Comment (by mrpingouin):
Hi (and thanks for the motivating compliments :p)
First let me check that I understood well the use case. You want to
broadcast a stream, and next to it another stream which is a delayed
version of the first one. For example you have a stream of live comments
about an event, to which people are expected to connect when the even
start of just a little while after. And you want that the people who are
30 seconds late do not miss the first thirty seconds. That sounds
sensible, and we can certainly make an operator for that. In the meantime,
what about a workaround? You could setup a relay (e.g.
output.icecast(..input.http(..)) in liquidsoap) that has a big buffer so
it creates the wanted delay. It's certainly not so precise, but does that
hurt?
About the proposed patch: I would not use a giant frame for accumulating
smaller ones. The buffer generators are made for that, should be more
convenient. Better, we should be able to re-use the Generated source used
as a base class for input.http() and related sources. The only
disadvantage is that buffer generators (used by the Generated source) may
not have full support for metadata, but since that's already a TODO it'd
be nice to address it by the way.
