Liquidsoap Automation Configuration Fix
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
My Icecast station runs on Liquidsoap and the current custom script isn’t doing what I need. Three pain points are blocking smooth automation: the overnight block rarely fires exactly at its scheduled start time, the closing IDs and liners at the end of that block never trigger, and the “auto-generated” daily playlist repeats the same tracks in identical order.
************* BUDGET AND FYI *****************
First this budget max out at $25. You will work in my budget, not your budget idea!
Do not bid with AI proposal. Many of you lie about your skills. Do not tell me you understand liquid soap using AI, actually write a real proposal and tell me if you know liquid soap and Auto DJ
*************************
Here’s what I need corrected:
• Scheduling – the overnight show must reliably start on the dot and hand back control at the right moment.
• Closers – a short set of ending files (already on the server) has to play before the next clock wheel begins.
• Daily playlist logic – each day a fresh .m3u should be created, pulling randomly from a folder I provide (≈ 1,200 songs) with minimal repeats from the previous 24 hours.
All audio is on the server, Liquidsoap 2.x is installed, and I can grant SSH access plus the existing .liq file for reference. Please keep the solution in Liquidsoap (no external schedulers); once updated I’ll test live for two nights before marking the job complete.
Deliverable: an updated, commented .liq config that meets the three requirements above, along with a brief read-me explaining any new dependencies or cron entries you add.
