Wait, I wasn't talking about the filler. I agree that the filler just needs to be long enough. We don't care if it's too long, it can be interrupted (more or less abruptly). I was talking about the ending jingle, which is played only once. Is it not what the problem was about in the first place? If the jingle arrives too late, after that we switch to another show, we'll never hear it. If this wasn't the problem, because you already planned this by computing the duration of the show, then let's forget about this misunderstanding. > Before trying Liquidsoap, I had tried Campcaster.

Wow, I didn't suspect you tried all those before trying liquidsoap! It's really interesting. I truly welcome applications like airtime which will probably be better than raw liquidsoap for many people (we certainly don't want frustrated people accumulating on this list) but I'm also glad that many of you need more flexibility. > While waiting for a reply, I tried setting it to false.
