Ability to set a show name via streamer metadata (eg. Genre or Description fields)

38 votes

Give the admin the option set one of the fields the API doesn't yet transmit from live DJs to use them as a show name. Optionally show that name on the public page, and so on.

See screenshot for visual aid. The " | Show Name" part next to the title is my current workaround, but would be great to have an integrated feature for this.

Edit: Same would be neat for album art, giving the DJs the option the have a show logo.

Show names would be incredibly helpful for us. We have streamers/DJs who do multiple shows a week and would like to differentiate these on the program schedule (which we are pulling from the schedule API) but at current the only modifiable field we have control over is the public DJ handle, which will necessarily be the same for all scheduled shows that a DJ has upcoming. In an ideal world, we'd be able to give individual schedule slots under the streamer configs a title so shows can have a name

I like the idea. The show name, description and maybe even the dj name should also be visible in the public page

A nice expansion to the API overall would help implement this, as it could play into the schedule API call which is public, to separate the Streamer in the "name" field, and the Show name in the "title" field of that schedule entry.
