onMetadata is not called when player is paused

[denizdemirciglobal]

I have a question about the override fun onMetadata(metadata: Metadata) callback of the player.

To briefly explain the usecase, I am playing a live stream on my app. As soon as the live stream begins, onMetadata is called and I can extract the IcyInfo.

However, when I pause the stream, I switch to replay mode, which is another stream. I need onMetadata to get called at this point for my new stream so that I can extract metadata which is of type CommentFrame this time. However, as the stream is initially in a PAUSED state, onMetadata is not called. As soon as I start playing the stream, I receive my CommentFrames.

So my question is, is there a way, or should there be a way for onMetadata to be called even when the player is paused?

override fun onMetadata(metadata: Metadata) {
            when (val entry = metadata[0]) {
                is IcyInfo -> iceCastMetadataModel.accept(entry.rawMetadata.decodeToString())
                is CommentFrame -> hlsMetadataExtractor.onNewResponse(entry.text.toByteArray())
            }
        }

Hi! It could be helpful if you provided a bug report? If you cannot share one publicly, please send them to [email protected] with the subject
Issue #2264. Please also update this issue to indicate you've done this.

Secondly, have you tried setting the value outputMetadataEarly with the MetadataRenderer to true? Does that help provide the metadata event more quickly?
