Hi there, ladies and gentlemen.I recently started working on an update to a certain totally not /mlp/ related radio station.Turns out, the new system can run more than a single stream. Figured why not have some fun.I want (You)>YES, (You)!to become a radio DJ for the station! Only if you want, that is.>What does that entail?Upload some music to the server, add it to a playlist and have me schedule it to play.You can also have live broadcasts if you want to have something podcast like or want to do live DJ mixing.We can schedule those in. Maybe some bogus newscasts might be funny>I don't want to be a DJ, faggotMaybe help come up with a better name than /mlpfm/ or a logo or some shit if you want.Or maybe discuss in here what you want to hear/see out of it.>How do I contact you?In this thread. Drop an E-Mail if you want to take part in thisOr send one to pon3cast@pony.horse
just a little curious, squashsoup@protonmail.com
do you accept travelers checks?
>>41026301do I accept what?
Not sure if I'd have the chops to do...anything related to running a radio station. Especially not a fandom one. Most of my pone music tastes have stagnated as far back as 2014, and a lot of stuff I just don't remember the name of. I don't have any art skills and my voice sucks.I wish you luck though, I know I would enjoy tuning in at least.
>>41026203Sounds sexy, I can alternate between that and horse.radio because horse is 70% dogshit these daysCan we do ALL the pony zones? Also can we do tons of songs by well known board musicians like Vultraz and BGM?
>>41026203sexy sexy swibble ears pierced unfa sex necklace sex cum sex bedroom eyes rapefuel
>>41026203this actually sounds like a great idea so i'll give you some free advice: don't call yourself radioanon. that's a name others will give you, NEVER something you give yourself. otherwise you look like an offboarder. Don't call yourself that ever again.
>>41026366Working as intended, I see.
>>41026203so I can make one of those DJ mix sets with pony songs, right?
>>41026358Doesn't have to be pony music. Upload whatever you think people would enjoy and playlist it together.>>41026364If you sign up as a DJ, whatever you want to put in is fair game as long as it is at least somewhat decent quality and not entirely dogshit.Memes should be fine>>41026391Pal, I've been using the board for years. I call myself radio anon so people actually know who to reply to. Which is what you use names for in a thread, may I add.I could have just gone with OP too, if you preferred, or tripped.Not that it is much of a secret of who I am>>41026409Damn right you can
>>41026561>palfaggot
>>41026595>no argumentOk, faggot
I hope this takes off, horse radio is... fine but there's so much crap I wish it didn't play.
I am a radio host and sent you an email anon :)
>>41026239>>41026747Sent you both an emailStill accepting more people, obviously!
>>41026561>Damn right you canbetponkapony69@gmail.com
>>41026203I was really hoping something like this would happen again after Woot went nuclear. As long as you guys aren't turbospergs it should be a fun listen.
>>41026203*vinyl scratch sound*>YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO>*Thunder followed by Nightmare Moon laughing*>106.9>*piano falls on Twilight*>MARE FM>*elements of harmony BTFOing Nightmare Moon*>WHERE WE PLAY NOTHING BUT PONY, PONY, AND MORE PONY>*It needs to be about 20% Cooler*>*Rarity crying*>THIS AIN'T GRANNY SMITH'S STATION>*Discord by The Living Tombstone starts playing*
>>41027460I FUCKED IT, KILL ME
>>41027460If you can get this as a jingle mp3 fot me I'll add it
>>41026561>Doesn't have to be pony music, whatever you want to put in is fair gameOk good, my sources aren't limited to just pony music, I can add some good shit too
Nice we can always use more pony music radio stations. I hope you guys play classical music at night. I miss falling asleep to luna radio.
>>41027873Depends on when night is.I would be down to schedule classical (pony) music. You got some?
>>41027460>>41027676NTA but this amused mehttps://files.catbox.moe/vxucyp.mp3
>>41027914PERFECTION
>>41027914That is going in immediately, thank you anon
>>41027914
>>41027914No Pinkie Pie?
>>41027873>>41027889I got a torrent of some luna radio tracks. I haven't checked it in depth, but there's 6,43gb of tracks some dude in some luna radio discord compiled, i now got on my file server.I was really into getting Luna Radio resurrected, but life and priorities happened.
>>41028088Pinkie was busy, Hitler.
