This guide explains how to transmit metadata for the radio stream sent from your Streaming radio encoder.

2. Click on the icon in the top right corner of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu, for example).
3. Select Streaming radio (in the Streaming section).
4. Click on the name of the relevant item in the displayed table.
5. Click on the name of the relevant radio station.
6. Click on Settings in the left sidebar menu.

7. Click the button to copy the metadata link.

For developers coding a player, there are libraries that can fetch the transmitted info and display it, as the data is transmitted within the stream data. Another option is to retrieve the info directly from the server itself.
