    Here is a modification with recording that output a file every hour

    I start this New post because  I want it to include features of  how to Use Sox and ffmpeg  and some scripts to do wonders
    This First section covers recording from the Input  a file which will done with new file name every hour
    Refer to this section for more details

    The second section shows how to record Airtime output.
    I chose this method so that you can record what is output before stream that is without sound card attached

    #######################################################################################################
    # Input from ALSA

    studioInput = input.alsa()
    urlstream=input.http("http://localhost:port/")

    # The output file
    # to be saved with parameters date and time
    outputfile = "/tmp/myrecordfile-%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S.mp3"


    studioInput= amplify(2.0,input.alsa())

    myInput=mksafe(studioInput)
    myurlstream =mksafe(urlstream)


    StreamstudioInput = fallback(track_sensitive = false,[strip_blank(max_blank=10.,threshold=-35.,myInput),myurlstream])

    output.icecast( %mp3(stereo=true, bitrate=128, samplerate=44100),
                  password = "hackme", mount = "yourmount",
                  name = "metatag",
                  genre = "genre",
                  timeout = 10.0,
                  url = "yourwebsite",
                  description = "yourdescription",
                  StreamstudioInput             

                   )


    #with a newfile each time its open [append] and open that file every xxx time [reopen_when]
    #{0m0s} is every hour
    output.file(%mp3, output,fallible=true,append=true,reopen_when={0m0s},on_stop=shutdown,studioInput)


    ###############################END############################################################

    Steps
    1. The Inputs
    2. The backup Stream [ you can even use one your airtime stream like http://localhost:8000/stream]
    3. The output file  you want to save
    4. Amplify your input so it might give a better sound (optional)
    5. Make the source fallible
    6. Set up a fallback with silence that will cut off when there is no mic and either external stream or stream your output from Airtime
    7. Output  to Icecast as a Mount
    8. Output to a file and make a new file every hour

    You might have to do a few things such as

    Tweak the ls-script

    setup your card

    Section 2
    For those who do not use  any input but want to record there whole Airtime Output before being streamed

    Just used the line  in green

    #************************************************************************************************************
    # The output file make sure you Airtime can write to this file eg. /tmp/myrecordfile
    # use permission 777 on other archive or file
    # to be saved with parameters date and time
    outputfile = "/tmp/myrecordfile-%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S.mp3"

    #with a newfile each time its open [append] and open that file every xxx time [reopen_when]
    #{0m0s} is every hour
    output.file(%mp3, outputfile,fallible=true,append=true,reopen_when={0m0s},on_stop=shutdown,s)

    #done Bam


    #************************************************************************************************************

    eg. For 4hrs just change reopen_when={4h0m0s}

    • You can use a cron job or php to compress or delete this file
    •  If its store in /tmp/ remember its erased at any reboot so chose an archive directory eg Nfs and
    • set as watch folder for rebroadcast and use calendar to rebroadcast
    • If you want to save the recordings into wav,it require a little more ,I will post the solution soon

    Place this  at line  283 of the Ls-script to record everything including DJs
    Place this  at line  239 of the Ls-script to record everything except DJs

    Good Luck

    Nice! I use the section 2, it works perfect. The WAV solution would be interesting too ;)

    However, is it possible to choose time slots (ie. if I only want the 20:00-21:00 slot) ?
    Thanks
