Hey people,

I just discovered this amazing software that you build which helped me a lot with setting up my radio.

The thing is, when i schedule a show and when show actually is live and ON AIR there is no audio outputting.

In audio player when i select a song i can hear it but in live stream there is no audio…

Any idea what this might cause? I followed just one youtube tutorial of installing libretime by official libretime channel, then i just added few tracks and scheduled a show.

EDIT: I have found fix for this, in the settings under Streams i had to change from stream type ‘ogg’ to ‘mp3’

However problem now is that when tracks are uploaded they are cut in half of it’s length.  
Right now i have no idea what might cause this as i haven’t touched settings at all, just followed right path for installing

I would check your icecast setup directly. Goto [http://hostname:8000](http://hostname:8000) and see if it shows up there as playing. You should be able to click on one of the links and see if it plays.

I suspect you need a newer version of silan look at the release notes. What version of Linux are you using.

I’m using droplet - Ubuntu 16.04.6 x64

Is it easy to update via shell?

So yeah, Ubuntu 16.04 ships with a bad version of Silan.  
You can find more info [here](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/releases#issues-silan-3.0.0-alpha.8) and install a new package [here](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/wiki/Silan-Installation).
