Stream title changes prematurely
#1
Hi,

Before I post this on TRAC, I'd like your feedback please.

Due to my bandwidth constraints, my streams (e.g. 977 Hitz on Shoutcast) buffer for about 20 seconds before they start playing. XBMC shows the artist and title of the currently playing song, but it doesn't take into account the buffer time. This means the the artist/title changes over to the next song about 20 seconds before I hear the song actually change.

Sometimes I hear a great song of which I don't know the artist / title. I rush to my HTPC and write down the text only to find out later that it was the subsequent song's text Smile.

Also, 977 specifically includes short advertisement snippets, so if they are less than 20 seconds, the text can actually be 2 items ahead!

Your comments / confirmation please.
