• Schedule: describes diffusions frequencies for each program;
• Track: track informations in a playlist of a diffusion;
• Sound: information about a sound that can be used for podcast or rerun;
• Log: logs

Architecture

A Station is basically an object that represent a radio station. On each station, we use the Program object, that is declined in two different types:

• Scheduled: the diffusion is based on a timetable and planified through one Schedule or more; Diffusion object represent the occurrence of these programs;
• Streamed: the diffusion is based on random playlist, used to fill gaps between the programs;

Each program has a directory in AIRCOX_PROGRAMS_DIR; For each, subdir:

• archives: complete episode record, can be used for diffusions or as a podcast
• excerpts: excerpt of an episode, or other elements, can be used as a podcast

manage.py's commands

• diffusions: update/create, check and clean diffusions based on programs schedules;
• import_playlist: import a playlist from a csv file, and associate it to a sound;
• sound_monitor: check for existing and missing sounds files in programs directories and synchronize the database. It can check for the quality of file and update sound info.
• sound_quality_check: check for the quality of the file (don't update database);
• streamer: audio stream generation and control it;
