Airtime 2.4 beta3 - Airtime Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Martin Konecny · Post edited by Martin Konecny at 2013-06-08 23:21:39

Hi all,

Beta 3 now available. We attempted to address almost all issues reported in beta2. Please report all new issues in this thread. We are hoping for an RC next week, so test, test, test!

Users who install the beta will be able to upgrade to the final without any issues, so no need to wait until then :)

http://apt.sourcefabric.org/misc/airtime_2.4.0~beta3_all.deb

Edit: As Albert mentioned, please make sure you get the Liquidsoap 1.1.1 binaries from

http://apt.sourcefabric.org/misc/liquidsoap_1.1.1/

Harri Nyman

After upgrade from 2.3.1 to 2.4b3 airtime does not seem to be able to connect to icecast any more - airtime-check-system says everything is ok.

What makes things even more interesting, I have NOT changed any settings on icecast, it worked with 2.3, not so much with 2.3.1

No meaningful error shows up on logs, I'm confused :-<

Albert FR

that's normal
airtime 2.4b3 is not ready for upgrade from 2.3 (but from 2.4b2 to 2.4b3)
in this case, you must also upgrade liquidsoap to 1.1.1

you can find it, here : http://apt.sourcefabric.org/misc/

and do also an :

sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi,

after updating from 2.4b2 to 2.4b3

I got this:

(root@myserver ~)$ airtime-check-system

AIRTIME_STATUS_URL = http://airtime.myserver.fm:80/api/status/format/json/api_key/%%api_key%%

AIRTIME_SERVER_RESPONDING = FAILED

-- There appears to be a problem with your Airtime installation.

-- Please visit http://wiki.sourcefabric.org/x/HABQ

I've checked these files:

/etc/hosts

/etc/airtime/api_client.cfg

in both files there is record for host : localhost.

Harri Nyman

Upgraded both liquidsoap and airtime - I still don't understand why nothing goes to icecast :-/

And, of course I've done system upgrades, all of 'em. This is .. annoying, to say it mildly.

So I'm stuck until 2.4 comes out?

Albert FR

what said /var/log/airtime ?

Harri Nyman

That's the problematic part - no errors. Same goes with icecast - sometimes debugging installs like this one is pretty time-consuming.

Harri Nyman

Ahah, found at least something - got 401 errors in icecast log. Checked password and usernames multiple times - they are correct but still those errors in log.

Dang!

Bassem

for some reason installer didnt update url in these files:

/etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg

/etc/airtime/airtime.conf

after manually modifying airtime-check-system returns "OK" :)

Please fix the Double scrollbar Bug in Library view. [CC-4504]

Martin Konecny

Hi @Harri,

You should see something in /var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log
if you cannot connect to Icecast. Please check this file.

@Bassem,

We don't really touch the config files on upgrade. If that value was there
for 2.3.1, then it will remain in 2.4.

Are you saying the upgrade modified the config files?

@Martin

Found the troublemaker - and, after long hard though I decided to wait untill 2.4 comes out of beta. Had to reinstall icecast and airtime to get back online.

Martin Konecny

What was the troublemaker? If it only affects you, there is a good chance
the 2.4 final will have the same problem unless you help us :)

With beta3 I still have the following:

-BPM still not being read. After upgrade all db BPM values went to "0". Is there a way I can update the db with the correct values by re-reading the files?

-CueIN still at "0". Did update cc_files set silan_check='f'; but no changes. Maybe I need to wait a bit?

-At the cross point Track A still mutes at the start of the crossfade of Track B.

-On Air light still goes off at the crosspoint and then returns.

Harri Nyman

@martin The major problem maker in fact was icecast - and some cookbook configs for it - things started to make sense after reinstalling icecast server with default configuration files.

Martin Konecny

Airtime shouldnt touch any icecast settings during upgrade. This was the
case for you?

New problem. I cannot access airtime. For some reason the password seems to have changed. I tried changing it directly from the db but it is still not working. Is there a way to change it? I tried the following but it did not work:
update cc_subjs set pass = md5('passowrd') where login = 'admin';

Martin Konecny

Anything in /var/log/airtime/zendphp.log

?

I upgraded to beta 3 but before that I commented line 7 in /etc/monit/conf.d/monit-airtime-liquidsoap.cfg. Now everything seems to work fine and I can test further.

Martin Konecny

What OS version are you running?

And... I found a bug. :)

I scheduled two shows as on the picture:

In both cases there was silence on output for first 2 songs. On the 3rd the "on air" switched on and the music started to come out. Any ideas?

Logs in the attachment.

Reaz Baksh

Re installed Airtime beta3 and now have access. BPM is still all "0" and Cue_IN is all "0.0" with the silan_check for all files set to FALSE. I'm hoping that this False will force it to be rechecked. Checked to see silan is working with ps -ef | grep silan but it does show as being up.

On this version also I noticed that Smart Blocks does not have a length value displayed. The value is shown when in edit mode.

Reaz Baksh · Post edited by Reaz Baksh at 2013-06-09 22:59:34

Silan is now working. Cue_in values are changing so it is working. Just the BPM thing is still 0.

