Sonos Controller Metadata

[stephen]

As mentioned by @elwertk, would be nice to have metadata show up properly in the Sonos Controller.

nodetunes currently supports this already, but nicercast does not.

Implementation published with npm version 0.0.12

Wow that was fast. Works fine over here yet the issue with chars persist. But that may well be a limitation at the sons end.

Easy way to test now. Crank up Spotify on my IOS device, select a song with foreign chars german, french, russian for a start and airsonos it over. You'll see songname garbled in the controller app.

PS. Are you pushing nicercast 0.0.3 update to github upstream? Still has the old one.

Yep - will follow up on issue #11 when I get a chance to test. (And thanks! I published to npm but forgot to push upstream..)

[stephen]

Re-opening this. Looks like we can also make the Station name prettier (instead of showing as "listen").

Will need a fix from node-sonos to support metadata in the play() command.
