Hi, Here is an easy hack on the top of my head: when you don't have a file to return, have your script simply not return anything (do something like a sleep for a minute). Then the playlist won't be tried again for 20 seconds (and this duration can be configured with the timeout parameter). I know that this is quite nasty, but I can't think of a simpler solution right now.
I think that the clean way to go would be to use a queue, and push the requests in through telnet when you have some. Cheers, Sam.
