Radio

This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

The radio group is for traditional and web based broadcasters who use Drupal for their website. Bugs, features and other discussion about the development of the station module are highly encouraged.

Sneak peek at Now Playing display

Posted by thumb on May 16, 2007 at 3:06am

5/19/07 - UPDATE: I launched a new station.module powered site a few days ago, Indie 101.5. FTP's down in the shared hosting environment currently, so the recently played is empty, but the music tab shows the now playing prototype.

I have a prototype now playing feature working to display a short and extended playlist. I've also added "buy" buttons for Amazon and iTunes. I was about to begin work to translate this stand alone script into a Drupal module for my customer, but it looks like they're going out of business.

Playlist / Now Playing / Icecast metadata

Posted by mattrock on April 26, 2007 at 8:04pm

I am seeking to corral thoughts on playlist entry. A recent discussion with Drewish yielded some thoughts on a method of tracking "played songs." There was a consensus that expansion or re-building of the current playlist entry module in station is in order. I feel it is fitting to discuss this in conjunction with the discussion of "Now Playing."

What are the plans (if any) for adding Now Playing module

Posted by thumb on April 25, 2007 at 5:59am

I was getting pretty excited about what work on a nowplaying.module (http://groups.drupal.org/node/3104) but haven't heard anything lately. I'm building a new station site and need something like this to build the station's catalog and display recently played tracks from uploaded HTML files generated by the station's automation software.

As it turns out, I probably won't be able to rely on getting data out of the station's automation software in XML format. Since I'm stuck with HTML, I'd like to reproduce what Bram outlined but against remote HTML track lists.

Printer Friendly Schedules

Posted by Clemens on April 2, 2007 at 7:48pm

The committee thinks everybody will want to print a copy of the station Schedule but the 'Printer Friendly' option is not available on the Schedule pages... neither are breadcrumbs or categories displayed on the Schedule 'views'...

Are there plans to bring the Schedule views in to line?

Schedule page out of sync

Posted by Clemens on April 1, 2007 at 10:58am

First of all thank you for the perfect module at exactly the right time... Just started development again on a community radio web site after a year of committee procrastinations.

Fortunately the site upgraded smoothly from 4.7 to 5.1 and the 'Station' module was just about drag and drop... Now that I have added the weekly schedule for the station i notice on the '/station/schedule' page that Sunday is masquerading as 'sun' and hiding between Wednesday and Thursday. Of course the committee zoomed in on that one hard... :-)

Station module documentation

Posted by joachim on March 26, 2007 at 1:41pm

So I've been granted documentation editor status on the main drupal site. Erm, mwahahaha... I think :)

That means I'm in a position to update the handbook that's here: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/station
Is that ok with the maintainers of the module?

A few things I'd like to add or change:
- the list of component modules is out of date
- use of the word 'block' in the schedule is potentially confusing, as a 'block' means something quite specific in drupal. Would 'slots' be ok? or 'timeslots'?

Adding audio to program nodes?

Posted by joachim on March 17, 2007 at 10:48am

I want to add audio to program nodes.
Specifically, each program will have one, maybe more presenter jingles. I want to have these listed on the program page.

But I'm having trouble finding a way to embed audio.
There's the mediafield CCK module, but that doesn't come with any players, and it also means I can't reuse the audio content -- for example, a page listing all jingles.

how do i remove the archive database

Posted by Eric Bullet on March 16, 2007 at 7:14pm

I recently deleted the entire archives to start fresh. However, the data from the old archives (with no actual audio links) is still on the site. I was wondering if there was an easier way to delete the data (maybe a file on the server or a quick way through drupal), since there are about 33 pages of data.
I'm a little bit of a noob, but i managed to figure out drupal and set up most of the site myself. the host of the server, isn't sure & he's the most tech savvy guy involved, with our station. (he set up the stream and basic drupal station config)

What's the status of nowplaying.module?

