[campcaster-dev] scheduler issues
  • i've had a few run-ins with the scheduler:

    1. i cannot stop a running broadcast once it begins to play. using the Live
    broadcast (somewhere inside there's a "stop" option) doesn't work.
    i actually had to reboot a machine in order to stop the play so i could play
    something from XMMS instead.
    >>> XML-RPC method 'stopcurrentlyplaying' return error message:
    faultcode:5010,faultstring:gstreamerplayer not opened yet

    2. is it possible to have a random playlist (or random songs) playing
    between scheduled broadcasts? cuz otherwise it

    3. as far as it seems, it's impossible to schedule a specific
    song/transmission in a specific time.
    so, if i have a show at 9 that takes an hour, and another show scheduled for
    10:30, i need to either:
    - create 2 seperate playlists for 2 single recordings.
    or
    - create 1 playlist with 30 minutes of random songs i need to start
    searching for.

    3. every now and then, while i travel the UI, i get random errors. this is
    one of them:
    Notice: Undefined index: id in
    /home/ora/src/campcaster/src/modules/htmlUI/var/html/ui_browser.php on line
    387

    4. is the crontab still getting wiped off when installing campcaster from
    svn?
