I find what krypton says to be the case. Aiirtime imports the file ok and reports the correct length, shortens the file to remove silence etc. But its new duration is not updated in the show content tables. So i have been playing with using a tri…

I have code working here that will parse RSS feeds and fill in the mp3 tags from that and also will build the show from it - even repeating shows - with show title and description. All from cron jobs. When 2.5.2 comes out, I will fix it for the new …

Yes I have been doing similar for nearly a year in my RSS MP3 importer IMPORTANT NOTES Airtime only imports the tags ONCE, so the tags need to be changed BEFORE putting them in the watched folder. It can be a regular show. Doesn't need a smart…

Live Call
We use skype - works quite well mostly. With a Pro Account and a real phone number attached. Latency (delay) In the Mixxx forum is a discussion on this with suggested improvements (with penalties). For a quick improvement, if both Mixxx and Airtime…

Airtime broadcasting "silently" after Mixxx live broadcasting
Yup. It does that badly. If I say any more Altavoces will blow his weekly fuse and toys will be thrown as usual. Did he buy Airtime? Please advise as he acts like he does.

One problem for that is..... I found on a few OLD test machines showed an html5 player and couldnt find any installed codec for it. Notably Opera and older Firefox. Which is why i did it the other way around.

It was all about being compatable with with the greatest number of opsys and browsers including very old ones - going way back. Now if you dont like it - please don't use it. It would work on your mac if you followed the instruction. The header…

OK. Your op/sys version supports Flash. This is confirmed - where Apple decided to ship it or not.. Therefore, it decided to try to use it and prompt you to install it. You chose not to - so it failed. Is that about it?

anyway - what is it? If your opsys & device do support flash - it is working correctly and probably just needs Flash installing

Mine is a chameleon. It reads the clients user agent, op sys and much more. It will try and use flash if it is available for your device and platform - eg some Androids are quite happy to to use flash and some not. It has a fallback tree, has 3 play…

No its not possible to get 2.5.2 yet its not yet ready and assembled, but I dont think it will be very long. For example I have some code to supply to them etc.

You have no idea what is being done behind the scenes here to add to the 2.5.2 fixes and expansions. It is quite a lot.

If its a live show - why not use mixx or similar to do the music shuffle stuff and stream it in?

Comment by John Chewter June 2014 permalink

Not that i can see apart from cancelling the show. The list is locked while the show is playing. You could of course stream from another machine and change the play list. EG from VLC

No. The current linked Show Content table in postgres is locked during playout.

Other free players that can do this are available.

If 3rd parties upload into the watched folders.. e.g. DJs or an automatic import, the system has no idea that it has happened - or does it?
