Playlist with fixed time-programmable Elements

Hi you all,

I am a long-year user of the Squeezebox System with currently five clients (Boom, Duet, 2x Touch, Radio) in our house, driven by a Synology Server on LLM 7.7.

I am currently looking a solution for the following desire. - I am a heavy listener of my own music program via playlists. What I would like to have is a mode that is switch my playlists automatically after a certain interval to the latest radio news, either live-streamed at the full hour, or alternatively to a hourly updated news-file with a fixed URL.

So ideal situation: I would be able to activate my playlist, but after a certain time-interval or at a set time point, music is faded out and the news stream/file is played. When the news are over (file ends or after a set time-length) the playlist fades in again. That is my dream of a personal radio...

There is a project called DIY in Switzerland (diy.fm) that tries to implement something similar; but I have the fealing that using a script on squeezebox server would be more flexible and effective...

Any ideas?

Best regards
Christian
