I have a full dedicated server -not vps - with Ubuntu, 2 TB of disk, 16GB of ram and 4 cores for 60 UK Pounds/m - unlimited bandwidth. This is more than you need - but check these prices. http://customer.kphservices.com/dedicated-servers.php

Feedback Wanted: Airtime Content Network Idea
My rss downloader addin for Airtime does most of this already. It grabs the rss feed contents and downloads podcasts that it has not yet imported (only) into its own watched folder. My next step for version 2 will be to copy the very latest podcas…

Is it possible to install Airtime on a VPS without a domain name, using an IP address?
you could always get a free temp domain from http://www.dot.tk or set up a subdomain like test.yourdomain.com

Airtime problem with live broadcast
Depending on who set up the vps on the hosting, and how that was done, it is possible that some other user in the the VPS server/cluster platform is crashing your server. This cannot happen on a dedicated server.

smart block playlist combination
Have you looked at smart blocks using track genres? I think this might be what you need?

I am trying to build something like autoDJ with smart blocks but it does not repeat tracks
You could try thinking like this.. make a 7 hour random-track smart block, Add this to a show of any length up to 7 hours long - it will work.

Airtime 2.4 to 2.5 Upgrade not working/apt-get says it is up to date
Yes and no. The airtime installer doesn't use that if you are doing it remotely. Destroy the database. Ensure the putty/whatever client you are using is set to utf8. It takes its setting from the client you are using to run the install script.

Tick the repeat box in Add Show - a dialogue expands. If you have also have repeating content tick the linked box. It does not easily repeat on the same day :(

Is it actually in the upload folder? Check write permissions for the upload folder?

Then the code was incorrectly entered. You need to paste it into HTML View - not the normal edit screen.
