Inconsistency in File Lengths [Resolved]
Was it mono? I have some odd issues with mono.

Master playlist instead of calendar
If you search for Voises' 'silence' scripts it will show you how to play from a folder or play list when Airtime detects nothing to play in the calendar or from an input stream. This may be the simplest route for you. It should only t…

The bug you refer to is marked as resolved and fixed. Did you recode it and was it fixed?

Can airtime remove duplicate media files?
Hmmmm. :) OK. So what if we ignore the Airtime metatag system altogether for this purpose? I guess one could do recursive checks in the 'unique' ID3 tags fields in the stored audio file structure - and then modify the Airtime database to…

Can airtime remove duplicate media files?
Airtime does NOT import lots of potentially useful tags. Not even UID, copyright variants, comments, lyrics (synced or otherwise) and other fields that they reserved space for in the database.- never mind the unique identfier fields :( So, how do …

Can airtime remove duplicate media files?
This would require some complex mutex and would certainly make mistakes unless you can find a feature 'unique' to the tracks. Yeah Right..

Hack Added! (CRON jobable) Bulk MP3 importer from multi RSS Feeds into appropriate watched folders!
Airtime should (and mostly does) handle the mono-to-stereo and stereo-to-mono automatically accprding to the stream settings. I find that sometimes it gets it wrong and its very hard to reproduce - so I force stereo in mine to be on the safe side. I…

Is airtime capable of simulcasting with substitutions?
I am interested in similar - I have an idea of my own also.

How about an advanced PostgreSQL query box for this? Then we could make our own :O

Saying 'Cannot schedule overlapping shows'
Yes. Do as Denise said above and manually patch the file https://github.com/sourcefabric/Airtime/commit/6ea0cb5918d7295496e27db1196afafd1511148b#diff-0

from: http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/download/ We recommend installing on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS Ubuntu 13 installs a later version of php and other things which may be causing an issue. Also, it sounds like you used the 'EASY' in…

Live Stream to IceCast2 & AirTime Question
Hm. The basic architecture of Airtime does indeed seem flawed. I have thought it for some time. Airtime is a large collection of open source projects stuck together with chewing gum (check the copyright notices in the files). Most of the bugs we se…

Newbie - Repeat Show at different times on different days
No Airtime does not do that. I wish it did. My work around is to make a play list for the show and reuse that at different times of day. Its slightly faster. :/

Between is easy. My problem is on, say, a 2 hour long streamed show from an mp3 or an incoming live feed. How to get the station id (and adverts) in? For a playing long mp3: Idealy I would like a method to periodically fade down and then pause t…

If you could wave a magic wand and have the stream fade down & paused while the Station ID Playlist played every 30 minutes and then the show faded back up - that would keep me legal in France. Something like: [Station-ID-Block Interval: 30min…

Example suggested options: Random Order by date (asc or dec) The very latest file only. Those would be very useful to me.

Not everybody has a music channel. Some here have talk radio channels. When my content gets automatically imported onto a folder - it would be useful for it to play the last added ITEM - not the whole folder. I guess I could alternatively use genre…

It sounds like one of your airtime timezone settings is wrong - or the system clock or hardware clock.

If this is on linked repeating shows.. the bug has been identified and the team are working on it. Another thing this bug does is to play silence. Do you ever hear two tracks at once? Do you hear anything at all? Your post does not really describe…

Airtime system complete failure - system status "working"
Have you a backup of the Postgres database? The only thing I can think of is database corruption. Hmm Is this 2.51? or 2.50 If it is 2.50 and you have access to the settings, I would try setting ALL of the clocks and timezones, everywhere to whateve…
