Upload
The primary way you can add files to the LibreTime library is using the Upload page of the administration interface. (The Upload page is not visible to Guest users). This page includes an upload queue for media files, which supports drag and drop from your computer's file manager if you are using a recent web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox 16 or later.
Some web browsers may set an upload limit for a single file, between 200MB and
2GB. In addition the default LibreTime webserver configuration limits file size
to 500M. If you need to upload files larger than 500MB to the LibreTime server
on a regular basis, you will need to have your admin update the configuration at
/etc/apache2/sites-available/airtime.conf (see instructions here).
If your web browser does not support drag and drop, you can click the background of the screen on the Upload page, to open up a file browser dialog. LibreTime will automatically attempt to upload files once you select them. You can track the file upload progress via the gray progress bar in the upload window.
The upload speed will depend on the network connection between your computer and the LibreTime server. While files are uploading you need to keep this browser window open or it will interrupt the file transfer.
After the file transfer is complete, the file is then processed by the analyzer service and if it has been succesfully uploaded the Import Status will change from Pending Import to Succesfully imported. If it fails there was some reason your file was rejected by LibreTime and you will need to try again or contact your Admin to have them consult the logs and open up a bug report. It sometimes takes a few minutes for files to be processed but if they are all stuck at Pending Import then it is possible that the libretime-analyzer process has crashed and the admin will need to restart it. See Troubleshooting for more information. You can look specifically at any failed imports by clicking the radio button next to Failed.
Once they are done procesing your files ready to be included in your broadcast playlists, smart blocks and shows and can be viewed in the Tracks section of the Library.
