Liquidsoap
Audio & Video Streaming Language
Tell Me More

What is Liquidsoap?

Liquidsoap is a powerful and flexible language for describing audio
and video streams. It offers a rich collection of operators that you
can combine at will, giving you more power than you need for creating
or transforming streams.

Simple

Liquidsoap is light and easy to use, in the Unix tradition of simple
strong components working together. You can get your first stream
running with just a couple lines of code.

Expressive

Instead of a complicated and limited configuration file, Liquidsoap
gives you the power and expressivity of a fully featured language
specially dedicated to your streaming needs.

Versatile

Liquidsoap supports multiple audio and video format and codecs, as
well as many streaming input and output and some more, allowing you
to send your streams wherever you wish to.

Examples

Some of the things you can do with Liquidsoap

    Creating a webradio and sending it to a icecast or shoutcast
    server is a simple as two lines of code! Setup a folder with your
    tracks and start streaming right away!

    Add live shows

    Bring live DJs to your web stream! Liquidsoap can accept
    connections from most live DJ software such as Mixxx or Darkice.
    Or you can simply direct your DJs to a webpage using the

    Customize your transitions

    Define your own custom transitions between songs. Insert a
    jingle, fade the ending track out, or not. You can decide and
    write the code to implement it with little effort! See our
    default implementation.
