The Calendar page of the LibreTime administration interface has three views: **day**, **week** and **month**, which can be switched using the grey buttons in the top right corner. By default, the **month** view is shown, with today's date highlighted by a pale grey background.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In the top left corner of the page, you can go back or forward through the **Calendar** by clicking on the buttons which have a small grey triangle in a white circle. Click the **today** button to jump to today's date in the current view. (The **today** button will be greyed out if you are already viewing that date). In the **day** or **week** views, there is also a drop-down menu which allows you to set the resolution displayed for the calendar, ranging from one minute per row to sixty minutes per row.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Adding a show
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Only *Admins* and *Program Managers* can use this feature. To add a new show to the Calendar, click the **+ New Show** button in the top left corner of the page, or click on any future row or box in the Calendar which is empty. Either of these actions opens the **Add this show** box, which has seven sections, arranged vertically: **What**, **Autoloading Playlist**, **When**, **Live Stream Input**, **Record & Rebroadcast**, **Who**, and **Style**. Click the small orange triangle to the left of the section name if you wish to minimize or maximize it.
|
||||
|
||||
What
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
In the **What** box, enter the **Name**, public website **URL**, **Genre** and **Description** for the show that you are creating.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Autoloading Playlist
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In this section, you can select a playlist that will be used for this show. The playlist must already be defined in your library. **Auto Schedule Playlist** needs to be checked for **Select Playlist** and **Repeat AutoPlaylist Until Show is Full** to be visible.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Next, in the **When** section, if you clicked on a date in the **Calendar** this should already be entered in the **Date/Time Start** field. To set another date for the show, click on the date in the **Date/Time Start** field and select the date that you require from the small pop-up calendar which will appear. Click on the adjacent time field to set the start time for the show, with the pop-up **Hour** and **Minute** box. The Minute values in the pop-up time boxes are rounded to the nearest five minutes. You can also adjust the times manually by clicking into the fields and typing. Repeat the process to set the **Date/Time End** fields. The **Start Time** can be **Now** or **In the Future**. A show that starts now, will start at the time save is pressed, while a future show will start at the time set. The **Duration** of the show will be displayed automatically, based on the start and end times you have set.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the **Timezone** of the show start and end times will be the timezone of the station, as set on the Preferences page on the System menu. You can specify an alternative time zone using the drop-down menu, if you wish. The time zone displayed in the Calendar when you log in depends on your personal settings. See 'Updating your own account' in the chapter *Users* for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LibreTime will only allow you to enter valid times for shows. If you attempt to schedule show times which would be impossible, by ending the show before it begins, LibreTime will highlight the error with a pink background.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To schedule a regular show, check the **Repeats?** box, which will make a new section of the dialog appear. Optionally, click the **Link:** box to automatically schedule the same content in the repeated shows as in the original show.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then select either **weekly**, **every 2 weeks**, **every 3 weeks**, **every 4 weeks** or **monthly** from the **Repeat Type** drop-down menu. If you have selected a weekly option, check the boxes for the days of the week that you want to schedule the regular show on. If you have selected **monthly**, you have the option to **Repeat By: day of the month** (for example the 9th of each month) or **day of the week** (for example the second Wednesday of each month).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Uncheck the **No End?** box and set the **Date End** for the regular show to finish, or leave the **No End?** box checked to schedule the show indefinitely.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Live Stream Input
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The **Live Stream Input** section can be used to enable live input streams during the show, and also to configure authentication for them. If you check the **Use LibreTime Authentication** box, the DJs (presenters) of the show will be able to connect a live stream to LibreTime's **Show Source Mount Point** using their login name and password. See the chapter *Stream Settings* for details.
|
||||
|
||||
If you check the **Use Custom Authentication** box instead, you can set a one-time username and password pair for live stream input to the show. For example, you may wish to create an authenticated live stream input for a particular remote news reporter, without providing any further access to your LibreTime server for that person.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A reminder of the connection **Host**, **Port** and **Mount** for the live input stream to use is shown at the end of the **Live Stream Input** section.
|
||||
|
||||
Record & Rebroadcast
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The **Record & Rebroadcast** section is currently not working, and so has been removed from the web interface. If this feature is important to you, please search for relevant issues in the [LibreTime github repository](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/search?q=record&type=Issues) and help us make it happen!
