Listening to a radio stream and showing metadata in the video stream

Playground Hacks

I am looking for some way to play audio streams while displaying metadata in the video stream.

That’s not something Channels can or will do.

I’d suggest a shoutcast compatible audio player that knows what to do with streaming radio stations.

I was thinking about generating the video part via ffmpeg

Then that's just a Custom Channel. In that case, you can do whatever you want as long as Channels is provided a stream of video it can play back.

So the request is to the community, not for the ability natively to Channels. Got it!

Did anything come of this? I am looking to create a channel that plays the met opera live audio stream.

It's always running - with a message usually but on Saturday noon ET, it plays the Met live. I tried setting up a custom channel with it but I couldn't get it to work. Don't need any video, just audio.
