Yes, input.harbor follows the same protocol so it should support all
clients. It can also simulate a shoutcast server (maybe not perfectly
but romain has worked hard so that shoutcast clients work as far as we
know) but shoutcast is limited because it doesn't have a notion of
mountpoint.

I was pointing at the fact that switching doesn't need to be based on
time. When you write {0h-12h} it's a function that tells whether it's
between midnight and noon, but any other function works, for example
{test_process(...)} is a function that calls a process and says
whether it returned successfullly or not. Note that {...} is a
shortcut for (fun () -> ...).
Finally forget what I said about "dynamically creating
input.http/harbor". I was wrong about it. What liquidsoap doesn't
support is creating output-like ("active sources") sources, but
input.http/harbor are actually passive. Active sources are outputs,
soundcard inputs and a few other such as strip_blank which has to
actively pull blank when it's stripping. You can forget about all that
for now.
