    When I execute below, liquidsoap responds with: 
    'The variable live defined here is not used anywhere'
    That is because the live input is not active.
    source=fallback(track_sensitive=false,
      [live,radio,jingle_fail])

    def append_title(m)=
      title=m["title"]
      [("title","#{title} - LIVE-ON-AIR")]
    end

    live=map_metadata(append_title,live)

    How can I add metadata to the live input when it becomes active?

    "The variable live defined here is not used anywhere'
    That is because the live input is not active."

    This is your clue. you cannot use a varible before defining it. basic programming
    so
    # A live source like  a dj
    live = input.harbor("live",host="http://somewhere",port=8080,password="hackme",mount="live")

    # A live source like  a web stream
    #live = input.http(http://www.remotehost.com:8000)

    # you will also want to send buffers and other debug to a dummy to prevent lots of info in your logs
    ignore(output.dummy(live, fallible=true))

    Please define the other variables like radio etc unless you will still have complaint
