Uploading Files issue (intermittent media monitor) - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

dave del rizzo

Hi All,

Running Airtime 2.5.1 on Ubuntu LTS 12.04 (precise).

We are running 24/7, play out is great, no real issues. We are working Airtime decently, and it is behaving very well for the most part.

Lately, We've noticed that the occasional file upload (via the GUI) will stop after a few files. If I restart the media monitor, the files will appear, but only after I restart the media monitor. airtime-check-system shows no issues:

AIRTIME_STATUS_URL = http://peach:80/api/status/format/json/api_key/%%api_key%%

AIRTIME_SERVER_RESPONDING = OK

MACHINE_ARCHITECTURE = i686

-- Your installation of Airtime looks OK!

I have seen this problem in posts dating back over a year ago, but none of the fixes (other than restarting the media-monitor) are practical. I'm not interested in wiping the library and starting over if it can at all be helped, there are too many files, and it would be a nightmare...

Anyhow, I have included the most recent media monitor log, which has me restarting the media monitor at 2015-01-05 21:36:22 or so.

I see that there are some processes that keep saying things like 'We have 34 requests waiting to be launched' and 'Attempting request with 450 items'... not sure if that's a clue or not... Anyhow, I have attached the file.

If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated. I'm a software guy, but not super proficient at sys admin, but I can manage.... I just don't want to have to restart the media monitor every hour while my dis are uploading music/files.

Thanks in advance!
