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:
[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!
