mixed sets length suddenly gets cut in half - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

dave macd

Hi

i play mixed sets of approx 1 hour on the radio - but for some reason - sets which have uploaded correctly, suddenly have their play time halved as per the y 2 images below.

if i preview the file- it is full length, but if i program it into a show, it will only play the reduced length

Two thoughts.

Did you apply the Silan fix or not? You do not say. Silan recalculates the length of the track. Silan was quite old and uses FFMpeg for various things, but, FFMpeg had got updated in the newer Airtime Distro. Thus the FFMpeg version was out of step and the combination was coming back with wrong, sometimes VERY wrong answers.
I never see this on mine since I encoded my tracks to EXACTLY the final broadcasted format.before uploading, even without the Silan ugrade. This has proven to be useful on Armh machines here until I can compile a native fix for them.

Hello John,

I had installed AirTime version is 2.5.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-44-generic x86_64)

I have used "airtime-easy-setup" script to install AirTime on server like in this blog

Could you please now help me for how we can update silan using http://apt.sourcefabric.org/pool/main/s/silan/ ??

Thanks

AH..
At the top of the instructions that you linked to is this
"It’s recommend installing on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS"

2.5.1 was designed for Ubuntu 12.04LTS
2.5.2 was designed for Ubuntu 14.04LTS

The silan fix is for 2.5.2RC1 and higher.

Did you try uploading some tracks in the same format as your output stream

Has anybody got an ARMH processor version working? I compiled it all with no errors but it does not work. I have another way around it, but it would be nice if it did work.

Howdy, Stranger!
