    Hi @all,
    great job guys!
    I used airtime 1.9 before just for private broadcastings. Now I try to find out how to connect my server on the caster.fm (http://www.caster.fm). the issue is that I want to use playlists when I am not live with chatting show.
    Does anyone tried it to airtime 2 (I managed to do it with 1.9 with some issues but worked)?

    thank you, by change!

    I really do not understand what do you mean when you say that you'd like to use playlists.
    We also have a Caster.fm account and one of our streams generated by Airtime goes there and works.

    Would you please share your experience?

    Thank you!

    Hi, what are you using for live shows? Are you connecting to their icecast server with mixxx?

    If this is the situation then you will need to manually disconnect after your live show and allow Airtime to connect to the mountpoint to do its playlist streaming.

    This may all seem rather cumbersome for now, but wait a few weeks for Airtime 2.1 :-). We will have a live show mode where you can connect directly to Airtime and stream your livechat and when it is done it will fallback to your scheduled playlists.

    sorry for my english. I can play music with playlist from airtime and it sreams succesfull to Caster.fm.
    When I want to do a live show, from my pc using edcast and sending the stream to Airtime server, Caster.Fm gets a stream Airtime - offline.

    In the icecast.xml I have arranged multi mount points, that check if there is a live stream or a stream from playlist, which worked in 1.95.With 2.0 version Icecast does not detect live stream.

    By the way, 
    the new feature will have the ONAIR lit? 
    Another part you may think about is the authetication of users during livechat shows (Every user of airtime to use their credectials for connecting to airtime via Mixxx, edcast or any other software)
    Suppose it had to be hard coded Icecast2 server for the authentication feature.
