when onTextData events are found

How to debug the events on an iOS device

One which can be used to pull meta data from a stream

If you feel like you need help setting all this up, you might want to post a request to the find a consultant forum

You may need to use a player that exposes the metadata in javascript methods (JW Player does this) or modify the example player to expose the metadata in a javascript method.

You can then use javascript to display the data on the page.

See the example at the bottom of this page, for how to get the jw player metadata in a javascript method.

Again, if you need assistance setting this up, you can post a request to the find a consultant forum

Cenk,

HLS is currently the mobile protocol for both iOS and Android devices, as well ideal for HTML5 players.
