 |
|
Hey All,
First time playing with EZStream. It's really kewl on the Re-encode.. Got it running first try.
Question tho, is there a way to get it to randomize the playlist at all? Secondly, will it loop thru the playlist?
I didn't see anything on the instructions page for it.
Thanks for the awesome tool tho.

| I have been using EzStream to stream a 3 hour MP3 and it does repeat... im guessing the best way to make a random playlist is to create a programme of some sort to create the list on the fly... |

| Yeah, i'm guessing i'm going to have to do that...the only thing that would be kewl is to have it loop somehow. |

ezstream does loop at the end of the playlist/file... for me it runs since 2 weeks now 
*hint* I don't find the post anymore... but i think you can
| Code: |
| kill -SIGHUP [PID of ezstream] |
and it will reload the playlist you defined.
I did the following for having a playlist (on freebsd) generated:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
find /usr/local/files -name "*.mp3" -print > /usr/local/playlist/playlist.m3u
|
hope it helps.
ps: if you have a solution to randomize it I whould appriciate..

Have you tried installing randomize lines? Package is called randomize-lines on Debian and Ubuntu apt-get.
Pipe your previous command through it to randomize the list. Here is what I use to make my playlist file.
| Code: |
| find /mnt/raid700/music/cc/ -iname *.mp3 -o -iname *.ogg -o -iname *.flac | rl > playlist.m3u |

thank you for your answer.
i already solved my problem, i used php to get all the files into an array and then i randomize it
btw on freebsd i didn't found a corresponding port for this tool... but i didn't searched for a long time.

Possibly it's called "rl" since thats the name of the actual command?
I'm sure there has to be some app that does the same on FreeBSD. It would really surprise me if there isn't.
I guess it doesn't matter since you found another way, so meh. |

Hi,
i've got gentoo ebuild and runs fine but when I try to terminate ezstream via pid file. but no pid file in system.
How configure ezstream for writing pid file? |

The nasty way is to do:
ps -aux | grep ezstream
Then eyeball the PID and do
kill PID
But I thought there was a command in Linux where you can kill a process based on its name, not its PID. |

ok the goal is too use ezstream as an replacement to ices in ampache an webbased player/management which can feed icecast.
there, ices is handled in more than one process with its pid.
thatswhy its nice to know the pid process number.
some other ideas? |
