Romain (aka Toots?),
Thanks for the support !
And for the code :)
Ok so if I do this, how are jingles handled? Because we still want to use
jingles.
Can the dynamic request still use all my fallback stuff? Basically s is the
Playlist ?
What about Meta Data? What about Live? What about Fallbacks? What will removing
the playlist do for our jingle transitions? Will there be any prebuffering like
with playlist.safe?
Here's our script, can you tell me how I can keep it pretty much exactly the
same, except without playlist functionality?
set("log.file.path", "nfm.log")
set("server.telnet",true)
def transition(j,a,b)
add(normalize=false,
[ fade.initial(b),
sequence(merge=true,
[blank(duration=1.),j,fallback([])]),
fade.final(a) ])
end
live = input.http(id="live", buffer=10.,
autostart=false, "http://localhost:8000/live";)
live = insert_metadata(id="livemeta",clear_metadata(live))
live = strip_blank(length=10.,live)
# Playlist
playlist = mksafe(playlist(mode="normal", reload=100, reload_mode="seconds",
"/home/nocturnal/playlists/main.pls"))
playlist = rewrite_metadata(
[("artist",("[Nocturnal.FM Main] "^"$(artist)")),
("title",("$(title) "^"[The best trance &
progressive] "^"$(album) ")),
("album","")],playlist)
# Transitions & Jingle
jingle = normalize( single
("/home/nocturnal/tunes/JINGLE/NFM-Jingle-20090904.mp3") )
# Fallbacks
radio = fallback(track_sensitive = false, [request.queue(id="request"),
playlist, blank()])
# Transitions
def fade(jingles,s)
fade_in = 12.
fade_out = 10.
start_next = 3.
def fader(from,to)
from = fade.out(duration=fade_out,from)
to = fade.in(duration=fade_in,to)
add(normalize=false,
[ to,
sequence([ jingles, fallback([]) ]),
from ])
end
cross(duration=start_next,fader,s)
end
radio = fade(jingle,radio)
# Outputs

No problem, you're much welcome ! However, please try to use the mail adress
dedicated to user's support, which is: [email protected]
About your issue, my guess is that your needs will not fit the playlist design.
The playlist in liquidsoap is really designed to be something flexible, where
you put a bunch of songs to be played.
If you need a more precise control over what you play, the best would be to
have liquidsoap call an external script. Such a source can be created using
the request.dynamic operator.
Using this operator, each time liquidsoap needs to queue a new song, it will
call any script that you provide it and use the returned value. That way, you
can work out all your constraints outside of liquidsoap, using your prefered
language etc.. All you need to do it to code a script that returns the new
song to queue.
A usage example would be:
# Request function
def request () =
request.create(audio=true,
list.hd(get_process_lines("/path/to/script"))
end
# The dynamic source:
s = request.dynamic(request)
The first part of the code is a function that calls the script
"/path/to/script" and creates a new request using the the first line of its
output.
The second part is a source that calls the function "request" in order to get
its new songs.
Please don't hesitate to ask for more details if you need !
