Airtime stream intermittently disappearing.

    Hey There,

    I run Airtime on an Ubuntu 12.04 server.  I am experiencing a problem in which intermittently and at seemingly random times, my streaming mountpoint disappears.  Player widgets will stop working, and accessing the mountpoint's URL gives "The File requested could not be found".  The mountpoint also disappears from the list in the Icecast2 admin page.  However the stream in Airtime's admin settings still shows up green and says it is "Connected to the streaming server".  

    My airtime-check-system is all green.  
    AIRTIME_SERVER_RESPONDING      = OK
    KERNEL_VERSION                 = 3.13.0-35-generic
    MACHINE_ARCHITECTURE           = x86_64
    TOTAL_MEMORY_MBYTES            = 16431844
    TOTAL_SWAP_MBYTES              = 16774140
    AIRTIME_VERSION                = 2.5.1
    OS                             = Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS x86_64
    CPU                            = Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5345  @ 2.33GHz
    WEB_SERVER                     = Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
    PLAYOUT_ENGINE_PROCESS_ID      = 1368
    PLAYOUT_ENGINE_RUNNING_SECONDS = 370
    PLAYOUT_ENGINE_MEM_PERC        = 0.1%
    PLAYOUT_ENGINE_CPU_PERC        = 0.0%
    LIQUIDSOAP_PROCESS_ID          = 2307
    LIQUIDSOAP_RUNNING_SECONDS     = 306
    LIQUIDSOAP_MEM_PERC            = 0.2%
    LIQUIDSOAP_CPU_PERC            = 1.1%
    MEDIA_MONITOR_PROCESS_ID       = 1363
    MEDIA_MONITOR_RUNNING_SECONDS  = 370
    MEDIA_MONITOR_MEM_PERC         = 0.2%
    MEDIA_MONITOR_CPU_PERC         = 0.0%
    -- Your installation of Airtime looks OK!

    Restarting icecast and airtime services does not fix the problem.  
    The only fix I've found so far is to manually disable and then re-enable the stream in Airtime admin panel.

    Has anyone experienced this before?  Thanks for any help and let me know of any other logs/configs/info I should post.

    Check your internet connection and dns
    best to set your machine as the host.

    I have a router from cis... that had cause that,I ditch it bought a cheap $10 router.Never seen that again in two years.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The server is on a university network, and as such the network is inaccessible for me to try this kind of fix. I've rebooted the server and reset some configs to defaults, and will be seeing if it alleviates the problem at all. I'm really hoping it's not a network issue.

    Two Things you can do

    1. You can fixed the IP on the computer,some network admin hates this but since it linux you have less issues to deal with,so assured your admin its okay,install a firewall on the machine and only allow what you need like web (port 80 and 443) ,ssh (use a custom port),your airtime  stream port 5080.
    2. Install icecast on the machine put on whatever port then set this local machine to that stream port.This will be your local listening and you can look at it when the other port disconnect and if it stays green,then definitely your issue is the network.Do not forward that port you just want to listen to it directly from that machine

    Good Luck
