Easy Tip - Randomizing Repeating Linked-Show Smartblocks. This does work But some dont need it :/

No. It will give you shuffled versions - which is probably ok if you have like 200 tracks to randomise from for a 1 or 2 hour show. So maybe you would do this for a week. And make a new smartblock & playlist for next week. Then the new week woul…

The difference is is that I am adding a plain playlist that CONTAINS a smart block instead of just a Smartblock on its own. When Airtime adds the plain playlist to each show instance, it triggers the generation of a new smartblock - with changed con…

Tit bits on how Smart Blocks really work
A smartbock makes a playlist according to rules. Example: a randomised list of tracks 2 hours long with a genre of (say) Rock. NOTE: The list is generated when you add the smartblock to the show content. It is a common misconception among beginners …

I think the fade data is stored in the mp3 file metadata.

Airtime working great on my tiny ARM machine
It streams 3 streams fine. Does everything it should. Not bad for a box the size of a cigarette packet. Now to add a good input client and see if it still stands up ok and takes skype calls.. If it does, I have a complete radio setup

Airtime Update - September
As I have asked before.. why do you not offer a commercial support plan for non-pro airtime? $x/month for support from the team or $y/incident? That would pay some bills too.

We do. Lots of us. What a lot of wasted duplicated effort. I am talking about things like external widgets, dedicated radio players - not part of the Pro codebase. The things you guys don't have time to do and do not care about. The 'not i…

Some of us in here are full-blown devs. We are surprised we don't get used - apart from bug finding. There are Joomla, Wordpress, LiquidSoap, Bash, Python, PHP etc people in here that I am sure would help out on the Non-Pro side of things. Is t…

Widgets to use the API. We users really need Joomla, Wordpress, iFrame and, I guess, NewsScoop widgets. I am happy to make some Joomla ones, for common use.. Likewise working low-latency players.

The station operator knows if the show is prerecoded. How about it being user selectable in the Show setup? In the content tracks, it would be useless to me.

It would be cool if - when you change a show title.. it did not wipe the content (and leave database wreckage)

Add Show Genre please - I export that and use it - as well as everything on your list. I would like to see it paired with the NEXT show (not track) which I guess it is. Why would you need show description and show instance description? I don't …

How To Disable Cache Entirely?
This action does not surprise me at all. It will try and play the cached version of the file referenced by the CC_SCHEDULE table (you can forget the other tables for this). If the file is not there: silence.
