Hi,

The way it's usually done, is to make the request dynamic. Instead of
having to tell liquidsoap what to play, you have liquidsoap ask "what
should I play next", and feed it with the answer (using a script), so
you don't have to tell liquidsoap to reload anything :)

An approach I like is to have a fallback liq script to be able to put
one down if I need to do massive changes (that can't be reloaded
easily). This way, your main stream never goes down (if you're careful,
it can even fallback smoothly for your listeners), and you can
change/reload whatever you want by simply stopping & restarting the liq
instance.

Cheers

Gilou
