Hello, I have a problem with Liquidsoap. Please understand me right: Liquidsoap is absolutely outstanding and incredibly powerful. There are only a few things, I need help with.
I am using playlists to handle the music. These playlists are being shuffled and played via the mode "randomize". Unfortunately I and my radiopartners have the feeling, that the artists from the playlists are still concentrated. It is a bit hard to describe what I mean. May be, this way works better: The original playlist may look like this (the characters stand for artists): a a a a a b b b c c c c c c d d d d d e e e e e f f f f f f f f f f f f f g g g g g g g g h h h i i i i i i i .... after randomization the files are played somewhat like this a d d b a a c a b b c a c d c e e c c d d e f e e f f g h f g f f f i g f f i f i f f f g i g g g g h h i i i .... As you see, the list is randomized but not enough. The artists are still concentrated, and quite often the same artist comes more than once. I am not absolutely sure, if this behaviour is described correctly, but it seems as if it is. My first attempt to improve the randomization was to take a look into the utils.liq. But I haven't found the mode "randomize" (only random, which selects a single file out of the list without shuffling the list itself). So my question: Is there a way to improve the randomization for the playlist-mode "randomize"? BTW: Is it correct, that the reload-mode "round" in the playlist-function means, that the playlist is loaded again, after the whole list has been played?
