[Savonet-users] Periodical reproduction of ads

[Александр К. <ale...@ku...>]

Hello,

I try to implement following algorithm of playlists scheduling:
there are two playlists: main and advertisements. liquidsoap in series get
tracks from main playlist and after any 5th (for example) track insert
track from ad playlist (but before 6th track from main playlist).

now I use such construction:

*    s = playlist("#{main}")*
*    ads = playlist("#{ads}")*
*    random(weights=[1,4], [ads, s])*

(also I does not want that ads overlay main stream: I want to insert ad
between previous and next tracks from main playlist)

I think that I should use queue management - create internal global counter
and on "track played" event check counter and if (counter mod 5) == 0 then
add to queue random track from ad playlist.

I have tried to carefully consider this email archive and found some
interesting thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/sav...@li.../msg02282.html
is there simpler way for solve my problem?
is there restrictions for liquidsoap version?
I does not need cross-fade and I ask this question because I does not know
liquidsoap language well :(

Current config dynamicaly create stations and i should have an array of
counters. How I can create associative array (dictionary) ?

Sorry for my stupid (may be) questions, but I tried use google at first :)

thx!
