    Hi guys,



    I love the software so far, it really does a great job.

    I am however having an issue I could really use some help with.



    I like being able to setup shows and tmp accounts, thats great but
    when there isn't a show and there isn't anyone going live all I get is
    dead air, thats just no good.



    Is there some way, any way that I can have it stream out a playlist instead? I really need something on my station 24/7

    Hey Buddy.

    Airtime do not support this feature yet, so you need to modify your Liquidsoap script file.

    Open your ls_script.liq file located @ /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_scripts

    and locate the following lines:

    "master_dj_enabled = ref false
    live_dj_enabled = ref false
    scheduled_play_enabled = ref false"

    Just before these lines..insert the following:

    #default = amplify(id="silence_src", 0.00001, noise()) 
    #default = rewrite_metadata([("artist","Airtime Radio"), ("title", "Offline")],default) 
    music = playlist(mode='randomize',reload=1,reload_mode="rounds", "/yourmusicfolderlocation") 
    jingles = playlist(mode='randomize',reload=1,reload_mode="rounds", "/yourjinglesfolderlocation/") 
    default = rotate(weights=[1,3],[jingles,music]) 
    ignore(output.dummy(default, fallible=true)) 

    Modify the folders to your actual folders where the music and jingles are.

    and set the weights as you wish (1 jingle, 3 tracks,)

    Then restart liquidsoap: sudo service airtime-liquidsoap restart

    Goodluck m8.

    Reply to @DeAuthThis: 

    default = amplify(id="silence_src", 0.00001, noise())
default = rewrite_metadata([("artist","Airtime"), ("title", "offline")],default)
ignore(output.dummy(default, fallible=true))

#default = amplify(id="silence_src", 0.00001, noise()) 
#default = rewrite_metadata([("artist","Airtime Radio"), ("title", "Offline")],default) 
#music = playlist(mode='randomize',reload=1,reload_mode="rounds", "/home/cor/Music/playlist/") 
#jingles = playlist(mode='randomize',reload=1,reload_mode="rounds", "/home/cor/Music/jingles/") 
#default = rotate(weights=[1,3],[jingles,music]) 
#ignore(output.dummy(default, fallible=true))
    Notice you have 2 ignore statements, remove the first one and leave the bottom one..;)

    I'll give that a try, thank you very much

    EDIT

    I found it at this location
    /lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_scripts

    EDIT

    This just breaks it, my shoutcast server is nolonger getting a connection from airtime

    EDIT

    IF I connect to the master source then the server does start up, note that changing the file back does not solve the issue and the service "airtime-liquidsoap" according to ubuntu (even though I see it) says it does not exist (unrecognized service)

    File attached

    Note that I did comment out all the lines I added so I could get the server to connect again.
    Basically when I enable those lines Airtime says that its connected to shoutcast but the shoutcast server does not have any connections

    When I comment it back out and reboot the server it does connect
    ls_script.liq

    Hmmm something is up, doing that just killed the whole web interface, I'm going to mess with it a bit, I'll get back to you.

    I've gotta re-boot the server again

    EDIT

    yeah no idea what the heck happened, server is dead

    EDIT

    Server is back up, however once again airtime will not connect

    ok the above file works!

    Some how the media in my playlist/jingle folders was deleted -_- so the thing just went offline, I put music back in those folders and it started right up

    Hmmm :/ I just noticed that jingles never play, I can toss it up into the regular play list for now but... idk what the heck would cause that

    check that your folder locations are correct in the script..and there are no errors.

    go to -> /lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_scripts

    and run -> liquidsoap -c ls_script.liq


    Let me know if theres errors.

    wow... idk whats going on..

    I've got the server working again but not with the modification.
    I'm on ubuntu 10.04-4 with a fresh install..

    when I add the mod (from your first post) it doesn't connect to the shoutcast server

    Hi there,

    first thanks for your great work and good help !

    It's ok for me to diffuse 24/7 but i want to know if it's possible to show the artist and title of the song played in http://**:8000/api/live-info/?callback
    You know, in "current", "previous" and "next".
    Because, the name is showed in VLC (with m3u file), for ex, but not in api and i use it.

    I suppose that the solution is in this line code, exactly ?
    #default = rewrite_metadata([("artist","Airtime"), ("title", "offline")],default)
    Maybe, there is a line code in ls_script to show it ?

    Thanks a lot :) (and sorry for my bad english)

    Reply to @Raphael+Fery:

    Looking into the file ApiController.php and the function liveInfoAction. You do not need to touch Liquidsoap for this part.

    Ok, thanks, i will see it. :)

    #Edit : i give up, it's too complicated for me and i dont want of breaking something.
    I wait in the hope that general programming (24/7) is possible in a future release.
