    Hi, folks.

    In my project I need to generate two (or more in advance) different audio streams using mediafiles from united library. The simple solution - to use airtime for media file uploading and playlists' generation and running an instance of liquidsoap for each of them. Can you give me an advice - how to do it easier?

    hi,

    well, the main problem is you need common storage but different calendar. It's possible (theoretically).
    You need:
    - two different servers (dedicated or vps doesn't matter)
    - install airtime on both servers
    - make nsf exportable folder airtime/files on first server
    - mount on second that folder (replace existing airtime/files on second)
    - on the second postgres server replace table cc_files with view based on dblink like
    CREATE VIEW cc_files AS
    SELECT * FROM dblink(dbname=airtime port=5432 
            host=firstserver user=airtime password=airtime',
'SELECT *, pop1980 FROM cc_files');

    also you need to configure postgres on first server to allow connect from second server.

    Although Andrey's advice is a good start, I think there are still a lot of other problems to overcome. If we receive enough requests for this, it will be something we will consider supporting in the future.

    Hi!

    Thanks for answers.
    I'd decided to use just my own liquidsoap script with interaction via telnet commands.
    Here is a link to a mail-list. Maybe, it will be interesting for you:
