Hello,

my first question is this.

I have a .liq file that rotates based on the hour, but on most of the
hours, the hour doesn't end on time, either 30 or 42 minute things happpen.

Is their a way to tell the system, if this ends at 40 minutes or more,
past the hour, dump to this music stream until the top of the next hour
then come back.

Related: one of the rotations has files that are 20-26 minutes long, so
if a file is 26 minutes, and it can fit another 26 minute file into the
rotation, do it then dump off to the music stream until the top of the
next hour, then come back and start the next rotation.

My second question relates to title streaming.

99% of the files in this large automation system are without ID3 tags,
and retagging them would take forever.

Is there a way, since the filename does get written to the log, to
output the filename (without path and extension), to the title stream if
ID3 tags don't exist?

Thanks for any assistance.

Not sure that I see what you're looking at without more details. Do you
have a script you could share?

Yes, you should be able to use an operator such as map_metadata. Filename
should be present in the metadata passed to this operator so you can write
your own handler that does just this.
