Which Return Format for Next Songs via Dynamic Playlist Script?

[lagerkoller]

hi together,
i am using sc_serv in combination with sc_trans on my linux server to broadcast mp3s that lie in a music folder on the same server. i wrote a python script that creates a dynamic playlist from my mp3s. i stuck to the documentation and my playlist only contains this call of my script:

code:
#!/usr/bin/python /home/shoutcast/sc_trans_folder/playlists/dynamicPlaylist.py

as the documentation states:

The script run in this case should return the entry in the playlist to run at this point. The script is also passed an integer parameter indicating how many tracks ahead must also be returned by the script.
By returning these extra tracks as well as the first one expected then this information will be used by YP2 to refine searching and also to establish a "coming soon" track which will be shown to clients or on the SHOUTcast site.

therefore, to achieve some kind of playlist behavior, every time the script is called by sc_trans i just print out the path to the next song followed by the paths to the songs coming up afterwards (each in a new line). i print out exactly the amount of songs that i get by the parameter by sc_trans mentioned above. the printouts look like this:

/home/shoutcast/music/songs/Bodies of Water - One Hand Loves the Other.mp3
/home/shoutcast/music/jingles/zomtec.mp3
/home/shoutcast/music/songs/1-06 This Charming Man.mp3

however, when i look in the information in sc_trans's logs i see this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

somehow sc_trans only receives the current song and skips the next songs. maybe the format in which i print out the next songs are wrong? does anybody know how i can fix that? is there a certain format in which i need to return the next songs? any help is appreciated!

the feature doesn't work correctly as it ignores the additional tracks you provide in the response which is why it's then just showing the name of the script entry for the next tracks instead of what was returned. there has been some work done on trying to rectify the issue but as i'm currently not working on sc_trans i don't have any eta for when a fixed version will be released. and the format of the response from the script is fine from what i remember of what the parser is designed to cope with.

ok, cool. thank's for the answer! then i will spend no further efforts into evolving this functionality. (would be cool if that piece of information could be included into the docs and the wiki. then the next one will not try endlessly as me to implement that feature.)

If anyone likes to use my script (or wants to comment to it), feel free to do so. the script must be called from a transcoder playlist (see first post in this thread). please find fully commented script in the attached zip file.

Since the last answer in this thread, in last 4 years, the support and the development of sc_trans was closed. So I guess there is no need to add it.
