I'm good at this shit. I'm particularly proud of the interchangeable connector blocks. Now that I've discovered crimp multipins I'm kind of flying through this BS. There's a lot of electronics there, and in order to pinout it properly for where it needs to go, I think I've decided to do a jumper box with a bunch of pin headers in it. There's definitely going to be nonsense and if this were audio nonsense? there'd be a goddamn patchbay. Let's do an experiment. Click this link. Ignore the first two minutes. Let it play for a while.
I cannot for the life of me get that .m4a to load. Maybe my IP is blacked out? I tried yesterday too.
File serves, actually. "listenership" is a bitch to measure, and there's no reasonable granularity from Nielsen. So the proxy the radio station uses is "do people donate a lot during your timeslot" and "what's the streaming count." They've shunted us to 11pm-2am which is really going to drive a lot of timeshifting. That file is raw off their server. I wanna see if it ticks up from plays outside their ecosystem (website and app). 'cuz then I can wrap it in my own player on my own site. Yes, a reasonable radio station could answer these questions. This is not a reasonable radio station.
I skipped to 2:16 right as Ministry dropped in... I'm good for a while. I'll let I play through the hour. gotta grind through some late night work as it is... might as well do it with some ear bleeding treats. edit: Shazam doesn't really understand industrial music.
If they do collect those analytics, which I guess most hosts do by default, you should see some from Poland. Maybe Ukraine too. I tapered off around minute 14 because repetitive music = me drowsy, and I can't go to sleep now. Yeah, I kinda got turned off from current livestream by the twitch-grade "let's drop everything to shout-out donations" focus. The one radio I listen to has a patreon, though, so maybe it's those damn times changing again.So the proxy the radio station uses is "do people donate a lot during your timeslot" and "what's the streaming count."
They're doing things very, very badly. I'm in the process of revamping everything (at least in my corner of the world) but it's slow going.
