How to play a song once at a specific time? #3762
-
|
I have this basically: workweek_end = single("E:\Music\Music Archive\Vangelis - Blade Runner OST 25th Anniversary Edition (2007)\CD 1\07 - Blade Runner Blues.mp3") I have figured this out by going through forum posts. Documentation is slim however. There is a cookbook but it explains little in terms of syntax. |

Damn. I was just about to mark this solved as well. At least your crossfade solution worked. Tested it there and the transition was perfect. Shame it will only happen once in a lifetime. |

For now I can see only this solution to work ### Changing `single` to `playlist` with one track.
workweek_end = replaygain(playlist(mode="normal", reload_mode="watch", reload=0, loop=false,"/path/to/weekend_playlist.m3u"))
### Reloading playlist every Friday at 12:00 so its due to play at 17:00
thread.run(every=60., fun()-> begin d={5w12h00m};if (d()) then workweek_end.reload() end end)
### `switch` should be before crossfade so the crossfade is applied on that switch too.
radio = switch(track_sensitive=false,[
(({5w17h00m-5w17h30m}), workweek_end),
({true}, source)
])Regarding the transition at the end of switch. The switch itself will fade out. But there might be no fade in of the main source. |

As an alternative you can try source = replaygain(playlist("E:\\Music\\Playlists\\M3U Playlists\\Ambient.m3u"))
workweek_end = replaygain(playlist("/path/to/weekend_playlist.m3u"))
source = smooth_add(duration=2., p=.2, normal=source, special=switch([(predicate.once({ 5w17h00m }),workweek_end)]))
radio = mksafe(crossfade(source,fade_out=4.0,fade_in=4.0,duration=15.0))The argument duration controls the |

Maybe try this: radio = ...
time_queue = request.queue()
def queue_track(url) =
time_queue.push(request.create(url))
end
thread.when(predicate.activates({5w17h00m}), {list.iter(queue_track, ["path1", "path2"])})
radio = fallback(track_sensitive=false, [time_queue, radio])
radio = crossfade(...) |

Went with this solution as adding single tracks is just a one liner. Can confirm this works if you want to play a single track once at a specific time. Thanks @MaPePeR. Thanks as well @gAlleb. Both of you were very helpful. |

Hi @TomKranenburg, The desired behavior is described in the book on page 104. m = playlist("/tmp/test/music")
j = single("/tmp/test/j.mp3")
s = switch([
(predicate.once({4w20h and 14m-19m}), j),
({true}, m)
])
s.on_metadata(print)
output.dummy(s, fallible=true)For me, it works as expected and produces the following log LogNote that the |

So is there a way to play a song at a specific time? |

You don't like this solution #3762 (reply in thread) ? It's simple and working. There is this #3762 (reply in thread) also. It uses predicate activation and fallback. |

Haven't tried it yet but I will. Thanks again for everything. I'm just trying to hammer out if this is intended behaviour and not a bug really. It's supposed to work in this manner? |
