Martin told me that Airtime 2.1.0 validates files imported into the media library to prevent Liquidsoap playback problems (in another thread). In particular, I had problems with mono recordings because Airtime expected stereo encoding. The validation process failed in Add Media and the media-monitor log showed warnings that the files were not added to the media library, but the web interface did not tell me about these failed files. I would like to see which files did not make it to the media libary and, if possible, a reasonable explanation as to what the problem was - this part is probably just a bug report because that is expected behavior.

This leads me the feature request, I would like a way to remove these files from the uploaded folder (by default they are in /srv/airtime/stor/imported) so I can attempt to fix the problems and re-upload them. As it is now, if I fix the files and try to re-upload them I get a duplicate file error and the upload fails. One possible way to do this is to allow these problem files to be added to the media library, but tag them as unplayable by liquidsoap and prevent them from being added to a playlist (and show). Then add a command in the Playlist Builder to remove/delete the selected file(s). Another useful feature for this scenario would be to be able to only show files that have problems so we don't have to look through a list of thousands of files scanning for them.

Another possibility to help find these problem files is to create a separate folder for them so they never get added to the 'imported' folder. Instead, transfer them directly from 'organize' to 'problems'. This might make removing them easier and streamline the re-upload process.
