Show track information from M3U playlists

[PanderMusubi]

When showing contents of a M3U playlist, please also show the additional data for track information EXTINF that is available.

For example, this M3U file on an MPD service is called Intergalactic FM - 1 Murdercapital FM.m3u and contains:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Intergalactic FM - 1 Murdercapital FM
http://radio.intergalacticfm.com/1

Here the -1 in on the place where the length of the song in seconds can be found. But for streams, such as this one is, -1 is displayed. After the comma is the name of the stream. Please show that in the content of the M3U file when displaying such a file in the app. At the moment 1, the end of the stream's url, is shown and that is not very descriptive

Does MPD expose this to us ? We don'tparse m3u correctly

In this case the M3U file is on the MPD server (/var/lib/mpd/playlists), it is not on a remote url which is parsed and played.

I have no idea of MPD exposes this information. Could you look into that? If it is not th case I can take it up with MPD.

MPD has to expose this information, because clients like ncmpcpp show the track information, that is set after the #EXTINF directive. I would also love to see dmix/MPDroid display this.
