|
||||
1. Time is entered as 00:00 where the first 2 digits are the hour in 24 hour
|
||||
time and the second 2 digits are the minutes. So 15:00 is 3PM. *Note: 24 hours

# Settings
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On the **Settings** menu, click **General** to set your **Station Name**. This
|
||||
text is shown in your web browser's title bar when your station staff are logged
|
||||
into LibreTime, and optionally in stream metadata. You can also set a **Station
|
||||
Description** and **Station Logo** here.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Default Interface Language** drop-down menu sets the default localization
|
||||
for your LibreTime instance, and the **Station Timezone** drop-down menu can be
|
||||
used to display local time at your station. LibreTime stores show times
|
||||
internally in UTC format (similar to *Greenwich Mean Time*), but displays local
|
||||
time for the convenience of your station staff. You can also set the day of the
|
||||
week that you wish to start your station's weekly schedule on, which defaults
|
||||
to Sunday.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Track Type Default** enables you to select a track type default for uploads.
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, the **Default Fade In** and **Default Fade Out** times for automated
|
||||
fades are set to half a second, and the **Default Crossfade Duration** is set to
|
||||
zero seconds. Custom fade and crossfade times can be set for adjacent items in a
|
||||
playlist or static smart block. See the chapter *Library* for details.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Intro Autoloading Playlist** enables you to select a playlist that will be
|
||||
scheduled at the beginning of every show that has enabled an autoloading
|
||||
playlist. This can be used for instance to insert a station ID or other
|
||||
announcements a the top of every show.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Outro Autoloading Playlist** enables you to select a playlist that will be
|
||||
scheduled after the content of every show with an autoloading playlist.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Overwrite Podcast Episode Metatags** option which is enabled by default
|
||||
causes LibreTime to override the Artist, Title & Album fields on any tracks
|
||||
downloaded from a podcast with information from the RSS feed.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Generate a smartblock and a playlist upon creation of a new podcast**
|
||||
option when enabled will create a smartblock matching the newest episode of a
|
||||
podcast and a playlist containing that smartblock automatically upon adding a
|
||||
podcast to LibreTime. This can also be done manually by the generate smartblock
|
||||
and playlist button under a podcasts settings which is why it is disabled by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable live, read-only access to the LibreTime schedule calendar for
|
||||
your station's public website with the **Public LibreTime API** option, if you
|
||||
wish. (There is more about this feature in the
|
||||
[*Exporting the schedule*](exporting-the-schedule) chapter, in the
|
||||
*Advanced Configuration* section of this book).
|
||||
|
||||
The **Allowed CORS URLs** is intended to deal with situations where you want a
|
||||
remote site with a different domain to access the API. This is relevant when
|
||||
there is a reverse proxy server in front of LibreTime. If you are using a
|
||||
reverse proxy, the URLs that will be used to access it should be added here.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Display login button on your Radio Page?** will determine whether visitors
|
||||
to your site see a link to login. If this is disabled DJs and admins will need
|
||||
to goto http://SITEURL/login to be able to login.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Tune-In Settings** section is intended for stations that have partnered
|
||||
with TuneIn to automatically push their now playing metadata to TuneIn. This
|
||||
hasn't been tested and also requires special credentials from TuneIn.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Dangerous Options** section provides an administrator the ability to erase
|
||||
the entire LibreTime library.
|
||||
|
||||
When you are done remember click the **Save** button at the top or bottom of the
|
||||
form.
|
||||
|
||||
|

|
||||
Individual LibreTime users can choose another interface localization when they
|
||||
log in, or set personal preferences for localization and time zone by clicking
|
||||
their username on the right side of the menu bar.