|
||||
|
||||
Who
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
In the **Who** section, type the first few letters of the name of the show's DJ (presenter) in the **Search Users** field to select a name from the LibreTime database, or check one of the **DJs** boxes in the vertical list below. This association of a DJ name with a particular show enables that presenter to add playout media to the show, and also to connect a live Show Source input stream (if that has been enabled), so it is important to get the DJ's name right.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Style
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
Show colours in the Calendar are set automatically, based on the **Name** of the show, so that individual shows can be easily identified in the **Calendar**. If you wish, you can select a **Background Colour** and **Text Colour** manually by clicking the boxes in the **Style** section. Click the coloured circle icon in the lower right corner to close this pop-up window.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Optionally, you can upload a Show Logo by clicking the **Browse** button.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, click the **Add this show** button at the top or bottom of the box. The new show will now be displayed in the **Calendar**, with a regular slot if you have chosen to schedule one.
|
||||
|
||||
Editing a show
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Show configuration and metadata can be changed at any time, except for **Date/Time Start** and **Record from Line In?** options, which are fixed after broadcast of that show commences. Click the show in the Calendar, and select **Edit Show** from the pop-up context menu. This opens the **Update Show** box, which is almost exactly the same as the **Add this Show** box. Click the **+ Update show** button at the top or bottom of the box when you are done.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Episodes of repeating shows also have an **Instance Description** field in which you can add details for that particular episode. Click the episode in the Calendar, click **Edit** on the pop-up menu, then click **Edit this instance**. After entering an Instance Description, click the **+ Update show** button.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, individual shows can be clicked on and dragged to new days and times in the calendar. However, LibreTime will not allow you to drag a future show into the past, or drag and drop instances of a repeated show. In the **Day** and **Week** views, show length can be adjusted by clicking on the lower edge of the show box, and dragging the edge of the box upwards or downwards. The new show length is calculated automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding content to a show
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To add content to a show, click the show in any view on the Calendar, and select **Schedule Tracks** from the pop-up menu. Shows that do not yet contain any scheduled content are marked with a red exclamation mark icon, to the right of the show start and end times in the top bar. Shows partially filled with content have a yellow exclamation mark icon. During playout of the show, a green play icon will also be shown in the top bar.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Schedule Tracks** action opens a window with the name of the show. Like when using the **Now Playing** page, you can search for content items and add them to the show schedule on the right side of the page. Refer to the *Now Playing* chapter for details.
|
||||
|
||||
When your show has all the required content, click the **OK** button in the bottom right corner to close the window. Back in the **Calendar**, click the show and select **View** from the pop-up menu to view a list of content now included in the show.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Contents of Show** window is a read-only interface featuring an orange bar which indicates how much media has been added to the show. Click the **OK** button in the bottom right corner, or the white **x** icon in the top right corner, to close the window.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Removing content from a show
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To remove an individual item from a show, click on the show in the **Calendar**, and select **Schedule Tracks** from the pop-up menu. In the window which opens, click any item you wish to remove from the show, then click **Delete** on the pop-up menu, or check the box in the item's row then click the **Remove** icon at the top of the table. To remove all files and playlists from a show, click on the show in the **Calendar**, and select **Clear Show** from the pop-up menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Deleting a forthcoming show
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To delete one forthcoming instance of a repeating show, click on the show in the **Calendar**, and select **Delete**, then **Delete Instance** from the pop-up menu. If you wish to delete all future instances of a repeating show, select **Delete Instance and All Following** from the pop-up menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You cannot delete or remove content from shows that have already played out. These shows have only one option on the pop-up menu, which is **View**.
|
||||
|
||||
Cancelling playout
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to cancel playout of a show while it is running, click on the show in the **Calendar** and select **Cancel Show** from the pop-up menu. LibreTime will ask you if you are sure about this action, as it cannot be undone.

