It's not that simple Nicholas to use it with a switch, due to the type of
an interactive string technically being a function.
Here's how to do it:
------
use_playlist = ref false
server.register(namespace="vars", "use_playlist", fun (s) -> begin
use_playlist := (s == "true") string_of(!use_playlist) end)
src = switch([
({ !use_playlist }, playlist_source),
({ true }, normal_source)
])
-----
When connecting to the server via telnet or over socket, sending
"vars.use_playlist true" will work.
The ! is a dereference, not a "not". :)
uno: this should solve your problem, and you can use transitions and
track_sensitive=true settings on the switch to improve the listening
experience. (those are available to be read in the docs)
