    Hi,

    I've a strange comportment on a airtime installation (1.9.4.13)

    I do restart airtime-playout to listen the show with icecast, elsewhere I have nothing...

    everything is fine, no errors, no strange logs

    an idea ?

  • You may have to start the play out (if you have not done that before
    sudo service airtime-playout        start


    If that is right check the airtime files to make sure you actually have it set up to stream

    sudo nano /etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg


    mine looks like this at the top
    ###########################################
    # Liquidsoap config file                  #
    ###########################################
    
    ###########################################
    # Output settings                         #
    ###########################################
    output_sound_device = false
    output_icecast_vorbis = false
    output_icecast_mp3 = true
    output_shoutcast = false
    
    #output_bitrate = 128
    #output_samplerate = 44100
    #output_stereo = true
    
    ###########################################
    # Logging settings                        #
    ###########################################
    

    if you change anything you need to restart the play out
    sudo service airtime-playout        restart


    If it still is not working, I have had this problem there are 2 things to check to see that you local clock is correct (terminal)
    /usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org


    The second thing that you can check that your time zone is set in the to the proper time zone

    sudo nano /usr/share/airtime/public/.htacces


    update the settings
    sudo airtime-update-db-settings

    all is correct ...
    that's really a mystery...
  • Does the airtime "ON Air" Light turn red?
  • Hey, do you get a play out if you force a default song instead of noise
     sudo nano /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_scripts/ls_script.liq


    Change
     default = amplify(0.00001, noise())
    
     default = rewrite_metadata([("artist","Airtime"), ("title", "offline")],default)

    to

    default = playlist(mode='random', "/path to a song folder/")

    then restart
     sudo service airtime-playout start

    that should force the liquid soap engine to play this song

    This will only force a song to play, it will not fix you play out problem, i wanted to see if the problem was in the airtime playlist portion, liquid soap portion, or the icecast.

    sorry for the late response, we are not under the same meridian Wink

    yes , an yes Wink
    Light is red, and I've try to modify ls_script.liq (reading directly files work)

    i've already try this Sad
    and always no change...
  • Hi Albert,

    What is the problem exactly? I didn't understand your post. You have no audio unless you restart airtime-playout?

    It's really stance in fact...
    I've no logs errors
    check airtime and system are ok
    but if i don't restarting the play out the show don't start
    I've try all is marked on the last post, but with no result

    the only way i've found is relaunch the play out with crontab at the beginning
    of the show...
  • Please attach your /var/log/airtime/pypo/ directory as a zip and ill take a look.

  • Hi guys, I'm having the same problem. In order to start a new show I have to restart liquidsoap using monit restart option.

    I will post that directory as soon as I can but am away from my server at the moment.
