I delete my file after queueing it via socket connection, it plays fine, but once played I get this error message. Looking at the code it seems there are no other consequences to my actions ? Is it just a false alarm and no harm in deleting after queue ?

Hi! Files are queued via a request system internally. We are expecting them to be present for the time the request exist in the system.

If you wish to delete the file after it has been used by liquidsoap, you can use the tmp protocol and push a request of this form:

tmp:/path/to/file

In this case, liquidsoap will take care of deleting the file once it's done using it.

thank you for your support !! so i can just prefix my queue path with that is simple :) i will try it. but is there any need for the file once its been queued ? and thus any consequence for deleting it ?

[hayden-t]

So it did not work: Unknown protocol "tmp" in URI "tmp:/app/recording.wav"

This seems to be working here:

output.dummy(
  playlist(
    prefix="tmp:",
    "<path/to/playlist>"
    ),
  fallible=true
  )

And, yeah, we need the file to be present to decode data I believe.. 🙂
