ICY 2.0 is a proposed protocol enhancement for modernizing stream metadata headers across Shoutcast, Icecast, Steamcast, and future hybrid platforms. This specification is being developed by the CasterClub team and introduces enhanced metadata support including emoji mood indicators, hashtag arrays for discovery, and social media integration headers.

TagStack can fetch your stream's ICY 2.0 metadata headers in real time and compile them into a text-based output for automation encoders.