# Dashboard
|
||||
The Dashboard is divided into two sections a Library section divided between
|
||||
[Tracks](../tracks), [Playlists](../playlists), [Smart Blocks](../smartblocks),
|
||||
[Webstreams](../webstreams), and [Podcasts](../podcasts), with the **Scheduled
|
||||
Shows** dialog on the right. This page provides an overview of the right-hand
|
||||
interface. Check the links to see information about the other sections which
|
||||
provide the content that can be scheduled.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Scheduled Shows** page provides a view of the content your station is will
|
||||
playout, or has already played out, which defaults to showing the 3 hours
|
||||
ahead. This page also enables you to make last-minute changes to running shows.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've only just installed LibreTime, there might not be any content shown
|
||||
yet. Click the calendar and clock icons above the table to change the date and
|
||||
time range, then click the **Find Shows** button (with the magnifying glass
|
||||
icon) to the right.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To display the content of a particular show, click **Filter by Show** and select
|
||||
the name of the show from the drop-down menu which will appear.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On the left side of the page, the **Start** and **End** times, **Duration**
|
||||
and **Title** of each content item are shown. On the right, **Creator**,
|
||||
**Album**, **Cue** or **Fade** times and **Mime** type (file format) can also be
|
||||
shown. This information can help you to prepare voice tracks for insertion into
|
||||
the show, including time checks if you wish. Putting current time information i
|
||||
to voice tracks describing specific content can, of course, limit the
|
||||
re-usability of those voice tracks, unless you always broadcast a particular
|
||||
item at the same time of day.
|
||||
|
||||
Click the **Show/hide columns** button on the right to configure the metadata
|
||||
displayed, by checking the boxes in the pop-up window.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The row for the currently playing item is displayed with a bright green
|
||||
background. Any underbooked shows (shows with insufficient content to fill the
|
||||
time allowed) are displayed with a row indicating the length of the underbooking
|
||||
in minutes and seconds. These rows contain a red exclamation mark in the first
|
||||
column, and have a pink background.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Removing content from a running show
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If a show is overbooked, which means the total playout duration is longer than
|
||||
the time allowed for the show, a brown row indicates that the item will be faded
|
||||
out when the show ends. A red row indicates that the item will not be played at
|
||||
all. The length of the overbooking is shown in minutes and seconds in the last
|
||||
row of the show. To remove the extra items from the end of an overbooked show,
|
||||
click the **Scissors** button at the top left of the table.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, check the boxes for items which have not yet completed playout,
|
||||
and click the **Trashcan** button, to the right of the Scissors, to remove them
|
||||
from the schedule. If you remove the currently playing item, playout will skip
|
||||
to the next item in the show automatically, so you should make sure you have
|
||||
enough items remaining in the show to avoid dead air.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a long schedule displayed, and you wish to skip to the currently
|
||||
playing item, click the button with the end arrow icon, to the right of the
|
||||
**Trashcan**.
|
||||
|
||||
To cancel the current show completely, click the red button to the right again.
|
||||
A pop-up window will ask you to confirm the cancellation, as this action cannot
|
||||
be undone.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Items which are no longer available have an exclamation mark icon in the second
|
||||
column. This may happen for media files which were part of previous shows, and
|
||||
were removed from LibreTime's library (main storage or watched folders)
|
||||
subsequently. Items which are included in forthcoming shows cannot be removed
|
||||
from the Library via the LibreTime interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding content to a running show
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
After you have found the items that you want using the search tools, you can
|
||||
then drag and drop them from the library table on the left side of the page into
|
||||
the shows on the right side, including the current playing show.
|
||||
|
||||
If the current show has nothing playing out at the time, the new item will begin
|
||||
playing immediately. This manual triggering of playout can be used as a live
|
||||
assist technique, in which the LibreTime server's soundcard output is mixed with
|
||||
other sources such as microphones or telephone hybrids on its way to a
|
||||
transmitter, or a separate stream encoder. For instance, a live show's host may
|
||||
not wish to cut off a studio discussion in order to play music at a fixed time.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can also select multiple items using the **Select** menu button, just
|
||||
beneath the simple search field, which has the options to **Select this page**
|
||||
of search results, **Deselect this page** and **Deselect all**. Alternatively,
|
||||
use the checkboxes on the left side of the library table to select specific
|
||||
items. Then drag one of the items into the show to add all of the selected
|
||||
items, or click the **Add to selected show** button, which has a plus icon. If
|
||||
you wish, you can also use the **Trashcan** button to permanently remove items
|
||||
from LibreTime's library. Only *admin* users have permission to delete all
|
||||
items.
|
||||
|
||||
To insert checkbox selected items at a specific time in the show schedule, click
|
||||
one of the songs in the schedule table. Then click the **Add to selected show**
|
||||
button in the library table. This will insert the library songs after the
|
||||
selected scheduled song.
|
||||
|
||||
To add a single item at the insertion point, double-click on it in the library.
|
||||
There is no need to select or drag the item first.
|
||||
|
||||
Right-clicking on a song in the schedule table will show a pop-up. This pop-up
|
||||
menu also enables you to audition the entire show in advance of playout, or
|
||||
remove the item that was clicked on from the show.
