Every new month, first few days messed up
>>There appears to be some issues with whatever goes between the "pretty bits" on the screen and the "heavy iron" at the database where if there is any intermittent connection (such as a laptop on wireless) some importan…

Airtime monthly schedule widget/export to Google calendar?
Probably easiest with a PHP POSTGRES query. I already did an RSS feed for shows which pulls stuff from the database. You could probably easily extend/modify that. It's in 'hacks'.

Raspberry Pi 2
It should be quite easy on that Pi2. These notes may save you some hours of fiddling. Just for info, I have managed to get Airtime 2.52RC1 running on 100$ tiny TV media player boxes on Xubuntu 14.04LTS. Xubuntu is simply Ubuntu with a very lightweig…

Airtime 2.5.2 RC1
I just had an idea for that.... Thanks Alvaro!

Extended Week Widget. Code that returns a lot more show info. No hacks to AT code.
Yes, mine works in IE and auto refreshes. Sounds like there is a Javascript typo or two. What does the Javascript error console say?

Airtime if new hour stop music ant play hour jingle (REQUEST)
I am surprised that you chose Airtime at all. It is a calendar driven system. Maybe this is just not suited to your needs? Have you thought of using something like ICES instead of /as well as?

Asterisk Phone Ins -> Airtime revisited - Any tips?
Thanks for that Voisses. Mine is an a remote server - I am using it for SIP Phone-In shows (SIP conference) using OPUS No hardware access available.

streams not connecting to server
Manually correct the database entries if you can use PGAdmin and MD5 Hash

Web interface hangs and do not respond
I think you would just have to change the Apache virtual hosts config files in /etc/apache2 to match the new domain/IP and then it would probably work. This would be normal for any server with these changes. I do not see this as an Airtime issue at …

Jumping Back to Previously Played Song
The general GitHub docs explain that. It is assumed that you know to use a Git.

I am getting two audio files playing out at the same time.
Good stuff. I think I can now see why we have 'ghosts in the machine'. It's the same as the adding linked files into the future - and it stops on day. What if its deleting entries into the future and it stops on an an arbitary day? Y…

Any ideas? Odd things when stress testing Airtime/Icecast
This seems the same thing. MBUFS limit reached? I am on the recommended Ubuntu 12.04. The solution seems to be recompiling the kernel with a higher value. But I would expect to find many folks screaming about this and icecast. One guy switched to Sh…

RAM @ 11% CPU @ 19% Virtual memory used = 0 It must be some connection limit somewhere - probably the same in Debian Icecast 2.3.2 16GB RAM. Quad Core utter bastard warp-factor 6 processor. Phasors on stun.

Urgent suggestions please for external advert-supported streaming services?
Yeah - I have a large pinch of salt handy.. Any alternatives to live365?

Comment by John Chewter January 2015 permalink
shows have playout times that are outside of the show's timeslot
Looks like an artifact of the duplicate show bug

Show consistently cuts out 15-20 minutes before end time
Yeah, seems unlikely. I was getting clock creep that screwed me over at midnight.

OK that leaves the Hardware clock.. and Unix clock drift. I sync my hardware clock to NIST every 5 mins by the way, cos i was getting millseconds drift. I then sync Unix time to that. All timezones everywhere are set to UTC. Airtime's schedulin…

Just asking the obvious question: Are all of your clocks and timezones correct? The Unix Clock, The hardware clock, The Airtime Clock (yes there is one) and are they all synchonised to a time server?

New Install
is that actually what you got? or did you change the real domain name for mydomain.com for the purpose of posting?

Comment by John Chewter January 2015 permalink

Change mydomain.com to your IP and it will probably work

Live Recording -- Mixx no Problem, Problems with BUTT
Brandon, yes, remote livestreaming of shows/interviews into Airtime in OPUS works great and is very efficient. If you have a crap stream coming in, you will surely have a crap stream going out. When there is enough userbase out there I might add it.…

Opus is useful for streaming INTO Airtime. Apart from that, I see no point.
