This is such a secret sleeper piece of software. Keep in mind this will also do video as well, which excites me to experiment with making 24/7 streaming channels like old-school cable tv.

A side project I've wanted to try for ages is recreating old-school Adult Swim. There's a huge archive of bumps available at the Internet Archive [1], and also a collection maintained at BumpWorthy [2].

It just would be so damn cool to write a few scripts, grab the archives of some of my favorite shows, intersperse the bumps, and have a 24/7/365 stream of "classic" Adult Swim (which for me is the period from like 2004-2009 or so).

Nowadays, you could probably use an LLM to generate some of the more "conversational" bumps (not the ones that are like, cool or funny, just the ones that say "tonight we have Metalocalypse" or whatever). I feel like you could potentially make something really fun.

Liquidsoap seems like a decent option, I also looked into a Plex plugin (I think it was called FakeTV or similar). But I think the biggest thing (besides time) that's kept me from working on it is the knowledge that I just probably wouldn't actually use it, as cool as the idea sounds.
