## What it is
Liquidsoap is a statically typed scripting language and runtime for building audio and video stream generators, widely used for internet radios and web TVs. It provides composable operators for playlists, scheduling, mixing, transcoding, and outputs to Icecast, RTMP, SRT, HLS, and more via FFmpeg.

## Use cases
- run an internet radio station streaming to icecast
- automate a webradio playlist with jingles and crossfades
- accept live DJ shows and fall back to a playlist
- relay and re-encode an RTMP live video feed to YouTube
- transcode audio and video streams between formats
- schedule programs and sources by time and priority

## When to choose
- you need a programmable, always-on audio or video stream generator
- you run an internet radio or web TV with scheduling, fallbacks, and transitions
- you want FFmpeg-powered transcoding and many streaming protocols in one tool

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple one-shot media file conversion (use ffmpeg directly)
- you need a GUI-based radio automation suite
- you want a general-purpose language unrelated to media streaming

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: audio-processing, video-processing, streaming, programming-language, interpreter, scheduling
- domain: media, self-hosted
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli, self-hosted
- tags: streaming, webradio, icecast, internet-radio, rtmp, hls, ffmpeg, ocaml, media-automation, audio, video, automation, linux, macos, docker
