    Hello 

    I am new to airtime but not new to icecast or shoucast related technologies. We own a non-profit Political radio station in Athens Greece. We have at the time 3 studios in 3 different places in Greece. We broadcast through fm too in our own antenna. 

    We are using darkice for streaming currently from our icecast2 server.

    I have a virtual ubuntu server 10.04 for testing the air time 1.9.5 in a xen server enviroment. I want to use it as icecast2 server and playlist server the times we do not have a live program.

    i will use fallback sources for icecast so the producers will open the stream and play and when they finish they close it and continue play the playlist or the pre-recorded shows.

    i am having this 3 problems 

    a) when i tried to upload through the web interface of air music i am getting the http error on the files. when i upload through ftp or sftp files to a monitored folder on the server the files appear correctly to the playlist builder.
    b) i see test program start immediately after the scheduled time but i cannot hear anything from the vlc player nor web player i made for testing 
    c) my stream is mp3 and in my main server i user mountpoint with no .mp3 for example ip:8000/playlist instead of ip:8000/playlist.mp3. I have tried both but the problem is the same. i have cut down all vorbis to false and when i  remove "#" from  #output_bitrate = 128 and #output_samplerate = 44100 and #output_stereo = true the stream remains down ... i tried even to connect it to a remote server in a new source i created and i get the same problem ...

    a) problem with your php.ini
    delete the # before upload_tmp_dir=/tmp

    b) perhaps a problem of ip, but without more informations...

    c) I don't really understand what you want to do here...
    a shoutcast stream ? an mp3 or ogg icecast stream (foreign or local) ?

    a) have you restarted apache ? www-data have rights for writing in /tmp ?

    b) perhaps my sentence is not correct, sorry. have you the same ip configured in /etc/hosts , in your apache vhost and in yours airtime files config ?

    c) I'm not sure you're understanding how to configure icecast, try to find some help on icecast configuration (google is your friend) or give  a login/pass as source and relay in icecast, airtime do the rest

    a) i did that before testing... i am experienced linux administrator.. i had a miss regarding the php.ini parameters but this is the murphy's law 
    Some files are uploading correctly now some others dont files less than 6-7 mb are ok files bigger than that are having the same problem 

    b) you are correct regarding the hosts file (brand new installation) apache is correct setup
    c) i am icecast specialist regarding the server and icecast.xml ... as well as shoutcast i already have an online radio for 3 years now with different setups .. i was wondering regarding the settings in airtime in which i am not very experienced (to tell you the truth i am a newbie to it) i just wonder ... regarding the settings.

    anyway you think it's on icecast.xml the problem ? i will look into it
