ls-autocue-to-azuracast

This Liquidsoap code can be used to store autocue data in Azuracast.

If you aren't aware of the Liquidsoap autocue feature yet, please read the Azuracast Autocue Quickstart Manual at the bottom of this Read Me.

What it does

Each time a song starts playing, this script will check if autocue data was determined by Liquidsoap autocue. If so, it will update below listed data of the related song/track in Azuracast. You can see the result on Media "Visual Cue Editor" or "Advanced" tab.

Please consider that existing cue/fade/amplify data could be overwritten!

• cue in (liq_cue_in)
• cue out (liq_cue_in)
• crossfade/overlap duration (liq_cross_duration)
• fade in (liq_fade_in)
• fade out (liq_fade_in)
• amplify (liq_amplify)
