How to set streamtitle with title format variables?

Hello,
We have our streams metadata set using "%artist - %title - Radio XXX etc". When our DJs play, radioboss switches to listening to the shoutcast server they connect to. This switching  is done via a script which also updates the streamtitle but what we would like to be able to do is pass through the title pictures r stream name from the shoutcast stream radioboss is listening to, to the streamtitle radioboss sends to our 'main' shoutcast server.

For example:
When radioboss is playing normally: %artist - %title - Release FM
When DJ is playing: %title - Release FM <- updated using API streamtitle

Hope the above makes sense. Currently it seems when using streamtitle when adding the shoutcast stream to the playlist, it doesn't accept the variables.

Can this be done?

Thanks

Yes, it only accepts the plain text. The easiest solution would be to make DJs use the title format your radio station requires.

The next version (RadioBOSS 5.8) will have a stream relay feature, that will allow to relay some other stream during set times. I think it would be more usable for your case than inserting a stream into the playlist.