Update on the station: 3 people have messaged me and are added as DJs.The station is currently online with a VERY limited selection of music that hopefully expands soonBranding still sucks, if you guys have anything to make it look better, hit me upStream is going to be available under>https://mlpfm.pony.horse/public/mlpfm>https://mlpfm.pony.horse:8020/radio.mp3 (if you want a direct URL to the stream)
>>41028490Does the music have to be pony themed?
>>41028501See >>41026561
By the way, if ANY thread wishes to make radio ads or jingles (representing themselves or pony products) to play on the station, send them to me and I'll drop them in
>>41026203I know /a/ has their r/a/dio and I think [s4s] has their own radio, any other boards have anything similar?
NO JEFF BURGESS??? ARE YOU A FUCKING ZIGGER LOVER???
could i reqoust radio anon remove the song "Mommy's Soothing Lullaby" its not the fucking song i want to hear when masturbating to ponies or ever
>>41029074Yeah wasn't a fan of that either. I took it out
This really is a mixed bag of tunes. Where hell did you get this pile from.
>>41029167It's /mlp/'s >No fun allowed charity album from years ago.Was something /mlp/ telated I had on hand at this moment until people are going to feed in actual music to play
what the fuck are half these songs? is this a prank
>>41027873>>41027889>I miss falling asleep to luna radio.>I was really into getting Luna Radio resurrected, but life and priorities happened.Guess who's back? Back again. https://ponyvillefm.com/
>>41029836Just really not sure how I feel about Ponyville fm's takeover. whenever approached about it, being dismissive and very untransparent about it all. At least from my outside view.Centralization under their umbrella rubs me the wrong way.
>>41029836Fuck yeah, just in time to go sit outside on a cool spring night and read horse words next to the fire pit.
>>41026203this is really cool. but like 90% of pony music is generic edm that has no pony connection except for albulm art. but you lose that with the radio format. i really though always wanted a live radio thing. where multiple shows would happen and music inbetween and what not. we even had a show on everfree radio for a bit, before getting kicked off for being too edgey. it makes me nostalgic. wish radio wasnt dead.
>>41030261You know that I'm totally down to having live shows be part of this, right?
>>41030267oh i get that. it would be sick. would remind me of the good ol days of 2012. is this under ponyvilefm? seems theres 17 people listening live on a Wednesday night. so thats not bad.
>>41030261Why not do a twitch stream? You can have album art and stuff on. There are tons of music twitch channels.
>>41030278Waste of bandwidth, going to a video streaming platform, and all the deepfried bullshit they include, just for music.Pointless as it's the music that's the focus, put on a winamp visualizer if you need more stimulation.Not under the boot of Amazon and can do whatever and present it how ever we feel like.
>>41030278>>41030287Public page for the radio does display track and cover art, just fyi>>41030277It's my own thing. Nobody telling me what I can and can't do.
>>41030278>>41030295>>41030287i was just joshing about the generic edm thing. twitch is cool, minus the ads. but the whole point is one unified radio channel with everyone.
So... were there no interest in the pile of tracks I offered in >>41028252? I'll just sit keep sitting on them regardless.
>>41030333Oh there absolutely is.I was thinking you'd send an email
>>41030338I was just waiting for a cue. Hope this isn't too cumbersome,https://moontracks.kirin.software
>>41030343Splendid. Now I just need to figure out how to get that onto the radio server without too much of a hassle
>>41030408I was considering packing it into a zip for you, but then It would use double the space, and I like keeping the loose files for other nerds that might want to browse.Then it struck me I could just give you the magnet link. hah. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:8ad5dac9215995646bb5cdc0e4bc37868399040c&dn=MusicBee&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80%2Fannounce
>>41030343I absolutely love wget like you wouldn't believe.Downloading your music right now to get it imported, anon
>>41031022Good style! Just wasn't sure what could traverse an nginx autoindex.
Little bit of a setback right now, my system just keeps locking up for some inexplicable reason.Working on getting that resolved
>>41031072>drive failure on the VPS systemholy shit my sides, can't even download the fucking backups fuck
>>41028490>https://mlpfm.pony.horse/public/mlpfmis it dead already? I click the link but appears to be broken.
>>41031287What the hell are these chumps you were hosting at?
