Airtime Uploads Blank Audio Files
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Dane TerrellDane Terrell
    Posts: 10Member
    Hello all. I've installed airtime on my decicated server. Since I host my own website on apache, there's no need to do a virtual host for airtime, I merely copy the main folder in my server directory and can log in. The problem that I'm having is when I try to add media, the files appear to upload fine to the default directory, but the library and default storage remain blank.

    Here is my media monitlor log

    Restarting media monitor curiously brings up an error saying can't kill process. Can anyone help?

    It seems media monitor cannot connect to Rabbitmq Server. Please check the /etc/airtime/api_client.cfg and airtime.conf

    If I'm hosting my own website, what should the rabbitmy server be? Currently it is at localost...should I put in the name of the virtual host for my website and the ip address? What exactly is required.

    Usually "localhost" is ok if Airtime and Rabbitmq are located in same host. Are the host settings in api_client.cfg and airtime.conf correct? Please check the output of "sudo airtime-check-system".

    Okay, so I made sure that everything that said host pointed to localhost...nothing. Now I get a 404 error when I put in localhost/airtime/public/index.php to try to access the admin page. On my server, two virtual hosts can't co-exist. If I copy the airtime folder in my var/www/ folder, it creates chaoes for my self hosted website.

    I am beyond frustrated at this point.

    Oh, so you put airtime under sub-folder? Did you set basedir in airtime.conf and api_client.cfg?
    It should be airtime/public/ in your case.

    var//www is where I have my website's files. Whenever I put the airtime folder in var/www it messes up my website. If this is what I'm supposed to do, please let me know how they can exist in harmony. If I am to use localhost, are you saying in the config files to change the base directory to airtime/public?

    Sorry but I kind of need a step by step

    I also ran the airtime system check, it showed media monitor as failed as well as a few other things.

    Here's some simple steps, and there's also a wiki page about that, link:
    1. Say /var/www is the document root, then copy /usr/share/airtime to /var/www/airtime. It looks like:
    ~$ ls /var/www/airtime/
    application  build  library  locale  public  tests
    2. Then edit /etc/airtime/airtime.conf and api_client.cfg, set basedir as:
    base_dir=airtime/public/
    3. Restart services:
    sudo service airtime-playout restart
    sudo service airtime-media-monitor restart
    Now URL http://yoursite/airtime/public/ is ready to use.

    Thanks, I have it installed with no conflicts. One problem persists, uploaded files are not showing in the library. They are clearly uploaded in the /srv/airtime/ folder but not appearting in the library interface in admin window. Media montor restart doesn't work.

    Now media monitor restart says error can't kill process

    Please find it by "ps aux | grep media-monitor"
    should be like: "root       836  0.0  1.9  56080 10080 ?        Sl   11:47   0:06 python /usr/lib/airtime/media-monitor/media_monitor.py"

    kill the process by "sudo kill -9 [process_id]"

    and manually start it by "sudo service airtime-media-monitor start"

    what about audio files not appearing in the library but showing up in the /srv/airtime folder? Do I need an apache virtualhost for localhost eventhough I'm copying airtime into a subdirectory?

    Thanks

    If files have been already uploaded into /srv/airtime/stor, they will be added to Library as soon as media-monitor comes back on duty. No more setting is required.

    so I can delete the airtime virtual host in apache2 folder and add airtime to the subdirectory folder as explained, restart media monitor how you showed me and they should appear in the library?

    When I try sudo kill -9 [media-monitor]

    I get the error message

    Usage:

    OK that means media-monitor is not running, just execute "sudo monit monitor airtime-media-monitor", and check the output of airtime-check-system after a while.

    And don't forget to mask the api_key because it's important for your Airtime when you post it out.
