Prepare materials on hub
Move the recorded files to the radio folder: sandbox:/var/www/html/radio
scp file.mp3 sandbox:/var/www/html/radio
If necessary, convert mp4 to mp3
fmpeg -i "name.mp4" "name.mp3"
Rename files
ssh sandbox cd /var/www/html/radio mv ORIGINALNAME.mp3 newname.mp3 0_title.mp3
Make a playlist (liquid soap)

cd /srv/radio ls /var/www/html/*.mp3 >> playlist.m3u nano playlist.m3u # did some editing, reordered, removed ones we don't want...
Playlist is here ---> /srv/radio/playlist.m3u
The bash script = playlist.sh
Starting/stopping the stream
Caretaker starts a "tmux session", makes it shareable... (ssh to the sandbox)
tmux -S /tmp/radio attach -t radio
Go into the directory where the *.liq is and then
liquidsoap -v *.liq
Starting the playlist
bash playlist.sh
caretaker can eventually press:
ctrl-b d
... to detach from tmux, leaving liquidsoap (and the stream) running.
Watching tmux
others can watch what is happening with
tmux -S /tmp/radio attach -t radio -r
-r (read only) is to prevent you make accidental changes.
