I have a relatively simple setup - Thanks DreamStreamKicker for the silence
advice:
silence = blank(duration=1.)
stream = fallback([ request.queue(), silence])
output.icecast(%mp3(stereo=false),
url="http://foobar.com";, host="192.168.1.24", port = 8000,
user = "me", password = "hackme", mount = "/test",
stream)
This is not a continuous music stream, but a stream of a scanner that
generates .mp3 files when there are transmissions.
I've setup a socket so I can push mp3 files into the queue externally, and
at all other times the stream is silent by design. But now I'm challenged
with (and keep hitting dead ends) trying to figure out how to deal with the
metadata. I'm pretty confident that "StreamTitle" can be streamed in the
mp3 stream itself towards Icecast and doesn't need to use external HTTP.
When I'm streaming silence I want "StreamTitle" embedded in the mp3 stream
to be defined as "Scanning"
However, each time I do a queue.push <path/to/file> I want to be able to
define the StreamTitle either manually via the socket, or by embedding the
text into the mp3 and if necessary re-writing it in liquidsoap. Does
anyone have a firm grasp on metadata that can point me in the right
direction? Everything I've tried either permanently sets the title (so it
keeps saying the name during silent periods) or I get stuck in a loop
setting it to "Scanning" and never override it on actual audio tracks.
I've also not figured out how to get a value in the title to event appear.
I'm testing by pointing liquidsoap at a test icecast2 server and then
connecting to it with VLC but the end game is to point it at
broadcastify.com's streaming.
Thanks!
