sound configuration - Airtime on Ubuntu Server in a VirtualBox
OK, it helps if one learns how to really un-mute the sound output using the console-based alsa-mixer. ;-) So, it is working now using alsa. In summary, on ubuntu server outputing to the sound card (not icecast) one needs to install linux-sound-bas…

sound configuration - Airtime on Ubuntu Server in a VirtualBox
Might it be a permission thing? What makes me think that is that I need to run "alsamixer" & "aplay -l" as sudo, otherwise they can't find the audio device ...

1 out of 4 = Exception with filepath in media-monitor.log
Ah, looks like http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CC-2891 Apparently fixed in upcoming version 1.9.5.

Media Monitor not liking filenames with ñ
Agreed that using a LTS version may be a better idea, but our machine runs better on 11.04 with more up-to-date drivers. And the apt repository now includes support for 11.04 (natty) so it should work, no?

~$ cat /etc/default/locale LANG="es_GT.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="es_GT:es" PS: We are running Ubuntu 11.04. I assume UTF-8 is the default, no?

I'm thinking that Postgres Warm Standby can be used on the database itself. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/warm-standby.html

We are looking at Postgres Warm Standby to replicate the database. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/warm-standby.html I thought we could just rsync the files in /srv/airtime/stor and then use Warm Standby for the database, which …

It wouldn't have anything to do with the 2 versions of python (2.6 & 2.7) installed here would it? The errors seem to using python2.6 and one point and then python2.7 at another.

No "on air" light and no streaming
Hola Claudia I think the standard answer is to ask the user to post their pypo & pypo-liquidsoap logs. Alan

1.9.0-RC2. If there was a tarball of the latest devel branch, I could try that, but I don't have the setup or experience for git.

Same error messages as in the 2nd post. It's weird, there may be something on that machine that is getting in the way. But I removed and re-installed all the dependencies, uninstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed airtime, and get the same er…

/usr/lib/airtime does not exist. I searched the system for other left over directories, but nothing showed up.

Why does it contunue to fail once I switch to a more reliable Internet connection? Even after running airtime-uninstall? Did it leave a corrupt file someplace? It did install on a different computer, one using the reliable Internet connection.

Recording from mixed sources?
A hardware mixer, what a novel idea! Goes to show how little I know about broadcast radio. But a bit of thought and a look at the current setup here gives me enough of an idea to go ahead without needing a complex Airtime setup. Thanks! PS: P…

Apart from using unsupported and non-standard things like JACK or PulseAudio, what is the norm? How are current users managing this workflow?

Comment by Alan Pater August 2011 permalink
Recording from mixed sources?
Can't (use pulseaudio) because "1) pulseaudio is only running while you are logged in to your desktop, so sound would stop when you log out, and 2) while it is possible to run pulseaudio in "system-mode" (not tied to a specific u…

Will Airtime work on a system running JACK? I seem to recall seeing a thread here of someone having lot's of issues getting them to cooperate. And if JACK, why not PulseAudio?

Thanks Daniel I'll take a look at the sourcefabric deb later this evening to see what the other requirements are. I've been apt-getting for 10 years now, so hopefully I should be able to figure it out!

Yup, multiple reboots were tried. And the obvious checked, the mic was not simply mutted. It is working now, after much fiddling with alsa config files and mixers and reboots. I'm going to prepare a fresh custom install without pulsea…