>>41031324No fucking clue. Trying to do Disk I/O just locks up the system. Can't even pull the backups like this
Thanks to AUTISM (I am autistic) I managed to pull the auto backup file. Should make resetting the entire thing much more bareable
>>41031479woah we had no clue that you might possibly be autistic
>>41031484i didn't know...
Yeah, the server's disk seems completely and utterly shot. Not even an OS reinstall is working. Already got in contact with my VPS provider avout it, BUT I have the backup file on my 2nd server after messing around with a shit for hours so once I got a stable host again I hope to get the station set up very quickly again.
if https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weZqmNTmLaM isnt on the fucking radio when its back up i will throw a fucking fit
>>41031571f
>>41030085From what I can see, it wasn’t exactly a takeover. The original Luna Radio team just stopped one day and let the site go into disuse. Fans have been asking for Luna Radio to make a return since then. I guess that prompted PVFM to eventually resurrect it by taking the playlist and playing that. It’s not so much a takeover since the original team isn’t even around anyway.
>>41028490links don't work.
>>41033079Read the thread. Server disk died completely and is currently being re-setup
bumping thread to say I've been listening to hyperdrama nonstop and might add a few tracks from it into my dj sets
Restore is going on rn
I HAVE UNFUCKED THE RADIO STATIONYou should now be able to listen again. I am also in the process of importing the entire lunafm library from >>41030343, so that is going to make up most of the music for now
Ah yes a new radio thread maybe I’ll finally be able to track down the source of this one song that’s been eluding me
just started adding some songs on my part, one of which just started playing as I'm typing this lol
> not limited to pony musicThen what is the fucking point exactly?
>>41034617I will handle that via scheduling.I'll make sure that pony music is what is scheduled most of the time and have a couple drops of other music at specific time slots
What kind of studio do you have anon?
>>41034687A shitty desk and a shitty server on the web
Your radio doesn't have every pony song ever fucking made including that one specific, obscure one from 2013 with 200 views which I want to hear? KILL YOURSELF OP
Why it sometimes stops and doesn't work until reloading the page
>>41035698I get that both here and on horse radio when using firefox.Also the mlp plays album thing is so deep fried what the fuck. Either it's a giant meme, it's just bad or it's some horror shit.
>>41035839I've tried firefox, firefox andorid and chorme but horse radio only stops on mobile.
>>41026239WELL WELL WELL SO YOURE THE FUCKER WHO STOLE THAT EMAIL ADDRESS FROM ME
>>41036085Shoulda been quicker
Mare tunes
>>41034680so do we just upload non-pony music into a specific folder and leave it for you to schedule?
>>41037114Would appreciate that. Although I am down to work out a schedule together.Just put them into a different playlist from your main one, you can have as many playlists as you want
>>41027914Goddamn, anon that's awesome!
>>41037322wouldn't it still be added to the queue either way if I add it into a separate playlist?
>>41038388A separate playlist allows me to schedule it to only play during specific time frames.
>>41038393So like this then? I have the non-pony playlist disabled for you to schedule.
>>41038414exactly, thanks ponkafren!
>>41026203Glad to have a new radio station to blast out of my car, I've been doing a lot of driving recently, and while horse radio has a lot of bangers, it's got a quite a few that grate on me. And it's got pony zone, which I'm not nearly shameless or autistic enough to keep playing at full volume when I'm going through towns.
>>41027460DISCORD IM HOWLING AT THE MOON SLEEPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SUMMER AFTERNOON fuck that chorus is just engrained in my head
>>41041530Hahah, that's hilarious anon! Anyways the radio station is working for all of you guys right? I think the playlist at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88_U32dKr2Y&list=PLu4wnki9NI_8VmJ7Qz_byhKwCquXcy6u9&index=31 will work fine!
>>41028490You could add a 302 redirect from mlpfm.pony.horse to the /public/mlpfm path, for convenience. I like that it shows previous tracks, but the sheer soul of shoutcast on radio.horse is difficult to match. Listened a bit to yours, then tracks went dubstep so I stopped, will tune in again tomorrow at work. Thanks for putting another pony thing on da interwebz.
>>41043448The 302 is a good idea, imma look into that.Horse.radio runs on icecast. So does /mlpfm/ btw. Hell, if you guys got some assets I can style the /mlpfm/ site to look like whatever I/you want it to.As for the dubstep, maybe I should try sorting by genre, although that is probably gonna be a pain in the arse
>>41043448mlpfim.pony.horse now properly directs to the public page
>>41044829Check it again
>>41044829it says the domain is parked
>>41044845>>41044847anon made a typo - mlpfm.pony.horse has the good redirect. Also anon, why would you have your registrar use wildcard on nonexistent subdomains to redirect to almost a "lol the owner stopped paying us" webpage?