Creating a smartblock
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
## Creating a new playlist
|
||||
|
||||
You can create a new playlist on the toolbar of the **Playlists** page.
|
||||
|
||||
At first, the new playlist will be shown as *Untitled Playlist*. Click the pencil icon on the right to give the playlist a name.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Type the name you have chosen, then press the **Enter** key on your keyboard to save the new name. You can edit the name of the playlist later, by clicking on the pencil icon again.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Click the link **View / edit description** to expand a box where you can enter a **Description** for the playlist, then click the **Save** button. Setting good quality metadata here will help you find the playlist using the search box later, so you should be as descriptive as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding content to a playlist
|
||||
|
||||
With a playlist open, drag and drop items from the search results on the left into the playlist on the right. Jingles and voice tracks can be added before, after or between music items.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After adding files to the playlist, the total playlist time is displayed in the top right corner. The duration of an individual file is shown in each row of the playlist in a white font, and beneath this figure the time since the beginning of the playlist is displayed in a smaller light grey font. This elapsed time figure can be used as a time check for voice tracks, although this option may limit the re-usability of the voice track.
|
||||
|
||||
To audition a playlist file in your web browser, click the white triangle button on the left side of its row. (If the format of the file is not supported by your browser, the triangle in this button will be greyed out). If audition of the file format is supported, a pop-up window will open, with the playlist starting at the file you clicked.
|
||||
|
||||
Click the small white **x** icon on the right hand side of each row to remove a file from the playlist. You can also drag and drop files to re-order them, or click the **Shuffle** button to re-order files automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To adjust start and end fades, click the playlist **Fade** button (two horizontal white arrows crossing in a grey rectangle), to the left of the **Delete** and **Save** buttons. This action opens a beige bar in which you can set the **Fade in** duration for the first item in this playlist, and the **Fade out** duration for the last item. This duration figure represents the length of the fade, in seconds and tenths of a second, not the time at which the fade takes place. The default fade duration is set in the **Preferences** page on the **System** menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When your playlist is complete, click the **New** button in the top left corner to create another playlist, click the close icon (a white cross in a black circle) in the top right corner, or browse to another page of the LibreTime interface.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to edit the playlist content or metadata later, you can find it by **Title**, **Creator**, **Last Modified** date, **Length**, **Owner** or **Year** using one of the search tools on the Library page. Click the playlist in the search results list, and then click **Edit** from the pop-up menu. You can also **Preview** the entire playlist in a pop-up audition window, **Duplicate** or **Delete** one of your playlists from this menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a Smartblock
|
||||
|
||||
Smart blocks are automatically filled with media files from the LibreTime library, according to the criteria that you specify. This feature is intended to save staff time, compared to selecting items for a playlist manually, and can be used to schedule shows that operate in a consistent format.

# The Podcasts page
|
||||
|
||||
The Podcasts page allows you add subscriptions to podcasts which are often used to syndicated audio files using a URL called a RSS feed. This allows your LibreTime instance to automatically download new shows from the web.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to add a podcast you need to get the RSS feed. All podcasts available on iTunes have a RSS feed but it is sometimes hidden. See this issue on our github page [#510](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/issues/510) for more information. RSS feeds that do not end in *.xml* may be accepted by LibreTime but might fail to download episodes; in that case, download the episode using a podcast client such as [gpodder](https://gpodder.github.io/) and then manually upload and schedule the episode. Podcast feeds coming from Anchor.fm have been known to have this issue.
|
||||
|
||||
The podcast interfaces provides you with the ability to generate [Smartblocks](smartblocks) that can be used in conjunction with [Autoloading Playlists](../calendar/#autoloading-playlist) to schedule the newest episode of a podcast without human intervention.

|
||||
|
||||
## Adding a webstream
|
||||
A web stream URL and metadata can be added to the LibreTime library, so that a remote stream can be searched for and scheduled to be *pulled* into a show. For example, at the top of the hour your station may pull a news report from journalists working in another studio. This is a different concept from **Master Source** and **Show Source** remote streams which are *pushed* into the LibreTime playout schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
To add a web stream, click the **+ New** button on the left side of the Webstreams page. Like a playlist, web streams in the Library can have a title and **Description**, which may help you find them in searches later.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Stream URL** setting must include the *port number* (such as 8000) and *mount point* (such as remote\_stream) of the remote stream, in addition to the streaming server name. A **Default Length** for the remote stream can also be set. If the stream is added at the end of a show which becomes overbooked as a result, it will be faded out when the show ends.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: LibreTime checks the remote webstream's status upon editing stream settings, so an offline stream will result in an error. There are many tools such as [BUTT](https://danielnoethen.de/butt/) and [MIXXX](https://www.mixxx.org) that can be used to send a test stream to LibreTime can save it; read more [here](../live-shows-with-mixxx/index.md).