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple insertion points can be enabled, so that the same item is inserted into
|
||||
the schedule at different times. For example, you may wish to play a news report
|
||||
every hour, or a station ident after every five music files.

# 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/index.md) 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 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.

# 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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Dashboard
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The podcasts dashboard is similar to the tracks view, allowing you to add, edit, and remove
|
||||
podcasts by the toolbar, in addition to sorting by columns. Podcast feeds themselves cannot be searched (ie. to
|
||||
search for _Background Briefing_, as per the screenshot).
|
||||
|
||||
To add a podcast, click on the **+ Add** button on the toolbar and provide the podcast's RSS feed, which usually ends in *.xml*.
|
||||
Once the podcast's feed is recognized, the editor pane opens for the podcast.
|
||||
|
||||
Editor
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In the podcasts editor, you can rename the podcast, update settings for the podcast, and manage episodes.
|
||||
A search box is available to search for episodes within the feed.
|
||||
|
||||
- To import an episode directly into LibreTime, double-click on an episode or select it and click **+ Import**. The podcast will appear under tracks with the Podcast Name as the Album.
|
||||
- To delete an episode from LibreTime, select the episode and click on the red trash can on the toolbar.
|
||||
- If you would like LibreTime to automatically download the latest episodes of a podcast, make sure *Download latest episodes* is checked. This can be used in conjunction with Smartblocks and Playlists to automate downloading and scheduling shows that are received via. podcast feed.

# Radio page
|
||||
|
||||
LibreTime includes a mini-site, which can be accessed at _localhost_ (for local installations) or
|
||||
_libretime.example.com_ (for installations to a server on a domain).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The site includes your logo (set under Settings > General), the login button to the LibreTime interface, links for the schedule, station description, and podcast tabs, and a livestream player that runs of the stream from the built-in Icecast2 server.
|
||||
The currently playing artist and track are displayed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The schedule tab opens by default and shows a schedule for your station based on LibreTime's Calendar
|
||||
for the next 7 days. All times are presented in 12 hour format.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The about tab includes your station name and a quick blurb about your station that can be set under Settings > General (more info [here](../general/index.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Tracks published wind up here, and can be played back on-demand. This is a great place for putting episodes of shows that have already played out on stream. The Subscribe button allows for listeners to subscribe to your podcast's RSS feed in a podcast client of their choice, such as Apple Podcasts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

Creating a smart block
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a smart block, click the **Smartblocks** button on the left sidebar, and select **New** from the toolbar. Like a playlist, smart blocks can have a title and description, which you can edit. This helps you find relevant smart blocks in searches.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Click the link **Smart Block Options** to display the criteria and modifiers for the smart block. The criteria can be any one of LibreTime's metadata categories, such as **Title**, **Creator** or **Genre**. The modifier depends on whether the metadata in question contains letters or numbers. For example, **Title** has modifiers including *contains* and *starts with*, whereas the modifiers for **BPM** include *is greater than* and *is in the range*.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also set the **smart block type**. A **Static** smart block will save the criteria and generate the block content immediately. This enables you to edit the contents of the block in the **Library** page before adding it to a show. A **Dynamic** smart block will only save the criteria, and the specific content will be generated at the time the block is added to a show. After that, the content of the show can be changed or re-ordered in the **Now Playing** page.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Click the **plus button** on the left to add OR criteria, such as **Creator** containing *beck* OR *jimi*. (The criteria are not case sensitive). For a static smart block, click the **Generate** button to see the results. Dynamic smart blocks do not display the **Generate** or **Shuffle** buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't like the ordering which is generated, click the **Shuffle** button, or drag and drop the smart block contents into the order that you prefer. You can also remove items or add new items manually from the Library. Changes to static smart block contents are saved automatically when you add items, remove or re-order them, or click the **Generate** button. Click the **Save** button in the upper right corner to save any changes to smart block criteria.
