For playing the news at full and half hour, I would like to
I came up with the following code, because the commented-out For some reason, I can’t get it to work. I hear a very brief loudness drop, but no news play. The news file itself is requested, autocued, ready and all. # News
thread.when(predicate.activates({ 59m45s or 29m45s }), fun() -> playlist_nachrichten.reload())
#radio = smooth_add(duration=2., p=0., normal=radio, special=switch(id="news_switch", [(predicate.once({ 0m0s or 30m0s }), sequence([blank(duration=2.), playlist_nachrichten]))]))
radio = switch(
id="news_switch",
track_sensitive=false,
[
(predicate.activates({ 0m0s or 30m0s }), playlist_nachrichten),
({ true }, radio)
]
)If I use Anyone out there who can tell me what I’m doing wrong, and how I can achieve the desired result? Here is a typical part of the log (I’m using AzuraCast): |

Here, it's a job for radio = fallback(track_sensitive=false,[
switch(id="news_switch",[(predicate.activates({ 0m0s or 30m0s }), playlist_nachrichten)]),
radio
])Should work with radio = fallback(track_sensitive=false,[
switch(id="news_switch",[(predicate.once({ 0m0s or 30m0s }), playlist_nachrichten)]),
radio
]) |

So apart from the fact that with thread.when(predicate.activates({ 0m03s or 30m03 }), fun() -> source.skip(radio))
radio = fallback(track_sensitive=false,[
switch(id="news_switch",[(predicate.once({ 0m0s or 30m0s }), playlist_nachrichten)]),
radio
])While our fallback to news plays - we skip radio source (old one, before fallback) and after Don't know how "orthodox" this is but it seems to work nicely) |

I'm not sure it will work this way. But worth a try. |

Phew. After searching and finding the LS docs not helpful at all, I found a hint in a 2013 AirTime forum post, and after only a few hours of frustrating experiments came up with this: Seems to work well. AzuraCast users: Third input box in Edit Liquidsoap Config. ;-) And do your |

What exactly does the "playlist_nachrichten" look like (settings)? One or two playlists? Is "news" correct in the script? Should it perhaps be "playlist_nachrichten"? Thanks for the answer. |

You can name your playlist whatever you want. Here is minimal reproduction script to make it clear: radio = playlist("/path/to/music")
playlist_news = playlist("/path/to/playlist_file.m3u")
# Reload the news playlist shortly before playing,
# to get latest news and not old queued ones
thread.when(predicate.activates({ 59m45s or 29m45s }), fun() -> playlist_news.reload())
# Make a News source that is only active at certain times
# Hourly news at 06:00-18:00 and 20:00, 16s past the hour
# to leave room for the TOTH time & station announcement
news = fallback(
track_sensitive=false,
[
switch(
id="news_switch",
[(predicate.once({ (6h00-18h00 or 20h00) and 0m16s }), playlist_news)]
)
]
)
# When news source becomes active:
# Skip current track, play news, continue with new track
radio = fallback.skip(news, fallback=radio)
radio =mksafe(radio)
output(radio) |
