Stream tag containers

When I play a container, I can see the track names displayed in the player, but the stream tag does not take this over; instead, it sends “2 entries – Embedded Container.” I selected “${artist} – ${title}” in the encoder, assuming this would solve the issue, but it doesn’t help either. Is there a solution to make this work correctly?

When you create an embedded container, by default this is a logical track by itself. It can contain any overlapping, multiple tracks. As such the container has its own meta data for song title updates. You can click on the small T in a script-line to overwrite/define the song title for that container.
So what is the reason to create a container and combine individual track, but still have the individual title updates?

However, there is an option in the general settings, section Streaming called 'Use Embedded Container Tracks' - which lets you use the individual container tracks for song title update:

Thank you, this was the option I was looking for and couldn’t find. The idea behind it is that if you put a stinger in a container (a jingle followed by an audio track), you can still see the title of the track from the container in the stream text, without having to modify the container’s tag.
