Playlist for watched folders? - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Guytrance

Hey Guys.

Me and my Q's again

;;)

I need to know if there's a way to schedule a playlist that will read whatever is thrown inside a watched folder.

Im trying to automate my station to the max and a good way of doing that is to open a watched folder for each dj, each dj then have a ftp account to that folder and then whatever he uploads gets into its respective scheduled playlist without me having to drag his show to the playlist. did i missed something or is it not possible?

Thanks for your help.

That's an interesting way to use Airtime. This is not supported yet, but you can actually mimic this behaviour. Several users in these forums have modified their Liquidsoap script to play random files from a folder whenever nothing is scheduled.

Please take a look here:

I see you're aware of that modification based on this post:

This workaround is obviously not as powerful as being able to assign a different playlist to different folder. This is something we will consider for the future.

Howdy, Stranger!
