Overlapping Audio Files on Scheduled Shows — Need help!

    hi, 

    we're a webradio based in lyon (www.l-yl.com); 
    we use airtime to broadcast all our archives — materiel recorded during 2 years of radiophonic activity —, 
    as well as for our live radio sessions.
    airtime picks up these archives on our storage server (OVH), where all our material is stored, 
    after upload through airtime. 

    we're having troubles since 1 or 2 weeks: our scheduled programs seems to overlap. 
    when we create a program on our calendar, we fill it with our archives (audio files we uploaded on airtime). 
    almost every time for the last 3 days, each time we broadcast with scheduled shows, 
    after create them on our calendar, the scheduled file + another one overlaps (two audio files playing at the same time).  

    we're then obliged to broadcast live from our itunes. 

    we really need help here, 
    our new season's program begins tomorrow. 

    best,
     
    Simon

    This could be happen because the duration of the files are wrong.
    I had similar problems in the past. The airtime scheduler took the duration of the first file and NOT take the duration of the file that overwrites the original.

    I tried to refresh the airtime media database, but I don't know how to do it.


    EDIT:

    I see the log of media-monitor and it recognizes the change in the file

    try make sure you have Airtime version 2.5.1.6

    your cache directory is found by this
    ls -l /var/tmp/airtime/pypo/cache/scheduler/

    if nothing is schedule
    you should see this
    ls -l /var/tmp/airtime/pypo/cache/scheduler/
    total 0

    if you see something like this

    ls -l /var/tmp/airtime/pypo/cache/scheduler/
    total 19552
    -r--r--r-- 1 root root 995344 Sep 13 12:10 1194.mp3
    -r--r--r-- 1 root root 85996 Sep 13 12:10 1363.mp3

    -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2506897 Sep 13 12:10 981.mp3

    do this to remove and refresh the database

    sudo
    -u postgres psql -c 'DELETE FROM cc_schedule WHERE id in (SELECT s.id
    from cc_schedule s LEFT JOIN cc_show_instances si on s.instance_id =
    si.id WHERE si.modified_instance = true);' airtime


    you might want to schedule files more than the default time play with this to say 2 hours
    gedit /etc/airtime/airtime.conf
    cache_ahead_hours = 2
