Hi all!
FIRSTLY:
I have a wonderful Liquidsoap + Icecast2 setup for our streaming station at
wzmrradio.com right now, and I'd like to configure our setup even further.
I've defined the following sources:
# Define all variables for playlists
stationids = playlist(mode="randomize","~/stationids.m3u")
commercials = playlist(mode="randomize","~/commercials.m3u")
news = playlist(mode="randomize","~/news.m3u")
music = playlist(mode="randomize",length=30.00,"~/remix.m3u")
What we want to do is have one random song play from each source in the
following order:
1. stationids
2. music x5
3. stationids
4. commercials
5. stationids
6. music x5
7. stationids
8. news
Once this goes through once, we want to keep looping in that order. How can we
accomplish this with the sources defined as they are now? Yes, we /will/ have
live sources in there as well, but we have a fallback set up to prefer live
sources first before other things.
SECONDLY:
We have a website which utilizes Drupal, and in time, our music database will
be stored inside of it, eliminating the need for playlists. We intend to keep
an internal list of what to play and in what order, as well as integrating user
requests. Our model will be as follows:
- Database containing all tracks with a field specifically for their 'source'
(stationids, commercials, etc, as listed above)
- A 'table' for our next queued songs: this table will have a minimum of five
tracks queued. Any requests will be added to the end of the queue table. Once
a track leaves the queue, its row will be deleted from the table. Once the
queue table has four rows in it, another track will be queued to fill the fifth
requisite row.
What is the best means of submitting tracks from our queue table to Liquidsoap?
Once we have tracks queued properly, we want to show our users the last five
songs that played. We can either make a table for that specifically, or query
Liquidsoap. What would be the most effective way to do that? We will want to
display the artist, album (if it exists), title, and album art for the songs.
Likely, we can retrieve those tags from just a fully qualified path to the mp3
on our server.
THIRDLY:
I've noticed this issue with some of our tracks, and I'm not sure what the
error means:
2011/05/07 14:19:07 [decoder:2] Decoder of "/path/to/track.mp3" produced
non-uniform data: {audio=1;video=0;midi=0} at 543, {audio=2;video=0;midi=0} at
927! (End at 1764). Aside from re-encoding the track, etc, how can we resolve
these problems? I'm mostly curious as to what the error's telling me.
Thank you very much for the help!
