META...

On this page, we'll explain the commands available in PlayoutONE's Audio Engine to manage metadata.

SET META TEXT "message"

Sends a metadata message to all available outputs.

For example, SET META TEXT "This is Station FM" would publish "This is Station FM".

SET META SEPARATOR "character"

Overwrites the character used to separate the Title and Artist fields in metadata from PlayoutONE.

The default is the minus symbol (-), so to restore that, you would use SET META SEPARATOR "-" .

GET META TEXT

Returns the most recent metadata message.

The returned metatext is not fetched from any stream directly, but returns the last message sent via the Audio Engine.

GET META SEPARATOR

Returns the current metadata separator character.
