Two days in a row!!! I'm hoping this is it. Each day now the workload actually seems to be diminishing. If we hit 21 days in a row without a major glitch, I reckon it will be time to start publicising the station.runagate wrote:Seems like it's been pretty smooth sailing over at EMC.
Has your isp actually got everything ironed out?
Seems like there hasn't been a glitch for days.
At that point, all of the daily themed shows will kick in and we release our first EMCradio compilation to be hosted on http://www.archive.org/details/netlabels
Anyone interested in being on one of the compilations should head over to http://the-auditorium.net/viewforum.php?f=56
for more info.
We have pretty much the first release compiled but are already working on the second and third.
Meanwhile the radio program scripts are working away. One or two still crash the machine but its a development machine so it does not affect the radio proper.
And the site is pretty much in place. The various styles CSS and all that will be tweaked over a period of time to give a more cohesive look. And the various info pages were rushed to test content categories. These will all be formatted properly as will the browser discepencies.
Last but not least the abilty to rate tunes to give them more precedence has been fine tuned. The more you request a tune the more it is likely to be played over the entire day, ie a tune with 100% gets played about 6 times a day, most tunes are at 50% which means they might get played once a week. As a song is played it goes down .5% when it is requested it goes up 5%.
The radio also picks the least played song and least played artist at least once a show.
Commercial tunes are not requestable.
You can only request 5 times every five minutes and each request must be for a different act.
Top 10 requests are on the front page.
Still have work to fix the dynamic links on the playlists pages
