Earlier in the year I asked about Cascading Playlists: 
http://sourceforge.net/p/savonet/mailman/message/32170779/ and David suggested 
I look into pushing the files to a queue. 

I’m still having problems with these latest playlists not playing properly, 
sometimes they don’t start at all oddly and the fallback kicks in (maybe 
Liquidsoap sees them as ‘played’ even though I have reload=3200 set?) or 
sometimes halfway through a show if it was interupted before. It’s not good.

I looked at it then and ran away screaming because the examples are so 
complex/involved, but have more time now. Is there a simple - and I mean REALLY 
simple - example or tutorial of creating a dynamic playlist, especially if 
adding a file/playlist entry to the queue at a preset time? And get the newest 
file in the directory? 

All the examples I see are about people requesting tracks, or using 
telnet/scripts to queue a track - not really what I want to do, I’d like to 
keep it all in the .liq file if possible.

Here’s what I want to do:

1. Take the latest (i.e. file creation date) file in a directory
2. At a certain time add the show to the queue to be played - so it’s 10pm 
Wednesday, play this latest file
3. Fall back to music or other shows if the show is too short for the slot. 
Guessing my existing switch would do this.


Re: 1 - I currently do this via Python creating a PLS file, so I might be able 
to hack this in Python but can Liquidsoap do this with list.sort in any way? I 
suspect not…I guess I could hack up a script that returns the latest file 
URL... or I guess I could somehow tell it what the latest show was? Automatic 
would be better, since it would be days beforehand and I’m guessing the queue 
is lost if a restart happens.

Thanks
