God loving drat. Third time today I'm hearing Eläkeläiset on the radio. I might as well be listening to gbs.fm.

I'm sure that people would complain a lot less if companies used GBS.FM as their hold music.

Warning: tech stuff. I tried to reply to http://gbs.fm/forum/thread/492/ but pressing submit keeps giving me a 500 - Internal Server Error. DaWolfey posted:We updated Shoutcast to Shoutcast 2 build 29 on 2011-08-03 Yeah it's one and a half years old but no one else is doing any gbs-fm development apparently. Here's my would be post: Is this still a problem on G2? I've been messing around with the G3 image, I have it set so that it only uses sc_trans and sc_serv (no ices). This apparently just plays random dongs. I ran into a problem where sc_serv would "randomly" exit with the following in blahblah.../sc_serv/nohup.out: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): XML parser error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 6 This is apparently related to the following xml data created by sc_trans (I'm reading this from .../sc_trans/nohup.out): ...xml stuff... <title seq="1"><8B@89 <8B@8528G (>AB0:>28G - Symphony No. 14, Op. 135: I. De Profundis: Adagio</title> ...more xml stuff... As you can see it's A) Not encoding utf-8 correctly (well, take my word for it - the correct artist is shown later). B) putting < and > characters inside an xml tag in a way that causes obviously invalid xml. There's an "updated" version of sc_trans that fixes A and B (I put "updated" in quotes because it's from october, 2011...). Running the updated sc_trans gives me: ...xml stuff... <title seq="1">Дмитрий Дмитриевич Шостакович - Symphony No. 14, Op. 135: I. De Profundis: Adagio</title> ...more xml stuff... Now, I guess G2 uses ices rather than sc_trans, but I'm also going to guess that sc_serv is crashing (or exitting) due to bad xml being sent to it by whatever. Which is a stupid thing for a server to do. I guess Someone forgot to handle an exception while using a xml parsing library. So IF my assumptions about the causes of the crash and the way g2 works are correct, we can fix this for G2 in one of the following ways: A) Aggressively edit mp3 metadata so that it doesn't generate invalid xml. This would probably mean banning utf-8/unicode/whateves for uniformities sake. B) If it's ices that's making the invalid xml, then we might be able to fix this by editing and recompiling the ices sourcecode. C) It would sure be nice if there was a shoutcast server that didn't crash because something gave it invalid xml. Lowen fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Feb 9, 2013 |

On vacation and looking for some good music to and of course and I can turn to my Goons to give me some good tunes to listen to at all times. First time checking out the stream and I am loving it so far!

Lowen posted:Warning: tech stuff. Would this also have something to do with the bug that sub-20 second dongs are being repeated until they've played for more than 20 seconds? It makes short jingles kind of annoying, and they shouldn't be.

Merijn posted:Would this also have something to do with the bug that sub-20 second dongs are being repeated until they've played for more than 20 seconds? It makes short jingles kind of annoying, and they shouldn't be. I didn't know about that bug, but no. What I was talking about is strictly a text encoding issue with ices and SHOUTcast DNAS 2.0 aka sc_serv, and older versions of sc_trans. It only comes up with dongs that have unicode metadata (title, artist, etc). In my testing the dong plays fine, but if I connect to the test station via winamp, I don't see any metadata, or get the metadata for the last song played. For fun I left Winamp connected while it played one of the bad dongs over and over - it played fine but added a (station name) tag to the end every time so I got (G2VM) (G2VM) (G2VM) (G2VM) (G2VM) (G2VM) (G2VM) (G2VM) (G2VM) or something like that showing in my Winamp playlist. If I use the shoutcast admin.cgi to lookup the last played songs it also complains about bad xml and doesn't show anything, but doesn't crash either. If I then reconnect via Winamp while the bad dong is playing, the station crashes. sc_serv exits saying something about bad xml, and the transcoder (ices, in the case of G2) quits soon after because it can't connect to sc_serv. Once I managed to get the server to crash by putting a < in an artist name and tested the same thing on the live GBS-FM (with permission), but it didn't work. I can't replicate that on my test server now, and it seems to encode < safely with code:
Some more information in case anyone is curious. I've poured over logs, added additional logging in views.py, etc in order to determine where the fault lies: pydj/playlist/views.py next() seems fine, it apparently encodes things safely for xml and supports international characters correctly. ices grabs that and apparently can't deal with international characters. ices then sends the metadata with garbled international characters (potentially garbled as <,>, etc) to sc_serv, which seems ok with it until a client reconnects and causes sc_serv to realize it has badly formed xml, then it quits.

Here's a little AppleScript I wrote to upload songs that GBS FM from inside iTunes. You'll need growl helper app installed for notifications to work, and the ffmpeg binary installed either in a path referenced by your bash_profile, or in the default path. Sorry, Mac only obviously. code:

Who needs a script when you can just drag and drop a bunch of files from the Itunes window to an FTP icon? Overengineering is bad, folks.

Yeah, but people still have the same amount of time to spend watching video streams as they did back then. I listen to the audio stream while I'm working or driving or folding laundry. If I have time to sit and watch videos, I'm definitely not letting you assholes pick them for me.
