This is the first beta release of liquidsoap 2.0!
The 2.0.0 release branch brings important and fundamental changes to liquidsoap, in particular:
- First-class support of video
- Tight integration with
ffmpeg, encoders, decoders, filters and more - Enhanced language features making the script language a fully-featured language
This release is the first beta release, which means that we believe that we are done with most of the fundamental changes and are now considering stabilizing the existing core. We are encouraging users to test it, with the confidence that, once their scripts are adapted to the new changes, they will work with the final release with very little changes and that we will be reactive to bug reports so we can move toward a final release quicker.
This release also comes with the first version of the Liquidsoap book!! 🎉
The book covers the Liquidsoap language, in version 2.0.0, with a view to stream generation, from the basics to advanced use cases. We believe that it'll be a great companion while switching to or working on learning about the 2.0.0 release.
It is available:

Windows users: Please note that the windows build does not support our regular encoders (lame, ogg, etc.) along with ffmpeg (they are compiled statically and some of the symbols are conflicting). Since ffmpeg provides the same encoders and more, we have decided to only enable ffmpeg on this build. Please, refer to the documentation here to see how to use ffmpeg to encode in various formats.
