Thanks Nick,
The problem is that LS won‘t start any longer when I add the cod to the liq
file.
Even if I only add
IsStarted = false
it doesn‘t work anymore.
What I have now is (I took out the = you‘d put after def dostartup() becuase I
thought it‘s a typo?):
#!/usr/bin/liquidsoap
# set the path and permissions for the logfile
set("log.file.path","/var/log/liquidsoap/phono.log")
set("log.file.perms",777)
#set("log.unix_timestamps",true)
#input from soundcard
phono = input.alsa(bufferize=true,fallible=false,device="hw:0")
isStarted = false
def dostartup()
# We have started playing, so set the flag
isStarted := true
end
def handler()
if !isStarted then
system("/etc/liquidsoap/shut_on_blank.sh")
end
end
source = on_blank(
max_blank=60.0,
on_noise=dostartup,
handler,
phono
)
#stream it to local icecast, default port and password
output.icecast(%ogg(%flac(samplerate=44100,channels=2,compression=5,bits_per_sample=16)),
mount="/phono", name="Phono", format="audio/ogg", description="Turntable
FLAC", url="http://192.168.178.200”";, genre = "Misc", source)

Martin
