Airtime Crossfading issues
  • Hi there, 

    i have some questions regarding how crossfading exactly works - and if i got the current limitations correctly: 

    so from my understanding crossfading works by : 

    1) having fade in/out combined with trackoffset 
    2) trackoffset can only be specified globally 
    3) if fade in / fade out is set to 0, the trackoffset is still set globally 
    4) if i.e. i want a playlist with 3 songs crossfading, after the 3rd no crossfading ( for a jingle i.e. ) followed by 3 songs ( crossfading between the songs, but not the jingle ) it is not working
    5) track offset is stored in cc_playlist_contents for each track, but not read by the interface if altered ( i.e. put offset to 0 for certain songs, to eliminate crossfading between only those ) 

    Putting that in mind - 
    what would be the correct way to achieve a more selective crossfading option ? 

    - If i would implement a change to the interface to selectively overwrite the global track offset & store in the db 
    where do i have to start changing things in the liquidsoap code ? 

    Is this a general known bug btw - or am i just using airtime wrong ? 

    Any help is much appreciated!

  • I think the fade data is stored in the mp3 file metadata.
    No longer using Airtime or Libretime.
