Ah yes, it makes sense but is different from what I'm trying to do. I
have an input stream or playlist that is (effectively) always
available. That gets output out to a different icecast2 server.
Ideally I'd like to temporarily stop the input stream or playlist and
switch to something generated (maybe using the noise() or say()
function) whenever the number of listeners connected to my icecast2
server drops to 0. No sense in wasting bandwidth by staying connected
to an input.http() stream, or in thrashing a disk playing a local
file, when there isn't actually anyone listening to it.
Newer versions of icecast2 provide some nice status data in json
format. My current thought is to use something like
of_json(http.get("http://127.0.0.1:8000/status-json.xsl";)), parse out
the "listeners":1, field, then make a decision in liquidsoap based on
the value of that field. Of course I've oversimplified the
of_json(http.get()) use, it doesn't exactly work like that ...
http.get returns headers and such besides the json data, so that
result would need to be filtered a bit before being sent to of_json().
I haven't quite wrapped my head around parsing the result from the
http.get() yet, but it'll come.