>>41044996Because that is what my registrar does. I can't change that unless I register every subdomain.Why do I use this registrar? Because I have used them for over a decade and I really don't wanna bother moving all my domains (as well as my email systems that I tied to it, etc)I'll take having it say "domain parked" when someone (me) typos my domain instead of having to mess with email
>>41036989
What an ugly oc bumpNot sure what's on the playlist now but it needs sim gretinas princess of the night stupid remix
Oh yeah, and while you're new buy a nice domain without all the fluff. Horse.radio is nice and easy to remember so go for something like that without the subdomains.
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
Lovely. Tunes to repair my car with
I will be blasting this station at full volume in my car while driving to work
How do I find this station? Is it on AM/FM or shortwave? And how far does it broadcast? I see people mentioning weird website stuff, but how is a website related to radio? Do people unironically call something like Spotify “radio”?
>>41047339Do you need help getting home, grandpa?
>>41047683>refuses to explain anything>calls me out of datenigger, radio stations still exist, and will for decades to come. Why is this called a "radio station" if its just a internet stream?Regardless, the OP has laughably little info on how to connect/hear the "station" he's providing. And only has his email to contact him.
>>41047998Are you retarded?First of allhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_radioSecond, read the thread, the links were already posted.
>>41048153>proves my point further by linking to "internet radio" which just says that the medium is a internet stream that runs off of someones serverI think you're the retarded one, but regardless the OP should've made a guide for connecting to his stream, especially when in something like a vehicle, since you'd probably have to use cell data.
>>41026203>Maybe help come up with a better name than /mlpfm/ or a logo or some shit if you want.How about "Radio Free Equestria"?
>>41048176>I think you're the retarded oneNo, it's definitely you and that post just proved it further. Are you also confused by the term cotton candy since it doesn't have literal cotton in it?
>>41027914Beautiful. This better play at the beginning of every broadcast.
>>41048202>still not even realizing he is wrong.Internet RADIO and a Internet STREAM are the same things, and calling it internet "radio" is a misnomer because it doesn't actually use designated FCC broadcast channels, and instead is transmitted through Ethernet and 4G/5G.
>>41048214Go complain about that to the guy who came up with the term in fucking 1993, after which it became an accepted way to refer to these things, even if it's not LITERALLY radio.Nowadays everyone knows what is meant when someone says internet radio station, except you apparently.
>>41047339A radio station is basically just a stream of music that is managed by a DJ/station operator. A webradio is the same thing, a radio operator controlling what music is being played but instead of running over AM/FM (and only being broadcast in a certain area) you can listen to it anywhere on the world via the internet.Most AM/FM stations nowadays broadcast to a web stream as well, since it is 1.) more reliable, 2.) higher quality, 3.) basically has no downsides, 4.) extends their reach>>41047998>>41046633The station was in the middle of setup when I made it. It is now reachable under>https://mlp.radio
>>41048253>no gorrilaz>not a single fucking songdo I have to reach out to give you the .m4a files and .mp4 files? Any rules on hosting a "music video" version of a song? Since I personally think 19-2000 sounds better with the music video noises compared to the record single.
>>41048196That was an early series in the fandom: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC7E8DF3EFA999E46No one’s stopping anyone from using that name though.
page 10 wtfwe can't die like this bros
I'm a bit intrested in doing a show, like you talked about. idk when, but i think it would be fun, what would that look like? also can the player show viewers? maybe it would be on the host anyway to take song request from the audience?
>41047339 and so onImagine bitching this hard about utterly pointless semantics no one else have any issue with or give a flying fuck about. Way to waste peoples bandwidth and contribute absolutely nothing. Don't be this guy, kids.Anyway, back to poner tunes, as I have breakfast.
NeatWHy dont we have more stuff like this?
>>41048283As long as you convert it to mp3 I don't mind>>41049425>can the player show viewerswhat exactly do you mean? You ARE able to see viewer count if that is what you want to know. And the system already has an integrated way for people to ask for songs. You could also run a show by connecting to an icecast server (with any kind of local webradio software) or by using the web DJ panel
Had a couple people email me about doing live shows. So that'll be cool.Still hoping for jingles/ads for other threads to drop in as well.Any maybe a cooler bsckground for the station's page.
