Playing mp3 files from cloud server

[hjkaddict]

Hi, I hope this question is not so stupid question, I am very new to programming and linux. Thanks for your time to read this.

Okay, I successfully setup icecast2 server on my digitalocean droplet(streaming server) and use liquidsoap to play files which I saved in the same streaming server. All works super well.

For expading the streaming services, I would like to build up cloud server and play music files which we upload to the cloud. My strategy is setting up another server(cloud server) where me and my friend both can upload music files there by using Nextcloud. So that liquidsoap could watch files and update the playlist automatically.

So far, as your tutorial mentioned, I put music files in certain directory in streaming server locally and point the folder in main.liq file. For example: archives = playlist(mode="randomize", reload_mode="watch", "/opt/liquidsoap/archives") My question is, how to point directory(as bold text above) which is not locally but remotely such as directories from other server?

Probably it is not a simple question to be answered, but it would be really appreciated if you could point me something that I can manage this.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

This is not really a liquidsoap issue, basically you need to give your streaming server access to the filesystem on the other server. There are many ways to do this, the simplest would probably be using sshfs on the "liq" server, assuming a debian-like system: sudo apt install sshfs then inside a directory where you want the files to appear: mkdir cloud_archives and sshfs login@cloudserver:/opt/liquidsoap/archives cloud_archives

You can use various things to make that available on boot, like a mount target or fstab entry… You could also use a NFS or a cloud mounted directory… Or a simple sync client for your cloud instance…

Good luck ;)

That sshfs is the keyword I have been looking for. I actually tried to set up cloud and stream in the same server, seems like it works. However, integrating files between servers by using sshfs is something that I want to try out for further radio project.

Thanks a lot again.

@quydox i hava the same problem, how to write playlist with http/https url. and how to use it. thanks a lot!

Here is my playlist content

phan-xet-verse-3.mp3
youtube-dl:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41s01TRv0Q0
https://this-is-valid-domain.com/s3/bray.m4a
nvdcnd.m4a
hong-lau-mong.m4a

and it works well

and here is test.liq

# Stream it out
output.icecast(%vorbis,

Er, guys… What's the relationship with the issue? Maybe you can open another one for your problem/question? ;)

[jonahzheng]

@gilou ok, https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/issues/1482

[gilou]

@hjkaddict you may want to close that issue, to avoid further hijacking of the issue ;)

[hjkaddict]

@gilou alright man thanks again.
