Hi,

I noticed that when playing Internet radio stations title and artist name is shown in Hi-Fi Cast (so far as provided by the station) if the output device is the same on which the App is running.
If the output device is switched to external devices (in my case one or more Google Chromecast Audios) the information is not shown. It doesn't make a difference whether it is a Shoutcast Station or a user defined stream.

However, there is one exception I discovered with  of one of my favorite stations where the feature works even with the redirection to external devices. Here is the stream-URL (perhaps it helps to find the cause of the matter):

Here in addition two streams where it does not work:


I hope that someone can find a solution!

Also seeing this issue. I'm casting to a UPnP renderer. I believe the renderer is provided correct metadata as my HomeAssistant server sees the correct song title and artist.
