Ark player feedback

Audio availability display

Each archive station has a page like this one for KCSM

that displays the audio for that stream available on the new HLS server.

When you hover over a green block using a desktop browser (i.e. not on mobile since touch interfaces don’t have cursor hovering) it display’s the file’s start time and duration.

In this example we see on Friday there’s a gap in KSYM’s archive from about 4:08:20 am until 4:15:03. That was probably due to some disruption upstream from Spinitron’s archive recorder.

If your archive playback stops mysteriously then you can check with this display for the stream in question.


[This makes me think that perhaps we should substitute gaps with some elevator music and a synthesized announcement.]