----

There now seems to be a problem with this. It looks like silan is working but it is not updating the db. I've attached the pypo.log:

Martin Konecny

@Marcin,

That is defn a bug. How exactly did you scheduled those shows so that there
is no end time?

Hi Martin,

Actually I cloned airtime vps instance, and in the new instance I did the upgrade.

of course in the cloned vps there is a new hostname and new ip address.

I was expecting deb installer or dpk-reconfigure to handle that, but it didn't.

So I change everything to localhost to get "OK".

BTW, the issue appeared with RAbbitMQ to, and was fixed reinstalling airtime package again on the original VPS. Anyway, I get used to RabbitMQ issues. :)

@Reaz,

Ticket for BPM problem is submitted, thank you for that.

Martin Konecny

Hi @Reaz,

I just looked into the BPM issue - currently we only support BPM reported by the file's metadata. We don't actually calculate this. This would be a good feature to add for the next version of Airtime...unfortunately we are too close to release to add this for 2.4.

Naomi

@bitdevil

the double scrollbar bug has been fixed now.

Reaz Baksh

Hi Cliff, Martin

All files I have has the BPM within the id3 metadata of the MP3 files. Version 2.3.1 was able to read the file but 2.4, all Beta versions, was not reading them. Now, maybe I'm using a different id3 version than what Airtime expects? I believe I'm using id3v2 although I need to fully check.

Martin Konecny

@Reaz,

Please do the following

sudo apt-get install python-pip

sudo pip install mutagen

mid3v2 --list <filename>

You should see a line indicating the file's BPM. In my case I see "TBPM=100". Please verify this is the case for you.

Reaz Baksh · Post edited by Reaz Baksh at 2013-06-10 18:54:43

mid3v2 on my file gives me TBPM=139.61 which is the correct BPM. I added the same file and the BPM in the DB shows "0".

Nolan Wagner

How would I go about using this with nginx?

Marcin Tym

@Martin

I scheduled two 20-minute show for the time given in the jpeg attached earlier. Both shows were repetetive (no end date), linked and filled with 20-minute dynamic smart list. Nothing unusual i guess.... Do you need some more specifics?

Cliff Wang

@Nolan,

Nginx is not officially supported. However, Airtime has install_for_nginx script under install folder.

Roger Wilco

What is the expected behavior for a running smart playlist if the Default Fade In, Fade Out, and Crossfade duration times are changed? Do changes go live immediately? Or is a new show/list necessary?

Roger Wilco

Still experiencing intermittent metadata hanging between songs. Song A will transition to Song B in audio but Song A remains displayed in client. Sometimes Song C will force Song A out.

Cliff Wang

@Roger,

The updates on Default Fade in/out and Crossfade won't take effect until scheduling new items or generating new playlists/smartblocks.

Roger Wilco

OK, that makes sense. The default Fade In/Out time should probably be 0.0 and not 0.5, though. I've seen other users get frustrated or confused by this behavior...

Cliff Wang

@Roger,

I'm listening at your radio station, crossfade seems work fine on current show.

Jason Chapman

Experiencing the same issues as Roger Wilco:

"Still experiencing intermittent metadata hanging between songs. Song A will transition to Song B in audio but Song A remains displayed in client. Sometimes Song C will force Song A out. "

Thanks @Naomi but have you also seen the other Library views?

CC-4504 : Double scrollbars in Library view
/Showbuilder: open
/Library: fixed
/Calendar-Showbuilder: open

This is a really improvement for the next release. \:D/

How about an internal update feature, which mainly fixes minor bugs?

Cliff Wang

@Roger @Jason,

Thanks you for reporting that, we have ticket about that with your help.

Liking it, it's a lot faster than 2.3.1, and LOVE the 'Scheduled' feature. And I seem to now be able delete/edit repeating shows after they started - which will be a great time saver, as deleting/recreating was a major faff.

One disappointment though - linking shows? Would be far more useful if you could link shows daily - ie. different time slots on a day? Not really sure how useful it is to have the same content weekly - kind of is for my weekend repeats, but being able to link timeslots in a day would be far more useful...this is something I have to do manually (reason is: people in different timezones, so what's UK evening slot is lunchtime or afternoon US, so I reschedule some of the shows for early morning UK time)

Oh I spoke to soon - also had problems with icecast2. It's all setup as before, no configs have changed since 2 weeks ago when I last did a live broadcast.

Checked - passwords, mountpoints etc are all as they should be in the icecast XML and Airtime's stream menu, so the same as when I last successfully did a live broadcast. Only thing has changed is the 2.4 beta upgrade and liquidsoap 1.1.1.

I cannot connect at all now - well it connects in Traktor and Butt, but Airtime doesn't see or play the stream at all? Using Master stream, it should override (tried with and without a file playing)

Any idea how to downgrade or fix this? Or do I have to wait weeks before I can broadcast again?!?

Martin Konecny

@Tim

Please check the logs, there have been no changes regarding Icecast or how
we use it.

Also can't seem to be able to save the stream settings - when you click Save now it goes to a page that's blank apart from the menu over the top - and when you check back the settings haven't saved.

Really good Idea...
Is it possible to link any existent Show via Context Menu ? (illustrated in the picture)

Howdy, Stranger!
