Hello All!
I'm new to liquidsoap, installed for the first time last night have been
playing around with it for a few hours. I'm working on a project that
will require quite a bit of customization, so I'll post a quick overview
of what it is I'm wanting to accomplish in hopes that someone can steer
me in the right direction:
I'll be running a 24/7 talk station, which will have commercials
throughout. Generally, the shows will be anywhere from 1-3 hours in
length, and be interrupted for commercials roughly every 15 minutes. A
show may be live, or pre-recorded. I have an Icecast2 server setup with
multiple mountpoints each password-protected so that show hosts can
stream to the mount. Liquidsoap would then pick up the appropriate
mount based on a schedule, apply some processing, and stream it to a
second Icecast2 server that would be public-facing.
If this was a static setup, I could easily tell it to go to one
mountpoint from 1h-2h, to the second from 2h-3h, etc, and interrupt
every 15 minutes for a playlist. But the shows will change, and in will
change in length (two one-hour shows might be replaced with one two-hour
show, so I can't have it switching mountpoints on the host).
Ideally, I would like to have liquidsoap reference an external script
that would tell it which mountpoint to attach to, or which local file to
play (as the case may be), and I'd like to have it refresh this every 60
seconds. Something like this (pseudo-code):
source = switch([ { 0s }, get_process_output("external_script") ])
It would call "external_script" every 60 seconds, which would return
either "/path/to/file.mp3" or "http://host:8000/mount"; (or perhaps a
playlist of local mp3 files totaling 60 seconds in length).
"external_script" would reference a local database to find out what is
to be played next. "external_script" has not been written yet, so I can
make it do whatever needs to be done.
Any direction would be appreciated!
