How to extend request resolution timeout?

[gAlleb]

When using autocue (cue_file) in 2.3.x an trying to process very long tracks (>1h) I'm getting

[request:2] Time limit exceeded by 20.64 secs (timeout: 30.00)!

How I can change this timeout? Pretty sure we can extend the request resolution timeout.

P.S. it is a "playlist" operator.

I've created a PR adding a new settings.request.timeout global configuration setting for that: #4196

I have to say, though, that request resolution should be fast by default. If your request resolution is too long, this will cause all sort of complications.

If the resolution duration is because of some processing such as autocue, I would strongly recommend pre-processing your files.

Thanks!
I do understand the consequences)

However, few months ago there was a similar problem in Azuracast with their request.dynamic function. While autocue cue_file has default timeout of 60. - request.dynamic couldn't cope with long tracks. Had a an idea of adding the same timeout to that function as well. Now it looks like:

settings.autocue.cue_file.timeout := 60

dynamic = request.dynamic(id="next_song", timeout=settings.autocue.cue_file.timeout(), retry_delay=10., azuracast.autodj_next_song)

and accepts long tracks. Been working fine since.