playlist. This can be used for instance to insert a station ID or other
|

announcements a the top of every show.
|

The **Outro Autoloading Playlist** enables you to select a playlist that will be

The **Overwrite Podcast Episode Metatags** option which is enabled by default
|

causes LibreTime to override the Artist, Title & Album fields on any tracks
|

downloaded from a podcast with information from the RSS feed.
|

|

The **Generate a smartblock and a playlist upon creation of a new podcast**
|
||||
option when enabled will create a smartblock matching the newest episode of a
|
||||
podcast and a playlist containing that smartblock automatically upon adding a
|
||||
podcast to LibreTime. This can also be done manually by the generate smartblock
|
||||
and playlist button under a podcasts settings which is why it is disabled by
|
||||
default.
|

You can enable live, read-only access to the LibreTime schedule calendar for
|
||||
your station's public website with the **Public LibreTime API** option, if you
|
||||
wish. (There is more about this feature in the
|
||||
[*Exporting the schedule*](exporting-the-schedule) chapter, in the
|
||||
*Advanced Configuration* section of this book).
|
||||
|
||||
The **Allowed CORS URLs** is intended to deal with situations where you want a
|
||||
remote site with a different domain to access the API. This is relevant when
|
||||
there is a reverse proxy server in front of LibreTime. If you are using a
|
||||
reverse proxy, the URLs that will be used to access it should be added here.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Display login button on your Radio Page?** will determine whether visitors
|
||||
to your site see a link to login. If this is disabled DJs and admins will need
|
||||
to goto http://SITEURL/login to be able to login.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Tune-In Settings** section is intended for stations that have partnered
|
||||
with TuneIn to automatically push their now playing metadata to TuneIn. This
|
||||
hasn't been tested and also requires special credentials from TuneIn.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Dangerous Options** section provides an administrator the ability to erase
|
||||
the entire LibreTime library.
|

When you are done remember click the **Save** button at the top or bottom of the
|
||||
form.

On the lower left side of the Stream Settings page you can configure remote live input streams from DJ programs such as **Mixxx** or **IDJC**, or smartphone applications used by broadcast journalists. A bug with **Butt** versions 1.14 to 1.16 causes streams not to connect to LibreTime. A fix has been introduced with **Butt** version 1.17 that allows it to be used by LibreTime.

Airtime supports two types of live input stream; the **Show Source**, which enables a specific person to stream in during their own show, and the **Master Source**, which can override the Show Source if necessary. If neither type of live input is available, Airtime will fall back to **Scheduled Play** (playlists, smart blocks, remote streams and files scheduled in Airtime, in advance of or during a show).
|

The **Auto Switch Off** and **Auto Switch On** checkboxes enable playout to be switched automatically to the highest priority source whenever an authenticated input source disconnects from or connects to Airtime, respectively. The field **Switch Transition Fade** sets the length of the audio fade as scheduled playout is switched to a remote input source, and back.

The Webstreams page
|

-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding a webstream
|
||||
A web stream URL and metadata can be added to the LibreTime library, so that a remote stream can be searched for and scheduled to be *pulled* into a show. For example, at the top of the hour your station may pull a news report from journalists working in another studio. This is a different concept from **Master Source** and **Show Source** remote streams which are *pushed* into the LibreTime playout schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
To add a web stream, click the **+ New** button on the left side of the Webstreams page. Like a playlist, web streams in the Library can have a title and **Description**, which may help you find them in searches later.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Stream URL** setting must include the *port number* (such as 8000) and *mount point* (such as remote\_stream) of the remote stream, in addition to the streaming server name. A **Default Length** for the remote stream can also be set. If the stream is added at the end of a show which becomes overbooked as a result, it will be faded out when the show ends.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: LibreTime checks the remote webstream's status upon editing stream settings, so an offline stream will result in an error. There are many tools such as [BUTT](https://danielnoethen.de/butt/) and [MIXXX](https://www.mixxx.org) that can be used to send a test stream to LibreTime can save it; read more [here](../live-shows-with-mixxx/index.md).
