I have been using pvr ipt simple client for internet radio since today
The stations that I have set with a m3u list can also be played.
But what is not shown is the title information (artist - song).
Is the addon or on the m3u list?
With the VLC all information is displayed

Well, the only metadata in that stream is Radio Paradise Rock Mix (flac) - playlist: radioparadise.com
so that is all there is for Kodi to display which it does if you open the url directly. No clue about what happens with IPTV simple client as I don't use it at all.

PVR addon streams don't go through through the same http logic that strm files do which can detect icy metadata that is why I created my PR. flac files might contain icy data but it is possible that they also contain ogg metadata too from time to time and maybe vlc sees that.

That playlist contains a mix of flac and mp3, perhaps you are playing the mp3 streams.
