Problem with postgresql encoding installing Airtime
It tells you what is wrong. * Unfortunately your postgresql database has not been created using a UTF-8 encoding. * As of Airtime 2.1, installs will fail unless the encoding has been set to UTF-8. Please verify this is the case * and try the inst…

Or.......... you could probably do it more easily using a PHP cli script, Zend or Python and do the whole thing server-side on a cron job, which would make an image available and just pull that in the player periodically using a random number on the…

You can manually add an image url in the track dialog. into the unused 'website' field. Enable the column for that in the column drop-down. Then you just need to poll an API every few seconds to match the tack title from the icecast now p…

If you are a coder, you could do a postgres query to get the image url out of the cc_files table by looking up from the track name which the now_playing API exposes. You could also maybe get the track name from the Icecast API

I managed to do similar in AT on a PROGRAM basis. So a logo showed up for the show. This may do what you need? Its much easier in the newer fork of Airtime at libretime.org which actually has a dedicated show image,

Schedule problems after airtime restore - corrupt backup or else?
Get a 10$ a month vps and try it out. Or a free for 30 days one. I can install the base on Ubuntu trusty in minutes. Its easier than AT by miles.

Schedule problems after airtime restore - corrupt backup or else?
I found just deleting the shows did not work - it just recurred - double playing shows etc. I did have to scroll forwards a week at a time and clean it. Libretime is not perfect. It is a fork of Airtime Pro and has lots of stuff fixed in it. They ar…

Schedule problems after airtime restore - corrupt backup or else?
I had this a few times. It only happened on a couple of repeating shows. I deleted the offending shows and rebooted. As if by magic, when scrolling forwards a few weeks I found ghost remaining shows even out to 6 months! I deleted all of those and r…

Before you do anything more, I would look here: http://libretime.org/ It is a newer fork of Airtime Pro and actively being improved. That said. I would go to /var/logs/airtime, delete all the files. Reboot. Wait until it fails and examine all the l…

Airtime in an Icecast Hierarchy
Are you using the usual hack of modifying the Liquid Soap script for a fall-back AutoDJ? Look in the Forum's 'Hacks' section for examples. If you have not modified the LS script then it will actually be broadcasting 'comfort noi…

My thoughts. I had a fully dedicated server running airtime and it worked great. I tried several VPS servers for various clients with ok-ish to poor results with one notable exception. afterburst.com The afterburst setup has special new generation h…

AirTime ready installed on .vhd for hyperV
Try Libretime.org It is a fork of Airtime Pro. It installs easily, works, and has much more recent code, features & fixes. Ensure that you use their recommended version of Ubuntu.

Airtime ERROR Message
It looks to me as if some dependency did not get installed. You could look in /var/logs/airtime for clues? Personally I would try Libretime under Ubuntu using the version they recommend. ;) This is a fork of Airtime Pro :) They are still developing …

Before doing ANYTHING else, I would reboot the server. It just might resolve it. Possibly some of the dependencies and/or upgrade might need that

This is a well known silan problem. You can search the forum for installing/compiling a new version - or uninstall silan. Silan removes silence at the front and back of the track. Most tracks are already pre-trimmed.

Connected to the streaming server, but no sound output?
It looks like your domain is not configured correctly or wasn't entered correctly in the setup.

I think Libretime already does this (Open Source Airtime Pro). Or you could write it yourself as it is open source. There appear to be no 'official' open source updates in years here.

Take a look at libretime.org too, (especially in their Git Issues) which is a port of airtime pro and is even more comprehensive than 2.53.. As Airtime is built upon LiquidSoap which does most of the 'heavy lifting', I would scour the LS m…