|
||||
|
||||
To add an AND criteria, such as **Creator** containing *jimi* AND BPM in the range *120* to *130*, click the **plus button** on the right. If you see the message **0 files meet the criteria** in this case, it might mean that the files in the Library have not been tagged with BPM metadata. See the chapter *Preparing media for ingest* for tips on tagging content.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
By default, a smart block will not contain repeated items, which will limit the duration of the block if you do not have sufficient items meeting the specified criteria in your **Library**. To override the default behaviour, check the **Allow Repeat Tracks** box. The **Sort tracks by** menu offers the options of **random**, **newest** or **oldest** items first.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In addition Smart Blocks by default will never overflow the Time Limit. For instance if you set a time limit of 1 hour. It will add tracks to the schedule until it can't add any more tracks without exceeding the hour. This is to prevent tracks from being cut-off because they exceed the time limit of a show.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want a smartblock to schedule tracks until it is longer than the Time Limit you can check "Allow last track to exceed time limit". This will make LibreTime add tracks that meet the criteria until it equals or is longer than the time limit. This is helpful for avoiding dead air on shows that are being autoscheduled.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a large number of files which meet the criteria that you specify, you may wish to limit the duration of the smart block using the **Limit to** field, so that it fits within the show you have in mind. Select **hours**, **minutes** or **items** from the drop-down menu, and click the **Generate** button again, if it is a static smart block. Then click the **Save** button.
|
||||
|
||||
Smart blocks can be added to shows in the same way as a manually created playlist is added. Smart blocks can also be added to one or more playlists. In the case of a playlist containing a static smart block, click **Expand Static Block** to view the contents. For a dynamic smart block, you can review the criteria and duration limit by clicking **Expand Dynamic Block**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Once created, smart blocks can be found under the Smartblocks tab and refined at any time. They can be re-opened by right-clicking on the smart block and selecting **Edit** from the pop-up menu.

On the **Settings** menu, the **Status** page provides an overview of the health and resource usage of the various services that make up a LibreTime system. If all is well, you will only see green check mark icons in the **Status** column. This page also shows how much **Disk Space** you have used on the disk partition containing the main Import folder, as well as any disks or partitions with watched folders.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If any of the check mark icons in the **Status** column have changed to a red warning sign, contact your system administrator for assistance. (The chapter [Troubleshooting](../troubleshooting/index.md) contains some tips). LibreTime will do its best to restart any failing services, but sometimes manual intervention may be required; for example, in the case of hardware failure.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have run out of storage space, a LibreTime user with *admin* privileges could log in and delete media files that are no longer required from the **Library**. Alternatively, you could move some files to a watched folder on another disk, or ask your system administrator to install additional storage capacity.

*Note* LibreTime installed via the install script does not currently change the default Icecast password and is insecure without intervention by the system admin. There is a [tutorial](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/wiki/Securing-icecast-and-customizing-stream-settings) on our wiki that walks you through the steps of how to fix this and an open issue [#86](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/issues/86) to track resolution of this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Global settings
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can configure direct Icecast and SHOUTcast streams and sound card output by clicking **Streams** on the **System** menu.
|
||||
|
||||
At the top left of the **Stream Settings** page are global settings including **Hardware Audio Output**, which enables playout from the default sound card on the server, if one is fitted. The default **Output Type** of *ALSA* on the drop-down menu will be suitable for most servers with a sound card. If not, you have the option to choose from other Liquidsoap interfaces available, such as *OSS* or *PortAudio*.
|
||||
|
||||
The second checkbox under Global Settings enables the sending of **Icecast Vorbis Metadata** with direct streams. This setting is optional, because some media players have a bug which makes them disconnect from Ogg Vorbis streams when an Icecast server notifies the player that a new track is starting.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Stream Label** radio button allows you to set the metadata that will be sent with direct streams; *Artist* and *Title*, *Show*, *Artist* and *Title*, or *Station name* and *Show name*.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The **Off Air Metadata** field configures the text that will be sent to any configured streaming servers, and from there on to media players, when Airtime is not streaming any output.
|
||||
|
||||
Below this is the **Enable Replay Gain** checkbox which, if checked, automatically adjusts Airtime's output level to an average of -14dBFS, based on prior analysis of the level of individual files in the **Library**. This feature helps guard against unwanted changes in Airtime's output level caused by the typical variation in average level of recordings made in different studios at different times. The correction value for each file can be viewed by enabling the ReplayGain column in the **Library**.
