getting metadata info from a plugin ?

currently I am using the play_callback to get notified when tracks are changed, and when this happens, I'd like to get info regarding what the new track is....I've scoured the SDK but have not found anything that seems to work...here is my current attemp
Code: [Select]
  now_playing.copy(track);
  file_info_i_full l_info(now_playing);
  file_info_i_full info2;
  reader *r = 0;
  const char *filepath = l_info.get_file_path();

  input::g_open(r, &info2);

  const char *artist = info2.meta_get("ARTIST");
  const char *album = info2.meta_get("ALBUM");
  const char *title = info2.meta_get("TITLE");

  int n,m=info2.meta_get_count();
  for(n=0;n<m;n++)
  {
      const char *name = info2.meta_enum_name(n);
  }
  
  free(r);


nothing is returned from any of the meta_get calls, and meta_get_count() always returns 0...I know there is an easy way to get this info, so any help would be most excellent...thanks..
