Normally you have to add it to chron

Scheduled files for playout are delayed by up to a minute
I saw a few like this before - it was always clock drift. Timezones maybe should be checked while you are doing it. 2.5.1 and 2.5.1a fixed a lot of time issues and the Git 2.5.2 fixes even more of it - as they brought the clock/timezone stuff togeth…

Have you syncronised all your clocks to a timeserver on a cron? Maybe its as simple as that? The caching should have happened a while before the indicated show time.

REQUEST - Generate programs using a script
The dynamic content only changes when shows are added. Period. The playlist for the show is generated at that time and does not change. What so many folks need and have asked for is dynamic content generation at playing time - so you never get a rep…

Airtime on raspberry pi
Has anyone a copy of this - it has gone walk-about? http://www.sourcefabric.org/attachment/77/WRD_handout_TheSmallesRadioStationInTheWorld.pdf?g_download=1 I am about to attempt this with a much more powerful micro box or two. (dual core 1.66Ghz 1 …

Spring Update on Airtime Development
Really Bart? Are you having another Jeremiah day? Go and look in the Git - the new stuff done and the dates? I just recently helped myself to all the new, available, finished 2.2 stuff and uploaded it. Worked great for me! A lot more stable now. NO…

How to set default colour for recorded and pre-recorded shows
I did, a long time ago and talked about it with Albert S. who seemed to like it - but he has bigger and moe urgent fish to fry. What annoys me with the Add Show/Update form is that if you put a color in the show at add time - it completely ignores i…

How to set default colour for recorded and pre-recorded shows
For program planning - I find this pseudo random coloring of the shows VERY confusing, unhelpful and messy- hence my hack above. I plan my talk shows by timeslot/genre eg UFO Hour - from different show providers - and the shows can change daily with…

How to set default colour for recorded and pre-recorded shows
Note I also added a 'Genre' drop-down to New/Update Show to make this more convenient. My Bash Script for the cron: #!/bin/sh set -e set -u # Set these environmental variables to override them, # but they have safe defaults. export PGH…

I have a little cron job that changes the show colors by genre in the calendar views. I guess that could be modified? I could not imagine anyone working without this :/

No I have not done that yet. I was waiting for 2.5.1a. Your report does not surprise me. The schedule table and the show instance table do not always line up as they should. Example - if you do a show content update and the ajax fails (3 times a wee…

Garbage-in and extra-processed garbage-out? Maybe Ade, you need better garbage to start with. It seems you are asking a playout system to re-master on-the-fly and this is beyond the scope of the Airtime playout system.

AT not playing AT Pro Shoutcast Stream [WORKAROUND]
This is how I made it work reliably, but, surely Airtime should be able to webstream AND preview its own Airtime Pro streams? http://208.43.66.96:9998/; That works in PREVIEW - does not stream. [WORKAROUND] http://208.43.66.96:9998 That streams bu…

Another thought. You can use SOX serverside to DSP files on impòrt - but not in real-time. If you don't know what SOX can do - download Audacity (free) and see (Its a wrapper for SOX).

Hmmm. "Each DJ has their own dedicated upload script and those scripts were all being stored in other directories located under the web accessible folder. They had to be in here so that they were, well - web accessible" Why not create nor…

My repeating automated show ingest usually works very well, because they are from the same source (on a show by show basis) and usually have been pre-normalised to the same levels as the original, by the originators - e.g. Democracy Now! and so the…

The code I wrote is above .../public and therefore secure. It can only be run from a cron job or an ssh session. It does output the playing SHOW instead of the mp3 track. It would be very very simple to export the track - which is what my next alter…

or you can do it stand alone with no Airtime/LS/Icecast hacks at all. http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/16848/tunein-updater-code-for-talk-shows-etc-updates-with-show-info-tested-on-2-5-1

Extended Week Widget. Code that returns a lot more show info. No hacks to AT code.
This might get you started? Note this code expects the station time to be UTC and figures out the local time from client settings. I also do stuff with my genres in there (dont worry about that for testing) - its should work anyway.

TuneIn Updater code for Talk Shows etc. Updates with SHOW info. Tested on 2.5.1
This is the first part of my extended widget project. I will be extending the code to create a JSON API feed that has much more data in it than the Airtime APIs. It does not, and will not, need any changes to Airtime or LS files at all. I did not w…

LS would need restarting.

CDN/icecast relays
I do not understand the last post at all. I looked at the charges for Streamzilla - its 3x the monthly charge of my dedicated server - and you would still need a dedicated server.

Icecast integration with Facebook Page
They are b*stards. But useful (for free) if you use GROUPS. Get your listeners to join your radio station FB GROUP. Post in other big groups. $0

OK Roger, we sought the truth - and the truth has set us free.. We get quite a lot of new listeners through FB. :P We post, into large FB Groups, details of upcoming shows that are ON TOPIC. Works like a charm. :)
