auto dj requirements


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I'm looking for a host with autodj facility - but my requirements are quite specific.

 

I want the ability to switch on/switch off autodj and specify a particular playlist via an API (ie http requests sent from my server to the autodj). I dont want to sign into the control panel at 3am for example but instead, have my server send requests to the API as required.

 

I dont need complicated playout rules, clocks etc just the ability to request something like this...

 

AUTO DJ START AT 04:00:00 ON 01/06/2008

PLAY PLAYLIST MORNING_MUSIC.LST

AUTO DJ STOP AT 05:30:00 ON 01/06/2008

 

AUTO DJ START AT 23:00:00 ON 01/06/2008

PLAY PLAYLIST NIGHT_MUSIC.LST

AUTO DJ STOP AT 04:00:00 ON 02/06/2008

...etc.

 

The Playlists can be built via the control panel as usual - uploading MP3s etc - I just want the ability to stop/start autodj remotely on demand.

 

My server system has a sophisticated booking system and changes the shoutcast password as required. At a few mins to the hour, if the next hour is not booked, it would activate the autoDJ and switch off again if/when the next show is booked. I also want to fill the schedule with some pre-recorded shows, which again would be handled by the autoDJ.

 

Are these requirements too specialised? Am I asking the Earth? I have budget to pay for a custom development - and I dare say, I could probably build something if really really really pushed - but I'd rather reuse something if it exists.

 

Any info would be appreciated.

 

Best
