Possibility to do webstreams (relay) ....

[tgd1973]

Hello ! When there is nothing programmed, then in the calendar everything is empty at a certain date, I would like to have the possibility to start a link , automatically to another webradio (webstreams) as protection against silence.
Possible?
How is it done?

This would have to be done with a custom Liquidsoap configuration at this point. But you could also setup an an automatic playlist that contains a webstream equal to the content of the show and then program everything you want to play above it. It will play what you manually schedule and if you forget to schedule it will play the webstream. Not an ideal setup but a possible way of doing this.

Can you tell me which file to modify to make the change with liquidap?

This is related to issue #229 (no documented easy way to customize liquidsoap files) and so while you can edit the liquidsoap file that airtime-liquidsoap links to it wouldn't necessarily be easy to upgrade. As far as the specifics of how to get liquidsoap to work like this you'd need to check out the liquidsoap documentation here's a link - http://liquidsoap.info/doc-dev/blank.html - I haven't personally spent a lot of time playing with liquidsoap.

Can tell me someone where the file ls_script.liq is? i hava a debian install ...
here there is no more ...
/usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_scripts/ls_script.liq

http://libretime.org/manual/promoting-your-station/

I do not understand why there must be someone who likes to make all these changes but without writing a DOC ...

In git the path is this but I do not understand where it ends up in the debian installation ...
libretime/python_apps/pypo/liquidsoap/ls_script.liq

Thanks.

Nobody knows how to answer where these file are? ls_script.liq on debian ?

Sorry for the delay, it is in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/airtime_playout-1.0-py2.7.egg/liquidsoap/ls_script.liq after the installation.
If you override it and the install a new version of the package it will overwrite it, so you may want to simply modify and reinstall the python package.

For the moment , I've been able to edit the
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/airtime_playout-1.0-py2.7.egg/liquidsoap/ls_script.liq
file so that I can receive an external stream when offline so I do not have to always have something in the calendar ... in this way must only have to program the events ... reception on the external streaming when there is nothing in the program, in this way also doing anti silence.
The changes to be made directly inside in the file ls_script.liq from the line 179 ... are these:
# original code commented out
#default = amplify(id="silence_src", 0.00001, noise())
# Play External Stream when is OffLine:
default = input.http(id="web_stream", autostart=true, buffer=0.5, max=20., "http://192.168.0.18:8110/autodj.mp3")
ref_off_air_meta = ref off_air_meta
if !ref_off_air_meta == "" then
ref_off_air_meta := "LibreTime - offline"
end
#default = rewrite_metadata([("title", !ref_off_air_meta)], default)
ignore(output.dummy(default, fallible=true))

However, it remains a small fade in/out problem when audio sources change ...

It would be much more convenient if there was the possibility to insert the address of the external streaming in a menu of the type as shown in the post #229 :

Well you are more than welcome to work on a PR for this functionality. It's just a matter of playing around with the Zend MVC templates and integrating the work you did above. Thanks for sharing your solution.
