Spring Update on Airtime Development
They had better get a move on. There is another one snapping at their heels.

Creating a REAL smart block
Hmm.. It needs to see if any of the schedule table items, referenced by the show_instance table item have been changed AND that no other item in the schedule table co-incides. AT doesn't check this very well, hence people moaning about double t…

You do need 5.4. I was expecting you to say 5.5

Are you using Ubuntu 12.04 and PHP 5.4x ? Availability of PHP 5.4x is becoming a problem as its between the LTS versions.

Airtime on raspberry pi
I am having fun trying to get AT running on a quad core arm device. It is quite a beast and should be well capable of running Airtime. Is anybody else playing with ARM devices and Airtime? I am having trouble getting php 5.4 running on Ubuntu 12.04…

Creating a REAL smart block
There is no real smart block to program as such - its a set of rules to generate and insert the same list of timed tracks into the schedule table, for each show instance refered to by the show - and all timed top milisecond level and allowing for cr…

Extended Week Widget. Code that returns a lot more show info. No hacks to AT code.
If you look in the javascript for DATE you will find it easlily enough. Just comment OUT the date formatting I added.

Creating a REAL smart block
Its quite hard doing this because of the way AT have organised their database. Firstly a Smartblock is a concept - not a thing. Its just a recipe to make a playlist. You have to tie together the schedule, show, show instance and files tables and k…

Browser freezes when trying to add a new show or when trying to add a content to an existing show
I have seen this too. I would add that sometimes corrupts the show instances database when this happens and you can get times when you cannot add a new show into an empty space. It says cannot schedule overlapping shows.

I split the show url field in Edit Show like this: Normally its like http://www.mywonderfulradio.com I change it to http://www.mywonderfulradio.com|http://www.mywonderfulradio.com/images/john_doe_dj.jpg My code knows what to do with that ;)

Yes of course. But somebody has to write it and it is not very simple.

HELP : Airtime! Cut the end of the song :(
Now THAT is a very interesting and useful clue. Thank you for that. I have this problem too - the conclusion of my chat shows (and punchline) gets chopped off. Could you make a bug report for this? The new shiney wizzy site doesnt seem to have a lin…

Content of shows became empty
It also happens if you rename a show title.

HELP!!!!!!
As long as you do your own support - everything should be peachy :)

People have been asking this for literally years. You can achieved legality by manually scheduling the information. As it it Open Source you could modify it yourself (or pay someone else to).

vhost seems to be broken after system update
The 2.5.2 I copied in 2 weeks ago is a LOT more stable than 2.5.1a in my NOT so humble opinion. I wouldn't be without it now. I did NOT install it as an upgrade - I copied the files over. Worked fine. Its not perfect by any means - but it IS a …

I dont think so. Seen no evidence for that in the changelog. I think our hero Albert S might have that covered for 2.6. But I dont know. @albert.s Jump in any time

Scheduled files for playout are delayed by up to a minute
Hardware clock is not necessarily periodlically updated from NTP and Unix Sytem time may not be updated from it. It often is, in a standard deployment, but may not be. ESPECIALLY in dedicated servers! Sometimes its only updated at boot time. Check t…

How to publicly show when a live stream is happening?
I just put ***LIVE***' at the front of the show title.

Scheduled files for playout are delayed by up to a minute
In places they had some software clocks in UTC Time Zone and others in Station Time Zone, some code referencing the wrong clock and they did not match, giving seemingly unpredictable results and 2 tracks playing and other wierdness. In 2.5.0 I found…
