AirTime/IceCast2 Live Stream Handover for iPhone/iPad/Android

    I have been working on an iPhone/iPad app for my university as a senior project requirement.  Our radio station is going to use AirTime for radio management and LadioCast for a live mp3 stream of the DJ's voice (We would like to use mp3 since it is supported by both Android and iOS).  The iPhone app is based off of an open source university application on GitHub.  I have three mount points set similar to the FlossManual tutorial:  /airtime_128, /live, and /stream (for the public).  

    When I play the "/stream" in the app or in the iOS safari, the IceCast2 handover does not seem to work properly.  When the live stream begins, the stream just stops with no audio.  I have to exit the quicktime stream, refresh the page, and start the stream again for the live audio.  When the live stream ends, the audio stops, and I have to repeat the process again to listen to the AirTime stream.  In the university app, I have to stop the stream and reconnect to listen to the live DJ.  I have been searching on Google for a solution and have not had any luck.

    Has anyone had any luck with correcting this issue?

    I would appreciate any help on this matter.

    You might want to look into Airtime 2.1, where we specifically support this use case from the Airtime UI in a much friendlier way. There is a beta available at the moment, with the final release roughly 2 weeks away.

    I upgraded the AirTime installation to 2.1-beta3, but now I have another issue.  When I add a show to the calendar, the calendar appears to be frozen.  The show never appears on the calendar.

    Here's an image of what occurs:

    Hi,

    The beta3 version doesn't support the upgrade yet. It is likely that RC version will be supporting the upgrade.
    Thank you.

    I completed a fresh install with the "airtime-full-install" script and I am able to successfully add a show to the calendar.  I am having some issues with Liquidsoap.

    Hi,

    It looks like your apache vhost file is not correct.
    Please check /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/airtime

    Thank you.
