Private user music library
  • I noticed everybody on Airtime can see sets and music in the libraries folder.
    Isn't there a option to make the libraries private for each DJ except for admin ?
    Would be nice, since DJ's aren't suppose to be able to see all users sets and songs.

    Please help me :)

  • I think while the library as a whole is not a feature,The playlist are private.
    see https://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CC-4095
    and search if there are similar case,if not you can recommend a feature request.

    Have you tested it with Watched folders.I have not but its worth a try


    Good Luck Voisses

  • Thing is, I have often events on the radio with DJ sets.
    I want the organiser to have a location to upload them securely away from other DJ's and events organised on my radio.
    Now every DJ can see all sets uploaded by other DJ's.
    Otherwise I will have to hack it in myself.
  • This http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/automated-file-import/ should help

    Just
    • rather than use uploads ,just create a directory for each user like john,jane,cane,and pain
    • Now customise your own bash script
    • If you want the files to be imported in the Airtime library then use the one shown in the illustration,you can chose not to put in the line 
      # Clean the incoming directory to save disk space

      rm -r /srv/airtime/uploads/incoming/*
    • if you have enough disk space
    • or just create watch directories for each
    • what I do is create another subdirectory,make that the 
    watch folder and allow that user to place the songs 
    they want to play at each playout in the subdirectory.


    If you are good at linux use a full blown ftp server like vsftpd read here
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/vsftpd
    where you can set up things like limits to size of directory,
    and limit that person from seeing any other directory (chroot)
    then make the user a member of the pypo and audio group
    Hope this point you in the right direction

  • Thanks for your info.
    But wouldn't that import the files again in the library that is publically accessible by all DJ's?
    The whole thing is to have private libraries, so when a DJ logs in Airtime, that he/she/it only seeing the tunes and sets and everything, that he created/uploaded, but not seeing from other DJ's.
    Would be nice that for example the admin could upload tunes and everything that could get a flag "public" or "private".
