Live recording of show includes few seconds of previous show...

    With our stations live recordings from remote DJs dialling in to the server we have a few seconds of their last track on the recording before the new show starts.

    Is there a way to adjust the settings on that somehow to avoid that.

    And also, is there a way to have Airtime (or the software powering it) to automatically add an ident at the beginning of the recording OR to play an ident automatically at the beginning of the slot.

    Thanks for any assistance :)

    the best way i have found to fix something like this is to use icecream to record....  and put it in a cronjob (user specific) so it starts automatically


    install on ubuntu 
    sudo apt-get install icecream

    to create a test recording (everyminute till you get it right)\:
    */1 * * * * TZ="America/New_York"  perl /usr/bin/icecream --debug --name='test-\%Y-\%m\%d\%s'              --stop 1min   http://shoutcast_or_icecast_ address_ here >> /home/user/icecreamtest.log 

    0 23  * * 1 TZ="America/New_York"  perl /usr/bin/icecream --debug --name='showname-\%Y-\%m\%d' --stop 120min http://shoutcast_or_icecast_ address_ here >> /home/user/icecream.log
    # so the above would record at 11 PM New York TIme with a file name of showname-year-month-day.mp3 then stop after 120 min and output errors etc to icecream.log this part is not neccessary, but might help initially

    use a cronjob calculator to make it easy like this http://cron.nmonitoring.com/cron-generator.html

    just remember if you do a cronjob as root , it will stick the files in root and you may forget look for them or find them

    If you want to dabble your feet in a little dirty coding
    I have done some thing here

    https://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/15915/record-output-to-a-file-every-xx-time-from-airtime-output-or-input-alsamicand-icecast-how-to

    but mitz flor did a write up on recording
    https://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/16372/scheduled-recording-of-web-streams

    and also I thing there is an hack job somewhere under airtime hacks.
    https://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/17659/simple-method-for-recording-and-broadcasting-simultaneously-sound-card-not-necessarily-requir

    If you want to roll up yoursleves,I will post a write up soon on using ajax,little php and js where you can actual manual make a stop and start recording button.

    but I am afraid the only way to insert indent is to start  your recroding like say  1 minute earlier create a minute long mp3 prelude wiith 10secs silence in audacity then you can indent the track after completion

    do almost the same with the end

    Thanks both for your comments. Once I can get a developer involved I'll see if we can enact one of these potential solutions.
