    Hey everyone, I have a quick question. Is it possible for Campcaster to be a fully automated system? Meaning that if I don't specify a playlist for it to play, it will play something random?

    Thanks!

    We dont have that yet, but you will probably be able to do that in the next
    version.

    Hi Matt,

    It would be a useful safety feature that in the event of a scheduled
    playlist failure, a series of random tracks was played from the storage
    server. We have a wishlist ticket open for a 'smart playlists' feature
    which might accomplish this:

    http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CC-84

    However, if you just want to play a random audio file all the time,
    there are simpler solutions than Campcaster, which is designed for a
    radio station with human presenters or DJs. See the section 'A simple
    radio' in the Liquidsoap documentation at
    http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/quick_start.html

    > Any timeline available?

    At the moment, we are reviewing all feature request and bug tickets in
    advance of the next major version of Campcaster. So I'm afraid there is
    no fixed date for this 'smart playlists' feature yet.

    Cheers!

    Daniel
