URY Auto-Switcher/Auto-Selector (whatever you wanna call it)

How it (should) Work

• At 59 minutes past the hour, decides what four actions to do

• These are three selector commands (or do nothing) and yes/no to a studio check

• Checks at -31 seconds it has stuff to do

• Does stuff at XX:59:45, YY:00:00 and YY:02:02 based on the three selector commands (can be do nothing)

• If neccesary, does a check to make sure WS isn't on air

Instructions

Development and Testing

• Copy config.json.example to config.json
• Test with go test -v

Configuartion Usage

• OBShows is an array of timeslot IDs (integers) that will be considered to be a Source 4 OB by the software
• autoNewsRequests has JSON objects of timeslotID, autoNewsStart and autoNewsEnd to control autonews manually for non WS shows
• Updates to config.json.example should be reflected in the structs towards the start of thonkyBoi.go
• The config file path is a const at the start of thonkyBoi.go

Code Layout (so you can find stuff)

• Imports, Constants, Structs
• checkAutonews
• checkTimeSoon
• checkOB
• checkWS
• Decisioning
• main
  • Start Logging
  • MyRadio and WebStudio API Calls
  • Catch-All Statements
  • Determining bools for next sources and autonewses and the 3 transitions and studioCheck (Decisioning)
  • Logging Plan, and -31 Seconds Readiness Check
  • Running the Commands

API Thoughts

CurrentAndNext returns (from myradio-go) myradio.Show structs, rather than timeslots. This annoyed me when I found this out, because I had (seemingly) coded all of this wrong. But it turns out, the Show's ID in C.a.N. isn't the Show ID, but is instead the timeslot ID. So, this code works, even if the API is questionable.
