How can I show the progress of a song on a SHOUTcast stream?
To play a SHOUTcast stream on my website I am using JPlayer and in
particular the CirclePlayer. When playing normal MP3 files it shows the
progress of a track: there is a green progress bar that shows how much of
the current track has played, but with a SHOUTcast stream this does not
work.
I have been doing some research and it seems impossible to make it work
for streams:
The public metadata on /stats?sid=1 doesn't give the length of the current
track
It is possible to get the length of a song through the stream metadata,
but then you still don't know how long the song has been playing. That
info doesn't seem available.
Am I correct that it is impossible (or at least very difficult and
inaccurate) to show the progress of the current track in a SHOUTcast
stream? If not, how can I do it?
