Development of Airtime is died ?
I guess somebody figures its better to fix it all for 2.6x. I know that lots of code is being rewritten wholesale. But they never seem to answer ANY questions like this (annoying). I used to get fixes out of the 2.52 branch but it disappeared :(

All of the work is being done on 2.6x it seems. Development is very active in there.

URGENT : Need help to clear the cache
I have been running this 'trick' since 2.42 and never had a problem with the cache. It is important that you do NOT use the ordinary library import to do this trick. Use FTP or sFTP.

Airtime Hosted, Really Cheap + Trial on request
I think that you offering a competition service to Sourcefabric's Airtime Pro - IN THEIR OWN FORUM is a damned cheek! I think you are lucky they have not bounced you out! It is like pissing through Albert Santoni's letter-box and then kno…

Just a note, following the minimal install procedure works perfectly, every time. The database issue (2 minute fix) is fully covered here: https://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/16946/fix-for-failed-install-postgres-database-is-not-utf8

Easy Tip - Randomizing Repeating Linked-Show Smartblocks. This does work But some dont need it :/
I have no idea why you cannot make a 24hr block - unless you are using crossfade (bug in there somewhere that affects timings).

What I did, and credit for this tip belongs goes to Peter Stone: I made a 55 minute dynamic playlist called 'testdynamic', with a rule that said 'genre' contains 'rock' I then made a static playlist of one hour called…

How are you getting the mp3 in? The trick only works if you ftp it in to a watched folder - overwriting the same filename.

Sorry to say this but....
PUTTING ISSUES IN THE BUG TRACKER IS CRUCIAL. Nothing else much gets acted on.

Cannot uninstall airtime
The Apache virtual Hosts files need setting back to defaut (easy). Google it and set them back to default. Beware if you are using ubuntu 14.04 the file formats have changed slightly.

Database - UTF-8 error
The Postgres install - not UTF8 - aborts the install. The test is FLAWED. The installer checks if the POSTGRES database is is UTF8 if not it aborts the whole shebang. No amount of changing the locale to UTF8 will make any difference to the test. It …

Airtime Questions and Suggestions
Bart is often telling everyone who will listen that the project is dead. This is a very good way to kill it as people will believe it and support will drop. 2.6x is where their time is being spent and I can see many recent changes and additions in t…

I don't see much constructive critism here. If you read Bart's history of posts, its just one moan after another and slurring Sourcefabric. Go and look in the Git and see all the work being done before spreading rumours that the project is…

Trimming the show file would not work for me - I want to here the end of the story each time and 'who dunnit'. Firstly I would empty the browser cache. Does that fix it? If not: Look under folders under the stor folder and you will find …

Airtime Questions and Suggestions
That is rather uninformed and mean minded. Check the 2.6x GIT to see what is being worked on and when stuff changes. There is shedload of dev going on in 2.6x currently. Most of Bob's points (some valid) are because this is a scheduler feeding…

Airtime 2.4 to 2.5 Upgrade not working/apt-get says it is up to date
OK, I think this finally nails it and explains it. Background: Postgresql is perfectly capable of using per database encoding if the database is created properly, using the encoding option. EG UTF8. The installer tests the collation of the actual p…

BTW, I have a cron'd script that is nearly done that will correctly update the times for the new incomming mp3. BUT you must NEVER put a track AFTER it in a show - you must use fallback.

RE: adding an external stream - go to the AT library - New - Webstream. Then add THAT to the schedule. I am getting AT working on an ARM device that is NOT a pi - but a sub 100$ quad-core Rockchip device. It should have more than enough power. You…
