This is a fresh install and the initial status responded with everything working and no problems.
I'm curious if anything in this status report reveals what the problem might be.
I've tried to restart the liquidsoap and media monitor separately with
sudo service airtime-media-monitor restart
and
sudo airtime-liquidsoap restart
but they did not start.
If I can supply any further information I will do so at your request.
Thank you for your help.
