without messing around with liquidsoap or icecast, this is not possible yet.

but this should be implemented in v2.5.

practically this would mean for v2.5 (if this feature is available then),
to create a 24-hour-show per day and fill it with a recurring shuffle-playlist.

I'm with Nolan that's EXACTLY what I need!

Ah! so if I modify this, will it show what's playing in airtime, or no? 

I this currently a working solution to a random fallback -- http://myassradio.com/software/airtime/5-fallback-folder.pdf -- ?

Or is there a better way?

Maybe I'm better off using an external solution, like a player and butt. Seems like every LS scripting thread has problems. I would have thought they would have solved this in airtime. Looks like a popular request to have a fallback player.

I'm with Nolan too. 

Start with the simplest
start with Sergei S. reply at this

http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/11379/fallback-and-autodj/p1
but use the  fixed below to find out where to place your fallback if airtime is greater than 2:3:0

fixed here

http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/15098/broken-playing-random-songs-on-silence

This works also
https://wiki.sourcefabric.org/display/CC/Playing+Random+Songs+on+Silence

and more complex examples are 

https://wiki.sourcefabric.org/display/CC/Playing+Jingles+or+Ads+on+15+Minute+Intervals


or this

https://wiki.sourcefabric.org/display/LS/UserScripts

and if you read here http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/documentation.html

 and can sort out the examples you could venture to wherever you chose.


I however found that this does not occasionally stop liquidsoap from just going bunkers and stop.

I have install 1.11 and my system stayed for 2 days no problem,I then put a web stream and after 4 hours liquidsoap quits.

I removed all webstreams and implement playlists in the calendar and liquidsoap gave me 3 days this time.

So IMHO,I think there is either a missing code that when liquidsoap has either a bad stream or file it quits.

I have one remote server 64bit with no fail2ban script  2gb Ram this have ran 1 month no problem
I have another 32bit with fail2ban 1gb of ram and this quits as describe above.

I am still trying to narrow down the problem but I will wait on 2.4
I check out the demo and like it.

I would suggest if you can upgrade to liquidsoap 1.11 everyone you will get up to a full day of service

 

the only problem with the fallback solutions posted in here is the potential legal problems... in most countries you have to have a log of what you were broadcasting (something airtime fills wonderfully) but doing the fallback with those ls_script modifications won't show in the logs, wich could be problematic if the regulation agency decides to show up asking for those logs... if you really need automation then you should plan ahead and put some 24 hour smart block full of music, or wait/ask for the devs to implement an autodj feature in the airtime framework... correct me if i'm wrong in this

Are you Kidding me?

Now I do not know if I should answer a question  that arrives at a conclusion before even exploring a possibility but lets not leave any stone unturned so here are simple answer and then complex answer.

Easy Solution

If you print the any of the  /var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log

When you use a fallback solution here it gives you even a better log than what the airtime logs will show.
It tells which songs played,the time it played and a whole heap more information than you see  with airtime logs there (schedule1.) etc.

Now to be clear airtime has its own play-out history tab which can be customized.
so can this fallback be customized and certainly it can.

Harder solution

Let me give you a idea of the code and even if you want it in json you can.

meta = ref []

# s = some source

# Update current metadata
# converted in UTF8
def update_meta(m) =
  m = metadata.export(m)
  recode = string.recode(out_enc="UTF-8")
  def f(x) =
    (recode(fst(x)),recode(snd(x)))
  end
  meta := list.map(f,m)
end

# Apply update_metadata
# every time we see a new
# metadata
s = on_metadata(update_meta,s)

# Return the json content
# of meta
def get_meta(~protocol,~data,~headers,uri) =
  m = !meta
  http_response(
    protocol=protocol,
    code=200,
    headers=[("Content-Type","application/json; charset=utf-8")],
    data=json_of(m)
  )
end

# Register get_meta at port 700
harbor.http.register(port=7000,method="GET","/getmeta",get_meta)


Now all you have to do in your browser is go to

http://yourIP:7000/getmeta

and you see it,
You can include songname,album,composer you name it.

For me I write (submit ) the data to html and then pull it down via php.

Oh by the way go here

http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/harbor_http.html

You will see many other alternatives.

So here is my thoughts

You should not hide any information through your logs,If I were an auditor,I would want the logs
Over any customized or other results.

Embrace authority,do not fear it,you will be a happier person no matter what the outcome.

Finally, Ask like a child,fixed like an Adult.
You should never come to conclusion before you start solving a problem,but I guess we
are all built different.

I hate software that does everything for me,Yes I hate them,I want to be able to
Have it my way and that's why my main computer will never again be my main compute
 Nor will Any of the Windows Software.

I want plugins, templates and add-on etc. like xbmc and mythtv.

I want to be thought to fish not given a fish.

Oh So for anyone who think why have two logs etc.

Here is a master piece of software that will extract your information from Icecast.
and gives auto DJ.
