Feature request: Custom stream metadata per File Type

It would be useful to add an option under File Types such as:


Send alternative metadata to stream server


When enabled, the user could enter a custom Artist/Title or a single custom text that RadioBOSS sends to the stream server while a track of this file type is playing.


Example:


  • Jingle → Radio Albena
  • AI Announcements → Radio Albena – On Air
  • News → Radio Albena News
  • Traffic → Latest Traffic Updates
  • Weather → Black Sea Coast Weather
  • Events → Upcoming Events

This would prevent technical filenames or internal track titles from being sent to Icecast/AzuraCast and would allow cleaner metadata for web players and external Now Playing systems.


It could be added next to the existing Broadcasting title options, for example:


  • Send normal metadata
  • Do not send title
  • Keep previous metadata
  • Send alternative metadata: [custom text]
 
This is already possible by assigning the Broadcasting Title for a file type - this is the metadata being sent to the streaming servers.
