Edited Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 1:53 PM I'm just curious, as I have no idea about the American Timezone system [although I know LA is GMT -08 so Loveline is live from 06:00 to 08:00 my time], but I'm just wondering, how long in hours is it untill the shows appear in mp3 format, especially on ftp://64.29.16.135/ , as they always appear by lunchtime for me meaning that I guess you guys encode untill about 02:00!... I'm just curious as the time on the ftp://64.29.16.135/ site says about 06:45 and that confuses me even more!... —salemthepocketfox |

Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 2:31 PM I'm not sure what time zone the FTP is in either, but I know that FTP is probably the fastest of anyone to get the shows. I sometimes put my shows on the hub about a half hour after the show gets over, but only if I'm still awake when it finishes, which isn't often. Otherwise I usually get it up about 8 hours after the show's over. —puck71 |

Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 3:31 PM I can only speak for the shows that are on the following servers:
http://loveline.njctech.com
http://ll.njctech.com
http://loveline.hamncheez.com
ftp://64.29.16.135
ftp://loveline:isu@mtgiowa.com
The show is recorded live, which is 22:00-0:00 Pacific time. Shortly thereafter it is uploaded to my server. Then automatically at 02:00 Pacific its sent to all of the above servers, and to ACE who shares on the hub. Why wait 2 hours? Well, because they are manually uploaded by the person who records em and don't always arrive at the same time.
All of my machines (njctech.com) are physically in EST, I don't know about the others.So the answer is 02:00 PT or 10:00 UTC/GMT (but, since it takes some time to transfer the files, all the servers don't have it until about 15m later) ***Tonight I'm going to try to record the show in OGG (yes, really). It may/may not work so don't get excited just yet. I can't do it real-time cuz I'll be asleep when it happens. Whatever file is created will be sent to all the servers just like normal. —NJC |

Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 3:47 PM If everything's automated, how do you remove the commercials? It seems to me the shows I get off the FTP's are commercial free... As for OGG, I'm trying it too, but haven't found suitable settings for it yet. —puck71 |

Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 3:59 PM If you notice, NJC said, "because they are manually uploaded by the person who records em" - which means that someone (is it steve?) records the show, removes the commercials, then uploads to NJC for distribution. —Kevin U. |

Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 5:21 PM Yep, that's right Kevin. I listen to the show live, so I merely stop recording during the commercials and begin recording again when they come back from break, preferrably during 91X's local bumper or during whatever bumper Anderson plays. At the end of the show, I save it to my hard drive and then FTP it to NJC -- the whole process usually takes about five to ten minutes, which means he has it around 12:30am PT/ 3:30am ET/ 8:30am GMT. We had run into a problem a while back where the transfer was incredibly slow -- it was taking as long as 1 to 2 hours just to send one show. But nowadays, we're at a transfer rate of about 5 minutes/ 100KB upload speed. Goodtimes. —steve |
