Hi,

Audio sync, I'm bypassing that problem by only using the audio from the Video. As part of the macro to fire the video I'm planning on doing a mute on the rivendell output using the MD macro. If I was using jack I could do a jack disconnect on the output. I suppose there must be an equivalent in ALSA.

The video fires almost instantly so there is only a split second difference on rdairplay and the audio coming back from the video itself. The tricky part is getting ffmpeg to encode for streaming purposes as well as play for radio broadcast but I'm pretty sure it can be done (if not liquidsoap can do streaming and playback at the same time CPU permitting).

The only reason I keep Riv in the loop is I like the automation/scheduling part of it and while a presenter is there, getting a rough time left to play on the video is very helpful via the audio playout buttons as normal.

Sounds interesting!

Maybe in the future we have to supply some kind of video supplement to our radio stream, because people are always looking at their smartphone, TV etc.

Are you testing with music videos? I think it would be very hard to keep the picture and audio in sync.

    Hi all,

    I've been playing around with video streaming using
    ffmpeg/liquidsoap.  Its very much a work in progress and I've not
    figured everything out yet.

    I was thinking of storing videos separately to Riv but manually
    renaming the files to the cart numbers in Riv (making sure the
    video is the same length as the Riv audio).  Then using macros
    attached to the start/stop commands to RN ffmpeg -i CARTNUMBER.mp4
    etc.

    From what I can figure out if you present all the streams to
    Icecast you can use Liquidsoap to switch to video streams when
    they are live and then ffmpeg the mixed stream back to streaming
    providers for the broadcast.

    As an aside I've already tested Riv firing cvlc to a secondary
    screen for a live event recently and it worked great.

    Anyway all I'm really asking is has anyone attempted to have video
    augmented radio? Its an odd mix of worlds but I'm trying to keep
    away from proprietary systems.  Finding a way to utilise Riv
    alongside our audio output would be ideal.

    Regards,

    Wayne
