How can I install Airtime on Ubuntu 14.04?
  • I noticed the Trusty repository is not listed here: http://apt.sourcefabric.org/dists/
    Can Airtime be installed on Ubuntu 14.04? I tried editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file by adding deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ saucy main but it didn't help.

    It's not supported yet, I havn't tried to deploy Airtime in 14.04. Official apt-get repo won't be updated until solid test. But it shouldn't be hard by installing it with source code, small updates for installation script may be required. 
    Cloud Radio -> http://airtime.pro
  • Any movement on this?

    first step of the easy-setup procedure went well,
    but invoking the final installation-process resulted in an error message,
    stating that the paket airtime could not be found:

    any idea whats going wrong?

    Thanks!
    So at the moment there's only the directory trusty created on sourcefabric.org, 
    but airtime is not included in the respective subdirectories "packages".

  • I have 2 airtime servers running on Ubuntu 14.04, vps enviroment.

    I had a couple issues along the way but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a few google searches.

    They appear to be working great, until I went to use the "Add Media" feature.  I cannot add any content.
    From what I found something about 14.04 using PHP 5.5 and  Airtime 2.5 not supporting it. but 2.6 will.

    Anyone know a way I can fix the "Add Media" function, I have a hand full of DJ that just upload their content instead of going live.

    As Cliff said : You can't for the moment...
  • I'm running Airtime on Trusty, some problem but is possible to solve it.
    Try to set the repository source to saucy this tricks work for me

    this is not recommended, wait for the 2.5.2 
  • I am running on Trusty as well, not by choice, but this was the VPS that was given to me to admin :<. 

    * Work around was to clone the airtime repo from github
    * then re-run the virtualenv-install.sh script from Airtime/python_apps/python-virtualenv.
    * Restart your airtime-{playout,media-monitor,liquidsoap) daemons

    Regarding the virtualenv. There was a conflict with the IO module (_io import). This seems to have resolved things.

  • Jesse, thanks for the tips.  I followed the instructions but after I restart daemons airtime-liquidsoap isn't running.

    I've  been restarting with invoke-rc.d as in the manual.  Is that correct?  I've been using start-with-monit and restart-with-monit.

    e.g invoke-rc.d airtime-liquidsoap restart-with-monit  (Well, start because liquidsoap isn't running. restart for others)

    (I've also tried without monit, and using service command).

    I installed using apt-get, with repository added to /etc/apt/sources.list.  I used trusty.  Would I have more luck with saucy?

    Any suggestions?

    Output of airtime-check-system follows below and I have uploaded the tail end of /var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log.

    Thanks for any help.



    I initially started on 14.04 but after hitting hurdles I dropped to 12.04 and got everything running (after a few hiccups.)  I still have that running on a virtual server.  I would rather get 14.04 running to have a more recent distro so everything else is up to date.

  • Hello! This OS isn't supported yet and trying to force it isn't a solution. Wait for the dev team to work their magic. And switch to Debian 7 anyway.
  • 14.04 is now safe to install,
    My desktop play-out  which power the tunein-api is  run on it for the past week ar so without hitch.
    Here are my take on it

    do number 1, if you upgrade (not Recommended)
    do number 2 a clean install
    If you have issues post it there and or create your own post or thread on the issues you have and  I will answer you.

  • Thanks Voisses.  Great to have the up-to-date information.  I'm still having problems but I will switch to that thread.

    Airtime in my opinion is basically three components
    • The Interface  - where all the inputs are entered - ZendFramework - like a CMS
    • The Engine core - who process all the request and send to the Outputs - Liquidsoap
    • The Outputs     - The servers - Shoutcast/Icecast\Peercast/Freecast/Multicast

    The interface can only do one way communication to the engine and outputs.

    So here are the options on say

    I do my interfaces like this

    https://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/17831/ever-want-to-build-your-own-test-container-and-pimp-the-ui-another-in-101-series

    Then I send the channels to the core and use a n if blocks to tell the engine liquidsoap what to do. remember multiple script of liquidsoap can run on one machine

    • Three Airtime Pro Servers ( $50US per month budget)
    • Three Local Interface ( you can use virtuallization )  or send  to Three servers  on a local  lowcost equipment like the Pi (one 0ff cost)
    • If you are skilfully enough you can  modify the core and set up any amount of channels you want>this is what I currently do see this post http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/radiopi.html
      # Basic source
      jazz = channel_radiopilote("jazz")
      discoqueen = channel_radiopilote("discoqueen")
      # Avoid skiping blank with classic music !!
      classique = channel_radiopilote(skip=false,"classique")
      That70Sound = channel_radiopilote("That70Sound")
      metal = channel_radiopilote("metal")
      reggae = channel_radiopilote("reggae")
      Rock = channel_radiopilote("Rock")

    look also at pound or nginx 

    look at this also
