Hi folks,
Hoping for pointers…I’ve search for an answer to this one too and cannot figure
out what I am doing wrong.
The problem is that if I set "track_sensitive=false” in fallback, it always
uses the fallback file (and never the primary source). Before I share my
script, do I have do do a “playlist.safe” or a “mksafe” with the main source to
get around this? This in the quickstart docs
(http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/quick_start.html
<http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/quick_start.html>) makes me think
that’s not supposed to be the case:
When an output complains about its source, you have to turn it into an
infallible one. Depending on the situation, many solutions are available. The
function mksafe takes a source and returns an infallible source, streaming
silence when the input stream becomes unavailable. In a radio-like stream,
silence is not the prefered solution, and you will probably prefer to fallback
on an infallible “security” source:
fallback([your_fallible_source_here, single("failure.ogg")])
Finally, if you do not care about failures, you can pass the parameter
fallible=true to most outputs.
Right now I am setting I am leaving off the “track_sensitive=false” and having
fallible=true in the output to have things work. All of my files are local (I
am loading directories). This is the fallback call right now:
security = single("~/Dropbox/70sRockXYZ/Media/normal/Van Halen/Van Halen/02
Eruption.mp3")
s = fallback([s,security])
Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong. From the docs I thought I
could just do the single() and then should be able to do this:
s = fallback(track_sensitive=false,[s,security])
But then all I hear is Van Halen’s Eruption over and over…and it’s a great
song…but… :-)
I’m glad to provide more of the script if it helps.
My best,
Alan
