Trying to wrap my head around this YouTube live/LibreTime flow - audio streams of live video events (there are many musicians doing them now) would be really cool… if that’s what this functionality would enable.
Kia ora!
So right now what I’ve got set up is I have a Wowza Streaming Server to which Māori Television are sending us a live video broadcast (RTMP) and then Wowza can push streams to icecast (therefore LibreTime). I’ve scheduled it so that they are a show source and can only authenticate when their show is live and then the moment they stop streaming Wowza stops sending the feed to LibreTime and LT switches back to normal playout. This allows us to automatically relay the Ministry’s live broadcasts which are happening every day around 1pm and the Prime Minister’s address at 3pm. My only issue is… TV people don’t produce for radio 
when you work in radio and you do live video streaming you know to always have sound. The YouTube option I tweeted was working but it wasn’t very reliable… something probably to do with drops in the live stream which my code doesn’t handle well and LibreTime switching back to schedule if the link drops.
We’ve been meaning to move onto LibreTime for a while. I only recently started working on sunshine.tehiku.radio and tehiku.radio and it just so happen COVID19 got out of control and now New Zealand is in lockdown so we had to urgently switch over from Airtime to LibreTime (yesterday).
One feature I’d love to add to LibreTime is SRT based streaming for lower latency. Near real time (<1s latency) streaming to and from LibreTime would be amazing.

CKMS-FM 102.7 Radio Waterloo https://radiowaterloo.ca
We were exploring an upgrade from Airtime 2.5 to LibreTime, then just as the Covids arrived our Airtime server had a drive crash. So, a mad scramble to get LibreTime installed! Took a bit of doing - I had problems with the install packages, so ended up downloading the Vagrant Virtual Machine, running that on our development server while fixing the hardware on the production server. Then just massively copied (rsync, mostly) the LibreTime stuff from Vagrant to the (fixed) production server. Took a bit of tweaking with the setup tool, but everything seems to be in order!
I hope to be contributing to the code – I’ve been developing someone else’s schedule code, and there may be some additional attributes I’d like to see in the schedule API. https://radiowaterloo.ca/schedule
And it was nice to virtually meet @robbt at the LibrePlanet conference!

We here @ www.RadioDarmstadt.de (German Local Radio Station) use a highly modified Version of LibreTime for our automation for the times nobody is live.
Works a treat since i implemented it.
We broadcast a 24/7 Program on 103,4 FM and on 12C DAB+ and also online.
We are on Air since Feb 1997 and LibreTime is one of our most needed tools running 24/7 for more than 2 years without any failure.
A Great tool to have, we are happy to have it since the old System was really out of date !
For those who are interested, modifications made:
- Playout via Audinate DANTE (Audio over IP - REALTIME)
- A recorder for our PGM Signal to have the ability to repeat live shows over the night. (Integrates as Podcast)
- Silence Detection (in case someone forgets to put something in, it streams Backup via Master Source)
- Silence Detection for Uploads (Pre-Produced shows with silence are a big NO NO)
- Timings for Podcast checks have been “turned up” since our Recordings need to be ready ASAP.
- API Integration to our DAB+ Multiplexer (Show Logo MOT Header)
- API integration to our DAB+ Multiplexer (Show Name DLS)
- Also Integration in our RDS Encoder (RDS RT, PTY, PTYN, TP values)
- Backup Routines to a Hot Standby that auto activates if the main one fails (failover within 10 seconds)

Greetings Libretime community,
We are trying to gather as much participant as possible for our survey, hence why I advertise the survey on this popular topic.
In order to get a better idea of how and by whom Libretime is used, the LibreTime maintainers and contributors would like to get feedback from the community. This will help us to focus on features that really matter.
Please see Libretime Community Survey
Did it, but why the hell is my Post “still under review” in this Topic here ?
Rock Now Radio, on https://www.rocknowradio.ro (we’re in transition from Airtime 2.5.2 to Libre - temporary home is https://s1.rocknowradio.ro).
I have a LIbreTime server running to play some music in our Gelatarias we have. I can’t publish the link to the site here, as we don’t have the licence to play it over the internet, so I can’t make it public.
When I looked at services that would manage the music I felt that the cost is way too high. So I looked at alternatives and first found Airtime, and later LibreTime. Given that I could install the server in a Virtual Machine on existing hardware, all I had to invest was some time to learn how to set it all up. LibreTime is ever running smoothly and needs almost no attention, yet shuffling through a big library of music.
Freeconferincecall.com for free will do phone ins, computer voice conferences all streaming out (and recording) mp3 straight into your webstream LT input. We did phone ins like this. A lot simpler than asterisk.
Hello world,
It’s done for me. My radio is under LT this morning. (migration from Airtime after few years).
My radio is https://www.airgayradio.net
So, in the future, I hope to have one stream with AAC when this one will work with LT. Wait also for some little best function with smartblocks without double titles in the same hour of schedule !
I would like to give a big thank you to the team because they have done a beautiful work.
Big thanks also to @ boydbadten. His help was precious.
have a great week.
Patrick
