Spring Update on Airtime Development
This is welcome news. I'm glad to see that the Pro version is getting improvements. I imagine that directly funds the development of the free version. Thanks.

Hey, Are you saying that the set of tags in Airtime changes or adapts to the file you import? Is meta-data written to the mp3 file when you update it in Airtime? Thanks

@Co Ry There is already a tag for Language :) Can you elaborate on "interupts"? It sounds like you are talking about a live play situation? If so, then I share that request. For most of our schedule, we do live shows, where we play music…

I suppose you could have a "category" tag field. For example I would put "Jazz" in the genre tag and "34" in the category tag. The other extra ones relevant to Canadian broadcasters are: Instrumental (yes/no) and Canadi…

Thank you @Steven and @Albert. I will be re-thinking it.

I upload on Add Media, not shown on Library!
Hello, I am having the same problem today. I uploaded files. They are presently in the organize folder but do not appear in the library.

Basics For connecting Your Streaming Tools Butt,MIXXX,etc.- for Dummies - Like me
What if there was a mountpoint for each scheduled show? It would be clear to Airtime what mountpoint is to go live by looking at the schedule. I get your comment about the end of show. The remote dj has to be looking at a clock (remote clock) that …

Backing up my server
A few reasons, and partly the reason for my question. First, I have enough backup storage. Second, I am wondering if this simplifies recovery?

Basics For connecting Your Streaming Tools Butt,MIXXX,etc.- for Dummies - Like me
Hi, I have a question about using show source. Can you can only connect a show source during the scheduled show? If yes, then the transition at the beginning of the show is not so elegant. Ideally, you would be able to connect a show source at any…

Line In & live MIC
Adam, You mentioned a DJ setup going into your mixer. You won't have metadata from that through Airtime. I am in a similar situation and I chose to put Airtime pre-mixer as well. I have a seperate linux box that just runs Darkice. Another op…

Line In & live MIC
Hi Adam, welcome to Airtime. Currently Airtime cannot take an analog input and schedule it to play out on the output stream. The only way to get live content into Airtime is to send your mixer output to an Icecast client and then connect that clien…

Talking about Airtime Documentation
Hi Nat, thanks for the feedback! The sentence about sub-second precision is meant to emphasise the 'time' aspect of 'Airtime', that tight timing is what the program is all about. Compare this to typical desktop audio applications…

Airtime hangout #3 - recording in Airtime
Hi Nat, in the original recorder design, Airtime was more like a Tivo, being used to time-shift shows. It would use an aux send from the mixer to capture live content, and play it out to an aux return as a repeat show when the studio was unstaffed. …

Talking about Airtime Documentation
"The scheduling calendar is managed through an easy-to-use interface and triggers playout with sub-second precision." What does this mean? Your example system is too complex. Airtime is a package and the first thing people ask is how do …

Airtime hangout #3 - recording in Airtime
OK, here are my recommendations: 1. Allow record flag to be set (and changed) independently of show content. 2. Provide a user definable option for where to record from: either a) stream or b) analog input 3. Implement analog input pass through as …

@hoerich, why do you want the line input to be recorded? Don't you want Airtime's output to be recorded instead?

Airtime hangout #3 - recording in Airtime
Thanks for the perspective @Daniel. I think for internet radio users, who are essentially using Airtime for what it was made for, this whole recording issue gets solved by a stream-ripper that can be scheduled by the calendar. For FM users, Airtim…

Airtime hangout #3 - recording in Airtime
Right now Airtime can record from the line input. It can also schedule playback to the line output. Those capabilities are present and fully implemented. However, it seems like an extra check has been put in place to not allow both to occur at the s…

So what is the reason for the current limitation? This appears to be not a bug but an intentional design feature.

Airtime hangout #3 - recording in Airtime
The problem with that solution is that you then need to maintain 2 calendars, one in Airtime and one in the Stream ripping program. Stream ripping is not required. All that is required is to enable Airtime to record and play analog audio simultaneo…

Airtime hangout #3 - recording in Airtime
I may not be able to attend the hangout but I wanted to add my thoughts here. In my setup, I have an analog mixer in a traditional studio. The output of the mixer (program audio) gets split to: 1) studio to transmitter link 2) Airtime input. I also…

I just discovered this in the manual: "Shows set for live recording should not also contain files or playlists." Why????

James, thanks for that tip. I am also running 12.04.02 LTS but I can't have 2 instances of ecasound accessing the same audio input. I will try out dsnoop. Getting back to the main topic, the issue for me is that I can't create a show that…

2.4 upgrade & Schedule messed up - now can't delete a show.
I noticed something about the show I can't delete. It's the only one that displays options related to content when I click on it. There happens to be no content for this show, which is the same as all the other shows. Per the manual, I sho…

Yes! That is exactly what is happening to me. I tried editing and not changing anything, just re-saving, and it had the same effect. I saw the red dot change to an exclamation point. Of course, when I edit again I cannot edit the record flag because…

Can someone answer the question of why it's not possible to edit the "record" flag after a show has been created with it checked? Thanks.