|
||||
|
||||
If Replay Gain is enabled, output level can be adjusted up to 10dB louder or quieter from the reference level of -14dBFS by clicking and dragging the **Replay Gain Modifier** control. Increasing level too far is likely to result in clipping (distortion) since the output level is adjusted to be greater than that of the original files. This scenario is indicated by amplitude correction factors greater than 1.0 in the Liquidsoap log file.
|
||||
|
||||
Click the **Save** button on the right side of the page to save any changes that you have made to global settings. If you are only using the hardware audio output, and will not be streaming to or from Airtime, you can leave the **Stream Settings** page after clicking the **Save** button.
|
||||
|
||||
Input stream settings
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Each type of input stream requires a username and password before the remote broadcaster can connect to Airtime. The **Master Username** and **Master Password** can be set in the Input Stream Settings box, while the authentication for individual Show Sources is set up in Airtime's schedule calendar. See the *Calendar* chapter for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Input streams must have a **Port** for the remote broadcaster to connect to, which should be a number in the range from 1024 to 49151. If you have the Icecast or SHOUTcast streaming server running on the same machine as Airtime, you should avoid using port 8000 or 8001 for either type of Airtime input stream. This is because both Icecast and SHOUTcast use port 8000, and SHOUTcast also uses port 8001. If the usernames and passwords were similar, remote broadcasters might accidentally connect to the streaming server directly, bypassing Airtime.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid further confusion, it is also recommended that you set a different **Mount Point** (the specific filename for broadcasters and listeners to connect to) from that used on your public Icecast or SHOUTcast server.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If your Airtime server is behind a firewall, and you wish remote broadcasters to connect input streams to it across the public Internet, you may need to click the **Override** link to set a **Connection URL** which is available from outside your local area network. This URL might be based on the domain name assigned to the router which forwards the appropriate port to your Airtime server. Then click **OK** to save the new connection URL.
|
||||
|
||||
Switching input streams
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In the Master Panel, available input source streams are shown with an orange line connecting the source to the switch, which you could think of like a patch cable connecting a source to a broadcast mixer. When that switch is active, another orange line connects the switch to the On Air indicator, like a patch cable connecting a mixer to a transmitter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you have checked the **Auto Switch On** box in the Stream Settings page, the **Master Source** switch will move automatically to the active position, on the left, when an authenticated master source connects to Airtime. Otherwise, you can activate the switches manually by clicking the left side of each switch, or deactivate them by clicking the right side. The switches do not have to be dragged with the mouse, in the way that a switch on a hardware mixer would be pushed sideways. **Show Source** live input streams can also be manually activated or deactivated in the same way. If neither the show source or master source is active then LibreTime will default to what is scheduled to play in the Calendar.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you have the **Auto Switch Off** box checked LibreTime will resume scheduled playback whenever a stream disconnects. Otherwise you will need to slide to disable a source after a DJ stops streaming.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also force disconnection of a live remote source, for example when the remote input source has crashed and is no longer sending audio data, click the **X** icon to the left of the source name.
|
||||
|
||||
Output stream settings
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
The Default Streaming radio button that is configured by default currently relies upon an insecure icecast password. You will want to change the Icecast2 password and select Custom Streaming. See the notice above for a tutorial on how to fix this.
|
||||
|
||||
On the right side of the page, you can configure up to three independent output streams with different bit rates or formats, and send these streams to different Icecast or SHOUTcast servers. By default, only Stream 1 is enabled, with this stream being sent the Icecast server configured at installation time.
|
||||
|
||||
To configure another stream, click the bar with the stream number to expand its box, and make sure **Enabled** is checked. Enter at least the streaming **Server** IP address or domain name, and **Port** details. The default port for Icecast and SHOUTcast servers is 8000.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Click **Additional Options** to expand a box in which you can enter the usernames, passwords and metadata to send to the streaming server. The default **Username** for Icecast servers is *source*, and if this the name in use on your streaming server, you can leave this field empty. The **Admin User** and **Admin Password** settings are optional, and are used to query the streaming server for audience numbers by the **Listener Stats** page on the **System** menu.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also set the specific **Mount Point** that listeners will connect to here. Then click one of the **Save** buttons in the upper or lower right corner of the page to update the Airtime server's settings.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Airtime supports output to Icecast in Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Opus, MP3 and AAC formats. When selecting a SHOUTcast server from the **Service Type** drop-down menu, you are restricted to using MP3 or AAC formats only, so the choice of Ogg Vorbis and Opus formats is greyed out in the **Stream Type** drop-down menu. The SHOUTcast username for stream sources is fixed, so you do not need to enter this value under **Additional Options**, but you will usually have to enter a password.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Any connection problems between Liquidsoap and Icecast or SHOUTcast are shown on the Stream Settings page. For example, if you enter the wrong password, you will see an *Authentication Required* error message. To fix this, enter the correct password in the **Additional Options** box, and click the **Save** button. If the streaming server is down for any reason, or you have entered an incorrect **Server** name or **Port** number, you will see the message *Can not connect to the streaming server*.

