I did it in 2 Joomla 2.5 (Free) Flexi Code HTML Modules. I just pasted my widget code in them. If you use a standard module - it strips the Javascript & PHP. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/coding-a-scripts-integration/…

Smart Blocks - Playing the latest episode of a programme?
Well - I think we can do it right now using my published hack. If I modified very slightly my airtime rss importer so the lastest version is saved similar to: democracy-now-latest.mp3 and have it over-write the last one in a watched folder - that wo…

Smart Blocks - Playing the latest episode of a programme?
I cheat with democracy now. I piggy back on a another station :O as livestream. However - I put a 1/2 way solution in Airtime Hacks. It downloads podcasts from rss feeds. Most podcasters have an rss stream. So, if you put that in a cron, you should …

"Output Stream Settings" not appearing in AirTime 2.5 from GitHub
I have only noticed it on linked files - which are not playing. Anyway you are not playing that file - you are playing from the airtime cache.

Feedback Wanted: Airtime Content Network Idea
Hmm I do that with Watched Folders under /home and issuing ftp accounts - captive to their own watch folder

I find that the stream breaks sometimes when I edit tags inside airtime. It usually recovers. Sometimes I then get two tracks playing.

Kill the caching for your station player!
That will not help with flash and other non html5 players.

I posted it as an improvement bug so it gets applied to the 'Listen Now' window in the backend. You can find quite a few unresolved posts in here that this will fix.

Thats exactly how I do it for whats-on-now widget. For weekly schedule I am sending up the local time zone and rewrote the code on airtime to return the weeks schedule in local time. It does not suffer caching issues. I did have a caching problem i…

I would make sure the system hardware clock and timezone is correct - just for good measure. In your hosting control panel probably.

Also, I have modified the Show-Add/Edit to provide a consistant genre dropdown picker. Personally I would like a fixed pallette pegged to the Show Genre - which matches my colour coding on the listener's view. But this might not suit everybody…

When editing a Show Title: Dont change the Style colors PLEASE. We have to change them back to match each time :)

My server is in France. I think I would do it by the clock and reduce volume of main stream and shout a quick ID over the top

It is inconvenient or a potential 11,000 euro fine per incident Its easier for you guys playing lots of small files. Some of mine are 2 hours. Any suggestions welcome.

Cool while we are at it - I need Jingle /Advert insertion INSIDE a standard show mp3 Example - most of my content arrives as like a continuous 50 minute chat show mp3 so pausing the stream and inserting station id would keep me legal.
