View on GitHub

The liquidshop 4 is the fourth edition of a workshop about Liquidsoap and related technologies. The goal is to gather all people interested in Liquidsoap (of course) and welcome any contribution, related or not to Liquidsoap.

We are particularly eager to get to know how people in the community do radio, media streaming and more, learning about specific tools or workflow that we could, in turn, use to enhance how liquidsoap works. We also love to meet the people involved and engaged with these technologies, community radios, non-profit but also budding startups or more established businesses, art project and installations and more!

Topics of interest are for instance

This is thus the place to share to the world your favorite or cutting edge technologies and projects!

Abstracts

Romain Beauxis: Latest news about Liquidsoap / slides

Presenting the new features of Liquidsoap.

Matthias Hormann: The Autocue Saga / slides

The recent developement of autocue in liquidsoap, released with version v2.2.5, was the culmination of weeks of joint work between radio enthusiasts and liquidsoap devs. In this talk, Matthias will present how the idea came together, was implemented and how it can be used.

An online version of slides is also available.

Aleksas Tunikas: Using Randomness for fun and a no profit at all

Some research on the art selection based on randomness, with a situation with a large library that is too big to listen to literary, for a personal and public profit. How to solve the problem with a big library, a good taste, some free time and modern open source technology.

Mihai Ciurea: HLS Interstitial / slides

An overview of not very new HLS Interstitial support from Apple.

Pierre Depaz: Cyclic broadcasting on Dial Radio / slides

This talk provides an overview of the technical and social components of Dial Radio. As a worldwide broadcasting station, Dial Radio plays through a pool of user-submitted, externally-hosted playlists. The technical part goes over the technical details of the broadcasting system (LS), as well as the downloading system (Go), while the social part goes over the design choices and community events to get people to contribute playlists. As a young project (1 year), we would be looking very much forward to any feedback from the community!

John Chewter: The story of Retail Radio

John will walk us through the story of Retail Radio, what it does, how he built it and what he thinks is relevant/particularly interesting to other liquidsoap users.

Nicholas Simoneaux: Turbozone.org Ruff Cutz Radio / slides

Our radio station, turbozone.org, is the current primary delivery platform of a group of New Orleans artists, the Ruff Cutz Ethical Music Collective. I will discuss about the radio station and Liquidsoap to distribute music produced by local artists.

Brian Rickman: Radio: The Evolution Continues / slides

A conversation about the future of broadcast radio and how Liquidsoap can play an important role going forward. See also this recent article about Radio-TV/SONA/The Future.
