the playlist. I'm working on some online radio and I have the following
liquidsoap script:

lomitkach
> filename = list.nth(list.rev(filename),0) # vezmeme meno suboru
> filename = list.nth(string.split(separator="\.",filename),0) # odpojime
koncovku .mp3

> command = "python3.3 feedback.py " ^ filename
> system(command)
> end

> #!/usr/bin/liquidsoap
> # Log dir
> set("log.file.path","/tmp/basic-radio.log")
>
> #tidy up before playing playlist
> playlist_file = "playlist.m3u"
> system("python3.3 feedback.py -init")
>
> # Music
> myplaylist =
playlist(mode="normal",playlist_file,reload_mode="rounds",reload=1)
>
> myplaylist = on_track(apply_metadata,myplaylist)
>
> # Stream it out
> output.icecast(%mp3, host = "localhost", port = 8080, password =
"baldur", mount = "stream", myplaylist, fallible=true)

> As you can see - every time a new track starts, liquidsoap calls a python
script - feedback.py, and every round the playlist reloads. I have 5 songs
in the playlist file. This script shifts the playlist file and adds a new
song to it (it will have a complex algorithm to compute which song is next
to add, now it has only random, for testing.
>
> Then I expected, that liquidsoap will reload the playlist as soon as the
round ends and continue playing the next songs. It reloads it, but too soon
and it results in repeated playing of some songs. Then I figured out, that
the playlist is actually reloaded BEFORE the round is finished and it's
written also in the specification.
>
> It would be nice if I could hook on the event of playlist reloading, but
I couldn't find how to do this. Or simply to be sure, that the playlist
will be reloaded after the round is ended. Now I hacked it with adding
"fail tracks" which aren't songs but just silence and appended it to the
beginning and the end of the playlist, but I think, it's quite dirty and I
don't believe, that it is reliable, because liquidsoap can reload the
playlist at any time, not just few songs before the end of the playlist if
I understand good.
>
> I thought also about using playlist.once and killing liquidsoap after
every round and harboring the stream to another script, but I think it is
quite dirty too. Can you, please, suggest me, how to solve this problem in
some cleaner way or implement some methods that will make it easier in the
future if you are developer?
The first though that comes to my mind is that you are perhaps using
playlist() in a way this is not intended to be..
Have you though about using request.dynamic? This operator gives you full
control over which song is being played next and the next track callback
can be written in any language of your choice, which also makes is more
convenient..
Good luck!
