Hi,
Hoping I can get some of the Sourcefabric folks on here.
We run an WGOT-LP 94.7FM in Gainesville, FL and have been using campcaster 1.2 since we started broadcasting back in Jan '08. Campcaster has served us well but we need to upgrade to Airtime as CC is showing its age. Once we have Airtime 1.6 running on a new system we're prepping, we're going to switch it out with the current broadcast computer.
We have a unique setup in that we don't yet have a proper studio so everything is done remotely (which is why campcaster has been ideal for us). All our DJs record their shows and then we use dropbox to synchronize uploads; the schedulers (we have 2-4 of them) have access to campcaster and they then set up the schedule according to our programming.
I have a few questions:
1. Getting audio out of the soundcard.
Audio is working fine with other apps but I can't seem to be getting audio out of Airtime. According to
http://wiki.sourcefabric.org/display/CC/Installing+Airtime+% 28v1.6%29
to listen to audio we need to run
mplayer http://localhost:8000/airtime.mp3
Is this really the only way to handle it? We normally don't have a user logged into the PC as it is sitting in a shack at the tower with the rest of the broadcast equipment.
Regardless, even if I try to run that command, I get 404 error from the server. Looking at the /var/log/icecast2/error.log, I see that it's actively checking for listeners:
[2011-02-20 13:58:17] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/airtime.mp3"
[2011-02-20 13:58:17] INFO source/get_next_buffer End of Stream /airtime.mp3
[2011-02-20 13:58:17] INFO source/source_main listener count on /airtime.mp3 now 0
[2011-02-20 13:58:17] INFO source/source_shutdown Source "/airtime.mp3" exiting
However, when I try to connect, it throws:
[2011-02-20 17:54:50] INFO fserve/fserve_client_create checking for file /airtime.mp3 (/usr/share/icecast2/web/airtime.mp3)
[2011-02-20 17:54:50] WARN fserve/fserve_client_create req for file "/usr/share/icecast2/web/airtime.mp3" No such file or directory
I'm pretty sure I followed all the steps and also rebooted the system but this was a system on which I'd been trying to get Campcaster 1.4 running so perhaps something in the install didn't get correctly set. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
2. This is not so important for us as we use dropbox along with the import script to handle uploads however, I can't seem to upload files over the web interface. The apache2 error logs report the following continuously as the web interface tries to redo the upload over and over again:
[Sun Feb 20 15:22:15 2011] [error] [client 10.0.1.5] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 86499732 bytes) in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://tower2.local/Plupload/plupload
[Sun Feb 20 15:22:16 2011] [notice] child pid 24053 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
BTW, the size limits in php.ini are set to 150MB and the file I'm trying to upload is 82MB.
3. Can't right-click from Safari (at least on Mac).
I can't seem to right-click to add content to a show and I know at least 1 of our schedulers will be using a Mac. This seems to be working from Firefox so it won't be a problem to get them switched however, just thought you should know in case other people bring it up.
Thank you for any feedback on this. We really appreciate all the hard work.