Posted by thumb on March 10, 2007 at 5:30am

I'm very anxious to see this module in action, to help test is, and, possibly to extend it. I'm referring to the the comment here.

Strange Thing, Can anyone help?

Posted by bwhiteford on February 27, 2007 at 3:18pm

Hey everyone! I've installed the Station module at my radio station with great success, and it worked wonders for a few weeks. Now, for some reason, under show recordings, only about half of the recorded shows are there. However, when I log in as myself (the admin) they are all there. I've checked to make sure they are published, etc, and everythings good. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Nodeprofile, and using nodes as Djs instead of users

Posted by joachim on February 23, 2007 at 8:54pm

Hi. I'm in the process of setting up a new drupal-based website for a community radio station in the UK.

I want to give each presenter (DJ in the station lingo) a profile page that shows a picture, has a voice clip (of them saying hello or something), and a bit of text about them.

The user description pages in drupal can show a picture, but I can't do a voice clip or body text.

Station 5.0 release

Posted by drewish on February 22, 2007 at 10:40pm

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've finally created a DRUPAL-5 branch for the station module: http://drupal.org/node/121773

I'm going to start hacking away on HEAD now, I've got my sights set on multiple schedules (i.e. for stations with different content going to AM and FM) and providing a history of the schedule.

Thanks to everyone who's submitted bug reports, patches and feature requests!

Which server?

Posted by Bèrto ëd Sèra@dr on February 21, 2007 at 6:08pm

Which server side streaming software is best used with this module? Also, I'm setting up a pre-alpha version of the site on an XP machine, is there any server (no matter how bad, I'll be the only listener) I can use to test my drupal-side configuration before going live? I have downloaded shoutcast, but I seem to understand that it's going to be no use for this case, right?

Streamripper .cue and .mp3 files

Posted by skyl1ne on February 15, 2007 at 11:07pm

Can anyone help me decode the date/time syntax for Streamripper's .cue and .mp3 files?

For example:

1171573200.cue
1171573200.mp3

are for a 02/15/2007 stream ripped at 14:00.

If I wanted to rename somefile.mp3 to a certain date/time i.e. 1234567.mp3 to 02/16/2005 18:00 what syntax would I use?

Also, is it 'always' necessary to go in and manually delete the .cue files prior to import?

The reason I ask is that 'sometimes' the .cue files are removed automatically, but often they are not.

Thank you.

Using XMLRPC to remotely retrieve programming information

Posted by bwgames on February 6, 2007 at 9:09pm

We're using the Station module for our website, but I'm trying to integrate the schedule in some pre-existing infrastructure we have.

Ideally, what I need is something (using XML-RPC?) that will return the currently scheduled program information (i.e. title of the show), that I can query using PHP....

I looked into the MySQL database at the station_schedule table, and it needs to be cross-referenced with the 'node' table (where type=program), but I wasn't sure how the start and finish timestamps worked....

Stuck on Streamripper

Posted by skyl1ne on January 31, 2007 at 9:56am

I have read the documentation, but it is still not clear to me how, or if it is even possible, to install Streamripper on a shared hosting service e.g. Dreamhost.com If so, can someone point me to a step-by-step install procedure. Thank you.

Station Module Error: "The offset must be an integer."

Posted by dellis on January 30, 2007 at 3:55pm

Hello all, I'm trying to configure the station module for Drupal 5, and can't get any options for creating the program schedule... Catalog, Playlist, Program are all without options in the admin setting, and the schedule module only lets me select length of time for the shows (15, 30, 1 hr.) but doesn't let me populate anything. The primary "Core" tab, lets me put in the stream names, but then upon submit gives me the following error: "The offset must be an integer."

Any ideas?

Drupal 5.x Station Module

Posted by skyl1ne on January 30, 2007 at 1:28am

Any word on if, or when the Station module will be released for Drupal 5.x?

Will the current release work for Drupal 5.x?
