Hi and thanks for your pointer. I have looked at this before but am, obviously, not doing something right as I can't get it to work. I'll try again and post a sample of the errors I'm getting. |

Hi, I've attached the script I ran based on the provided link but am getting the following error; any pointers would be greatly appreciated...even to where I can see what the appropriate arguments are for playlist: Thanks |

The s = playlist(cue, loop=false)
filename = ref("/tmp/test/out/default.mp3")
def handle_metadata(m)
filename := "/tmp/test/out/#{m['artist']} - #{m['title']}.mp3"
true
end
s = clock(sync="none", s)
enc = %mp3
output.file(enc, filename, s, reopen_on_metadata=handle_metadata, on_stop=shutdown)

Again, thank you very much for this info. I have trouble reading PDF files so the book wasn't immediately accessible to me but, I seem to have managed to convert it into a more accessible format for myself. I'll study chapter 5 and, hopefully, will get some more pointers. Thanks again for your help. |

The Book used to be available in an e-book edition, too. Maybe that’s better accessible? I have it on my e-reader even. Note that |

Thanks very much...yes, this epub is much better; I now have a lot more reading to do! Thanks again and keep your fingers crossed that I understand what I'm reading! |

Will do. Be warned these might not always be current. Hopefully one day @smimram (or another dev) will find a way to auto-update it using CI. :-) |

Hi, again I have now had time to read up on the programming language and understand its principles, I hope, based on my previous programming experience! However, before going down the route of writing my own functions to achieve what I need, I would just like to make sure that I'm not re-inventing the wheel, please, by asking the following.
I really do appreciate all the pointers I've been given so far but, as you can tell, I'm still struggling! Thanks again for your patience and help. Richard Bartholomew |

It would probably not help in your case because the main purpose of autocue is to find the best points for seamless transitions between music tracks and to normalize the audible volume.
As mentioned above, It would be great if you could show me the log for the script that follows. cue_file="path/to/cue/file"
s = playlist(cue_file, loop=false)
s.on_metadata(print)
source.drop(s) |

I've attached the log file from your script example...I did add an output statement, though (which did nothing!). It looks as though the format of my cue file is wrong so I will need to look at that but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Richard Bartholomew |

The cue sheet is attached; however, please note that it is just intended to be a proof of concept file as it only holds entries for the first two tracks in the mp3 file. |

As my attachments don't seem to be visible, I've pasted in the results of what I've done below. Other than changing the file path and start time of tracks, I think I'm doing the same as you but, unfortunately, I'm not seeing the same output in my log file...I don't see any of the track information. I notice that you're using V2.2.5 whereas I'm using 2.2.5+dev - should that make a difference and, if so, how do I upgrade to the non-dev version, please, as when I issue an 'opam upgrade', I still get the same version!

This should not make a significant difference, as I believe you are just getting the latest version from opam, but due to some build quirks, the version is marked as dev. Even the ubuntu:24.04 packages are marked as dev. By the way, there are some other ways to install the liquidsoap:

I've never used containers before and, so, don't know how to use docker! I'll take a look at those links you sent for alternative ways to install. Yes, I saw that my log was missing details but what I previously posted was the end of the log - nothing else came after that final line! Here are the results of the two commands:

I recreated your setup using a fresh ubuntu:22.04 vm, and I'm sure there are extra lines in the log.
And here's my log: Log |

Hi, Firstly, I'd like to thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to help me troubleshoot this issue...it really is much appreciated. I followed the steps you outlined for upgrading the software and, with the exception of the below, everything was indicated as being at the latest level. The one area which wasn't was: After the upgrade, I updated my testautodj script to point to the new location, ie
and then started the service up with

Hi, Well, I'm feeling a lot happier now since, thanks to your patient help Vito, I am starting to get to where I want to be! After you pointed out the journal log, I did see the track information you had previously mentioned and, based on this, I have now been able to output my file to my icecast stream with the song titles displaying. However, I do have a couple of subsequent questions I'd appreciate any insight into, please.

s = playlist(cue_file, loop=false, mode="normal") Or, again, is there a better way to do this? Thanks, once again, for any help. Richard Bartholomew |

You can override the fade values for the playlist using the s = playlist(cue_file, loop=false, mode="normal")
def disable_fades(metadata)
fades = [
("liq_fade_in", "0"),
("liq_fade_out", "0")
]
list.append(fades, metadata)
end
s = metadata.map(disable_fades, s) |

Hi, Thanks for the pointer to metadata.map; however, can you explain, please, why this is a better way to do what I need? Other than looking neater, is there a performance reason for doing it this way? Thanks |

Hi,
I have pre-recorded shows that I want to stream to our radio station and output the track titles for the music. Cue sheets seem to be the way to do this but I am having trouble finding suitable references to their use.
I have cue sheets generated by our broadcasting software StationPlaylist in the following format:
FILE "show0515-1900.mp3" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To"
PERFORMER "Julie London"
REM ALBUM "The Ultimate Collection - 135 Original Recordings"
INDEX 01 01:02:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Time Out Of Mind"
PERFORMER "Grover Washington Jr."
REM ALBUM "Jazz Moods: Cool"
INDEX 01 04:05:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "Ain't Misbehavin"
PERFORMER "Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie"
REM ALBUM "Ella And Basie"
INDEX 01 10:08:00
I have the following questions, please.
output.icecast(%mp3(bitrate=192), name="autodj Test", host="listen.phoenixradio1208.com", password="XXX", port=8030, mount="testautodj", radio)
with radio having been created via switch statements for scheduling.
Everything I've tried so far generates parsing errors which is why an example would be great as I'm getting nowhere
Thanks
Richard Bartholomew
