liquidsoap-scripts

Liquidsoap scripts I'm writing to try the language out.

Mainly, this repo will be about re-streaming from other sources or generating test media.

Requirements

System

I'm currently running everything on a beefy Debian 12/bookworm VM with the following:

• deb-multimedia repository (just bookworm one) for FFmpeg and related libraries.

  • To avoid complications, I pinned the repository with a higher priority. To achieve this, you can add a file to /etc/apt/preferences.d/ like /etc/apt/preferences.d/99prefer-dmo and add this config:

    Package: *
    Pin: release o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages,n=bookworm
    Pin-Priority: 910
    

• Debian's own bookworm-backports repository pinned with a higher priority for keeping everything else at the Bleeding Edge™️:

  • To achieve this, you can add a file to /etc/apt/preferences.d/ like /etc/apt/preferences.d/99prefer-backports and add this config:

    Package: *
    Pin: release o=Debian Backports,n=bookworm-backports
    Pin-Priority: 900
    
    Package: *
    Pin: release o=Debian Backports,n=bookworm-backports-debug
    Pin-Priority: 900
    

  • Then run apt update following with apt dist-upgrade as root.

  • Reboot.

• Liquidsoap .deb files from Liquidsoap Rolling Release 2.3.x

  • Minimal packages are not used.

Streaming target

You also need a platform to stream to.

Drawing the rest of the fucking owl

Remaining steps:

• Clone this repository:
  • git clone https://github.com/linuxgemini/liquidsoap-scripts.git
• Change current working directory to the repository folder:
  • cd liquidsoap-scripts
• Create a secrets folder:
  • mkdir secrets
• Configure your streaming target, this is left as an exercise for the reader.
• Run any one of the scripts, for example:
  • ./testcard.liq
