"cannot unify two nested clocks" error

[gammaw]

Hi,

I have a Liquidsoap configuration which throws the error in the title.

The background is this: AzuraCast/AzuraCast#1513

In theory I know a fix (which would be to define and use the live source at later point in the configuration) but it cannot be done given how the configuration is generated. Other ideas given the constraints? I thought of somehow removing the live source and redefining and adding it to the final source.

Thanks!

Did some reading, removed crossfade (somewhere earlier in the config) and now Liquidsoap starts. Fading now doesn't work as expected though, maybe I'm using an older release. I saw that you were fixing some bugs related to transitions. Btw, do you have fresh documentation (or release > 1.3.6? I had an issue the other day which drove me crazy thinking that ! stands for logical NOT and didn't find it in the documentation (in fact, ! stands for dereferencing).

Hi,

We're working on a serious rewrite of the documentation with @smimram.

As for your original issue, the problem most likely comes from having two sources that have different clocks, for instance input.alsa and input.gstreamer and trying to unify them, which mean having them under the sam operator, for instance a switch.

Sharing mode code example would make this easier to explain.

We cannot do much more without code extracts and clocks are not documented in details in the book. Closing, feel free to reopen if needed.
