I was wondering what the GUI aspect was, and was a little interested in it since it was a 'hidden' surprise (IE I didn't read far enough into the project for that part) and I am looking for a more 'advanced' way to set up my streams.Hi and welcome,For openGL and lablgl, it's barely used: only for a graphic version of the vumeter() operator. It's safe to disable it, you aren't missing much. Sorry if I disappoint you: there is truly little graphic interface to liquidsoap, you have to deal with the scripts. There are projects of graphic composition of scripts, but nothing finished. There are however two graphic interfaces for controlling a running liquidsoap: the very partial and getting-old liGuidsoap, and its successor, soapbox, more polished and recent, but also more specialized. Anyway, these are another story, you probably won't use them much. For samplerate, it's safe to not care. Basically, if you have a working liq, it's fine. Samplerate can give better resampling but my ears don't know the difference, only the spectral analysis would show it, and the CPU would heat more.
MPD connecting into an ice is actually pretty easy and the project site has decent documentation. The problem is, it can only stream in vorbis (not that I have a problem with that, but it isn't as universal as I would like it, and seeing Liquidsoap can do what I want (in theory, it is up to me to get it working).On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 5:27 PM, Seann Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Now that I have a working LiquidSoap server compiled (At least I --Think-- it works, I haven't run it yet) I am looking at a few options to do with it. Reading the documents I see a LOT of possibility of the system and would like to exploit that to my fullest advantage after getting my information structured.Yes, it's easy to get lost in the possibilities. Make sure to try one of the simple examples (e.g. from the quickstart) to get a feel of it, and progressively add the wanted features.I am wondering if I can do MPD --> LiquidSoap --> Icecast --> clients --or-- MPD --> LiquidSoap --> Icecast / ^ \ Live Playlists ShoutcastFirst, let me say that there is a basic MPD emulation in liq. There should be a way to connect directly MP clients to liq acting as the server. Sam may be able to tell us more about that. But that's not necessarily what you want. You want to control an MPD and pipe the resulting stream in liq.With the MPD aspect, since it is already doing streams (basic, but has great playlist control) I am also thinking of: MPD --> Icecast --> LiquidSoap --> New Icecast mountI didn't know MPD could stream to icecast :) Then you can relay the stream to liquidsoap using an input.http(URL), or you can directly have MPD stream to liquidsoap, which can act as an icecast server: this is the input.harbor() thing, you can learn about it in the doc.
I have been slowly trolling through the docs so I am sure I will find what I am after in there as well. I was after something that would solve a problem of managing multiple separate streams in one central interface, regardless if it is a CLI or a GUI.
There might be a possibility to use jack or pulseaudio to connect MPD and liquidsoap. It might be lighter, imply less latency, but it would probably also be less stable. Hope that helps,
