[lowepalma]

I am using input.httml("https:examples.com:8000/stream) and then i want another connection be input.httml("https:examples222.com:8000/stream) i can't get it to change the url it always plays the same as it loads . Is there something to reset it to stop it, how would it be done

Hi @lowepalma,

input_1 = input.http("https:examples.com:8000/stream")
input_2 = input.http("https:examples222.com:8000/stream")

input.http will be available as long as the source is, due to its nature.
It's up to you to find a way to decide which input should be active.

There are multiple ways to resolve your problem.

1. Time-based schedule and the switch.

   radio = switch([
     ({8h-19h}, input_1),
     ({19h-8h}, input_2)
   ], track_sensitive=false)

   {8h-19h} is a function that will become true if the local time is between 08:00 and 19:00.
   You have the option to utilize more advanced functions here.
2. External variable and the switch.

   activate_input_1 = ref(false)
   activate_input_2 = ref(false)
   radio = switch([
     (!activate_input_1, input_1),
     (!activate_input_2, input_2)
   ], track_sensitive=false)

   activate_input_1 and activate_input_2 are set elsewhere.
   For instance, you can utilize telnet, harbor.http, interactive, or thread.

How change value input_1 value from function ? the problem I have is that the value does not change, always if it has the first value.

EX:

input_1 = ref(input.http("https://aaaaaaaaa:2957/stream"))

def one_new_value =
input_1 = ref(input.http("https://bbbbbbb:2957/stream"))
end

The not change to https://bbbbbbb:2957/stream

Hi @lowepalma ,

You need to set the variable outside of the source. Something like this:

url = ref("https://aaaaaaaaa:2957/stream")

s = input.http({!url}) # {!url} is the same as: fun () -> !url, i.e. a function that returns the latest value for url

# Then later:
url := "https://bbbbbbb:2957/stream"

http.input() has any stop, reset command?
