For others,
Even easier than telnetting a stream.skip on the way out is to add
"track_sensitive=false" to the switch. Then the whole thing simply becomes:
myplaylist = playlist("/home/user/playlist.m3u")
remote_stream = input.http("http://remote_stream";)
output.dummy(fallible=true, remote_stream)
myplaylist = switch(track_sensitive=false,[ ({13h00-14h00},remote_stream),
({true}, myplaylist) ] )
This will rather unceremoniously cut whatever song is playing at 13h00, but
it's better than banging your head against a wall for two days. :)
