hi neil, at multicult.fm we use a directory structure with hourly slots where productions are dropped (e.g. via ftp). an external script looks whether there's something in the current folder. everything in the folder is played in alphabetical/numerical order, when there's nothing left we fall back to rotation:
def next_track() request.create( list.hd( get_process_lines( "path-to-script"))) end source = request.dynamic( next_track) if you need a finer grain of control when something needs to be played, you might use telnet in order to squeeze something into your running program. best regards peter On 07/09/12 14:36, Neil Davidson wrote: > Hi all, > > Firstly, congratulations on the 1.0.1 release - it's running great here on > Culture Lab Radio in Newcastle :) > > I have a general problem which I'm hoping to get some suggestions about.
