    Unexpectedly airtime no longer able to connect to the streaming servers.
    It has happened several times already and when reinstalling "airtime" everything is back to work.
    Since this is a big problem give me a hand to do debugging?


    Airtime is running on a vps gandi.net along with other vhost for a drupal cms and drupal mobile cms.
    I have three streams.
    the first on localhost and is normally disabled because I use a relay server.


    The only combinations of events (but not repeatable) was a large size file uploadin through "add media" (100mb)

    Inaspettatamente airtime non riesce più a connettersi ai server di streaming.
    Mi è già successo altre volte e reinstallando airtime tutto ritorna a funzionare.
    Essendo questo un grosso problema mi date una mano a fare debug?


    Airtime gira su un vps gandi.net insieme ad altri vhost per un cms drupal e un cms drupal mobile.
    Ho tre flussi di stream.
    il primo su localhost e normalmente è disabilitato perchè utilizzo un server relay.

    L'unica combinazioni di eventi (ma non ripetibile) è stata un caricamente di file di grosse dimensione tramite "add media"

    With these commands returns to work everything.
    I do not think that manual intervention is the solution. :-)
    Also, when restart does not work.
    give me a hand to understand why crashes randomly?

    sudo -u pypo /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/airtime-liquidsoap &
    sudo service rabbitmq-server restart
    sudo service airtime-playout restart
    sudo service airtime-media-monitor restart 

    [Italian message]
    Con questi comandi ritorna a funzionare tutto.
    Io non penso che un intervento manuale sia la soluzione.:-)
    Inoltre quando riavvia non funziona.
    mi date una mano a capire perchè si blocca casualmente?

    What happens when you type

    "sudo service airtime-liquidsoap restart"

    Also, take a look into /etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg to ensure expected
    shoutcast/icecast server parameters are in there.

    This is the output
    Restarting Liquidsoap: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2957: No such process

    #########################################

    Done.

    The /etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg file is correct. In the past cases this file disappeared. the only way to have  consistency file and  right access was reinstall airtime or use the previous 4 commands. 
    I'm not sure that all commands and the order is important... 'cause the crash is random.
    I think the file is regenerated with data from postgres

    at 23:39 I did restart the server to make sure that Liquidsoap start correctly.
    For some reason the vps did not reboot.
    at 23:58 I decided to restart the vps.
    attached the two log files.
    I removed some sensitive information such as passwords and addresses streaming which are reported in the logs.



    ls_script.log.txt

    pypo.log.txt

    Friend!! You're asking WAY too much putting a full-blown CMS and Airtime on the very same VPS. Scale back your expectations. You could be maxing out your share of the CPU. The server could also be intermittently overbooked, too.

    the use of the processor when it is active only airtime (Liquidsoap) is 15%.
    The crash, random and are not related to the use of the cms than however we intend to migrate on a separate machine.
    With the cms I noticed peaks not more than 28%

    How many cores do you have available? I've noticed anything less than 2 is bad bad news. 4 is much better, especially if you're running 3 streams. That 15% seems WAY off in my opinion and shouldn't be trusted.

    hope someone knows the answer, I have the same situation. It was connected to the icecast server then went form being connected to "Getting information from the server...". Tried the suggestions in this thread and nothing worked. In fact it seems that the liquidsoad,cfg no longer exists.

    From the log files:

    2013/05/07 00:43:06 [decoder:3] Method "MAD" accepted "/var/tmp/airtime/pypo/cache/scheduler/112.mp3".
    2013/05/07 00:43:06 [cue_cut_5386:3] Cueing out...
    2013/05/07 00:43:06 [queue:3] Finished with "/var/tmp/airtime/pypo/cache/scheduler/242.mp3".

    All your files are finishing after 1 second.

    What is the output of

    sudo -u postgres psql -c "select count(*) from cc_files where cuein is null" airtime

    I had to reinstall the server because for some reason there were no more free inodes on the disk.
    This is very strange and I do not understand which component of airtime can consume all these inodes ...
    after reinstalling, and restore the airtime database the result of the query is as follows

     count
    -------
         0
    (1 row)

    I am very concerned that this might happen again. 3 is the reinstallation I have to do for problems that do not understand.

    Ok the next step is to run Liquidsoap manually from the terminal and see what is happening.

    Please do the following:

    Open /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/airtime-liquidsoap and change the following line from

        ls_path="/usr/bin/airtime-liquidsoap --verbose -f -d"                       

    to

        ls_path="/usr/bin/airtime-liquidsoap --verbose -f"                       

    Save the changes and exit. Now run the following:

    sudo -u pypo /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/airtime-liquidsoap

    If Liquidsoap crashes, it should give a better error message here.
