This appears to be the most stable release so far. I've had no major problems with four installations. A few quirks do appear in the minimal install. When I leave the media folders set to the defaults (/srv/airtime/stor/) the installer preserves the database. However, when the media is in a non-standard location - I have two - the installer wipes the Airtime database and I have to change the media folder location manually in the web interface. This has the unfortunate consequence of wiping out my playlists.
I had no problems with the full install on either Ubuntu 12.04 or 10.04 server - everything behaved as expected. I was very happy to discover that the add media process is about 4x faster than before - good work, team! I can now import about 350GB across the network in less than two hours. Support for network storage devices is very good and I have moved most of my media onto NAS.
I haven't checked recording or live functions yet, but I do not expect significant changes between Beta 6 and RC 1.
Take a look at the attached screen shot from my 10.04 server installation. Notice that the font sizes are much larger than those used by 12.04 and this causes some of the menus to overlap on a 1024x768 desktop (notice HELP/admin|Logout).
I tried updating from beta4 by using a diff tool and changing the db schema to equal the state for each update in between. All seemed to work well except the system clock and prev/current/next all seem to be blank
There will probably be something in the JavaScript logs of your browser (press ctrl-shift-j in Chrome), to help you figure out what's wrong with your database :)
nothing in the zend log but my error log says the the class Application_Common_DateHelper is not found in ApiController.php Thing is it is there in the application folder
Hmm. That is probably a problem with mixing beta4 and RC (there is no proper upgrade script between these). Try removing file /usr/share/airtime/applications/models/DateHelper.php
arghhhhhh it persists not matter whati can uninstall and reinstalll and it still happens but if i upload the db to my test machine with a fresh system install of airtime it works fine
