Missing thing in Streaming Source and wanted features.

[Djarum]

I have been using the Streaming Source for a bit here and it is seemingly working very well. There is an oversight that is missing, in the directory there is no option for "description" which at least in Icecast is a standard in it's metadata. It just outputs "Unspecified description" to the server.

Another thing that would be nice for streaming radio is giving multiple options in the Adverts/PSAs. For example being able to have it randomly choose a file from a folder to play every x amount of songs. Or for more advanced usage being able to chain 3 or 4 tracks from different folder/playlists, for example a file from /news/, /weather/ and /commercial/ folders every hour on the hour.

And in further testing the Advert/PSA crashes WACUP consistently when it triggers.

re: crashing, what build & type (x86 or x64) are you using? It'll probably be easier to message me a copy of the last crash report (assuming one was able to be self-generated by WACUP) which should be accessible via the link on preferences -> advanced -> error reporting.

I wasn't aware of this & my intent when I added Icecast source support was to just mirror what matched up with the SHOUTcast handling. It seems I'd need to provide a "ice-description" header value when the connection is being able to achieve what's being asked for.

Done. Let me know if you need anything else.

Awesome. Any plans on making more encoder options as well? I have been using mp3 for my stream but I know with icecast ogg and flac are very popular options as well.

For the crash, try changing the output plug-in to notsoyasapi (preferences -> plug-ins -> output -> change the one in the dropdown). Though the crash report is incomplete so it could be any number of things going on but as there was a mention of dsound in the summary log that was collected that's the only thing I can suggest unless you run wacup via its procdump mode (either manually running wacup.exe /procdump from the command-line or via preferences -> advanced -> error reporting -> bottom section of that prefs page).

Ogg+Vorbis, Ogg+Flac, Opus have been on my todo list for some time but I just haven't had the active interest to implement them.
