Some internet radio doesn't show metadata

Feature description:

I have a few internet radio stations where the metadata (normally song/artist) are not shown. This info is shown in other apps. It appears that hls streams do not show metadata (at least in these two cases)

Example streams not showing the metadata in the app are:

https://wz7liw.scahw.com.au/live/7chillpophits_128.stream/playlist.m3u8
https://wz3liw.scahw.com.au/live/32000s_128.stream/playlist.m3u8

ffprobe shows that these streams have metadata (for example):
Stream #0:0: Audio: aac (LC), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 129 kb/s
Metadata:
variant_bitrate : 130000
title : The Real Slim Shady
artist : Eminem

Problem solved:

complete the UI to show radio metadata

Brought benefits:

Enhanced playback UI

Other application solutions:
