Liquidsoap engine is continually restarting
  • Hi,

    I know that the issue about "No On Air"-light is very common and I've tried to search the forums and look at the log-files, but without any luck.
    I've installed Airtime using the "Expert Install" as I though that was the easiest to understand (in terms of the steps to do).

    I've no problem to login to Airtime and I can stream to Icecast through Mixxx, but when I do a airtime-check-system I get the message that "Liquidsoap engine is continually restarting", that it has been running for 0 seconds and "LIQUIDSOAP_PROCESS_ID" is blank. I guess all my troubles are related to this, so my question is.. how can I verify that it is installed and what the problem might be? How may I re-install/start Liquidsoap?

    At first I looked at the log-file (/var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log), but when I deleted it (just wanted to reset it), it's not populated any more, even when I'm creating a new log-file with the same name as pypo. :( I've also read the FAQ and my timezone and other suggestions seems all to be correct. Airtime is installed on a virtual, local test-server and everything else seems to be working perfectly.

    Seems to work perfectly... Any ideas what I might try?

  • Ended up re-installing the system and everything just worked. :)
  • Hi,

    Next time you can run "sudo service airtime-playout restart" to restart liquidsoap.
