Re: [campcaster-support] scheduler bug, doesn't play audio after 2h playlist
  • Hi Alan,

    In our experience, playlist length is directly related to CPU speed; the
    faster the CPU, the longer and more complex the playlists can be. To be
    safe, we recommend that playlist duration be shorter than 2 hours and
    longer than 20 seconds. Also, very complex playlists (those with playlists
    nested inside other playlists nested inside other playlists) can also tax
    the CPU.

    We mention this in our page on known bugs and bug workarounds:

    http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/wiki/BugWorkarounds

    It's also a good idea to look at our developers' page in general:

    http;//code.campware.org/projects/campcaster

    We are also in the process of testing the new 1.4 version of Campcaster,
    which may address some of these issues because it is a total rewrite of
    the Campcaster plugin to the Gstreamer audio framework.


    Hope this helps,

    douglas

    scheduler bug, doesn't play audio after 2h playlist

    Hello,

    I'm trying out the scheduler, for a while now, and I think this is a
    problem. when I create a playlist of over 2h, it will funtion but will not
    play any audio.

    is this normal? can I change this problem?
    is there a maximum lenght?

    Please let me know, for we will use the campcaster program, we are relying
    on it to start our radio.



    Alan