# Tracks
|
||||
|
||||
This page of the LibreTime interface enables you to search the media library,
|
||||
sort and display the search results by the criteria that you choose, audition
|
||||
library items, and drag and drop those items into a playlist. You can also
|
||||
adjust fade and cue points, create smart blocks (automatically generated
|
||||
playlists), or add incoming web streams to the library. The **Library** page
|
||||
is not visible to *Guest* users.
|
||||
|
||||
Searching the library
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In the library table which opens, the upper section is for the **Advanced
|
||||
Search Options**, which enable you to search within individual fields of the
|
||||
database such as **Title** or **Creator**. Like an Internet search engine, you
|
||||
do not have to type in the correct upper or lower case, press the **Enter** key,
|
||||
or even type the whole of the search term before matches from the LibreTime
|
||||
library are displayed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
At the bottom of the library table, click the **First**, **Previous**, **Next**,
|
||||
**Last** or individual page number buttons to browse the search results.
|
||||
Right-clicking an item in the search results will display the available options
|
||||
for that item in a pop-up window.
|
||||
|
||||
The columns displayed in the search results correspond to the fields available
|
||||
for advanced searches (except for **Scheduled** and **Playlist / Block**, which
|
||||
indicate if a particular item is in use). To change the fields which can be
|
||||
searched, click the **Show / hide columns** button on the right side of the
|
||||
table, just above the search results.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Click the metadata column headings such as **Title**, **Creator**, **Album**, or
|
||||
**Genre** to sort the entries in ascending or descending order. In the second
|
||||
column, audio files are represented by a loudspeaker icon, while playlists ares
|
||||
represented by a document icon. Smart blocks have a think bubble icon, and web
|
||||
streams have an arrow icon.
|
||||
|
||||
To find all files uploaded by yourself, or another specific member of the
|
||||
station staff, click the **Show / hide columns** checkbox which enables the
|
||||
**Owner** column. After you have made your search, you can click the header of
|
||||
the **Uploaded** column to find the items that person added to the server most
|
||||
recently.
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced search terms are matched using 'and' rather than 'or' logic, to narrow
|
||||
your search. Perhaps you have tagged some jazz-flavoured station idents intended
|
||||
for use in a particular show called 'Jazz Maverick' with the **Album** tag of
|
||||
*Jazz Maverick* and a **Genre** of *Ident*. You could then find exactly the
|
||||
idents you are searching for by typing *maverick* and *ident* into the
|
||||
respective advanced search fields.
|
||||
|
||||
If your jingles are tagged with *Jingle* in the **Genre** or other fields, you
|
||||
can very easily find them by entering *jingle* into the search field. The same
|
||||
technique can be used to find advertising and promotional files. (See the
|
||||
chapter *Preparing media for ingest* for tips on batch tagging files with
|
||||
metadata). Unlike advanced searches, simple searches use 'or' logic for
|
||||
multiple search terms, so a simple search for *jingle ident* will return items
|
||||
matching either keyword.
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking on an item in the library table opens a pop-up menu which enables you
|
||||
to audition the item, or remove it from the LibreTime library. Media types which
|
||||
cannot be auditioned directly in a web browser, such as FLAC, have a lock icon
|
||||
instead of a loudspeaker icon, but these files can be downloaded to your local
|
||||
computer for audition instead. The **Delete** option should be used with
|
||||
caution, because this action cannot be undone. For media files, you can also
|
||||
**Edit Metadata** stored for the file using this menu.

# 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 [here](../host-configuration/index.md)).
|
||||
Airtime previously supported import via SFTP but this functionality is still under
|
||||
development for LibreTime.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
*airtime_analyzer* process has crashed and the admin will need to restart it.
|
||||
See [Troubleshooting](../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](../Tracks)
|
||||
section of the Library.