>>41052777> HOLY TRIPSglad I finally checked into this thread, seems like a neat project. Might put together a little 15 second station callsign filler thing>>41026638like what, I personally don't like the pornographic songs the last time I tuned int. prude i guess :'(
>>41052794I can follow that. Sometimes when I feel like playing the best our lovely fandom has to offer to outsiders, I briefly consider horse radio, until i remember ponyzone plays on it.
To not keep this thread shitty and idle, what would people like to see from this station? If there were live shows/podcasts, what would you want to have happen in there?Live fanfic readin or something maybe? Anything you guys think other threads can contribute?
>>41054882I think you just need to take some initiative and say "This is what is going to happen". Relying solely on others input and vision to develop a new project like this, is a slow, if not dead end, way of doing it.Get a timetable on the site, get some time slots to fill in. That also gives us dumb consoomers times and dates when shit is gonna happen and be hyped for.Further, maybe consider some musical direction for the radio in general, so it isn't just everything but the kitchen sink getting jammed into the main playlist. Maybe even different playlist with different vibes for different automated timeslots.
>>41055142This anon is smart. Do this.
>>41055142>>41055379seconded
Where did RadioAnon go
>>41058153Still here, just had a rather busy week(end) behind me.I had 2 people contact me that I still need to work with and then imma look into setting a schedule/rotation
>>41058490it's ok, take your time anon
>>41060138But not too long. Don't blue ball us here.
is the sound broken for other anons or just me?
>>41063471nevermind lol
>>41054882maybe make a simple webpage with a player, current playing and listener stats, that would be sorta neato
>>41064211oh hey, found it >>41048253https://mlp.radiostill could use listener stats, imagine a stupid little web based chat too
>>41027460>>41027914https://files.catbox.moe/uthz7x.mp4
>>41064387it's perfect
>>41064387noice
>>41064387kek
>>41026203holy fuck I was just thinking about this yesterday, I am all over this shit
today I learned that captainhoers actually sped up the song for his animation
really digging this one
>took 20 minutes for a song I requested to be playednot bad I guess, but still like it took a while
>>41065551feels like*
another weird but total banger that one was
bless this radio. i havent listened to eurobeat brony in over a decade
>>41065551>>41065556I have absolutely no fucking clue how song requesting works, it seems to be broken as all hell.Azuracast's support also fucking sucks and I haven't gotten a single reply about my question on how this (very much undocumented feature) works
Toying with the idea of writing a web radio server tool from scratch..
jesus all the mlp movie soundtrack songs are utter dogshit
>song played earlieris there a way for the program to flag a song if it's already been played recently so that it can't be played again until tomorrow/after X amount of days?
>>41064211I tried embedding an IRC client but apart from mibbit there is no functioning one and I am not gonna put ads on my site. RIP KiwiIRC, you were the best. Maybe I should just write my own chat server, but that would be a pain in the ass>>41066079Right now duplicate prevention is set to 120 minutes. Can probably up that though.
>>41066109would this be of any help?https://snowpity.com/MareChat.html
>>41066119You know what, why the fuck not.Done.
holy shit I just tuned in, how did you manage to do the bumper without including it as its own track? (it also kinda overlapped the beginning of the song that was playing)
>>41066164I think it plays when you hit the Play button. also kinda funny that it plays the first two notes of Discord still lol
>>41066177yeah cause I figured if we get multiple bumpers we'd have to add them in between songs
>>41066164>>41066177>>41066195Icecast supports an intro track. It plays any time you tune into the station.This is NOT set up as a bumper to play mid songs, I don't have any of those. Yet.If you guys have ideas for (thread) ads or some jokes like that and can turn them into bumpers, please do!
>>41066210is there an official station name for it, unless /mlpfm/ will be the name?
>>41066210>jokes that can be turned into bumperssnowpity and iwtcird better be on that list
>>41066220You got a better name? I am all ears
Alright so I JUST figured out how song requests work.>>41065551>>41065556>>41065775The AutoDJ has a certain amount of tracks that it automatically adds to the queue. When requesting, the track is added in addition to those tracks already in the queue.I now set the queue length from 3 to 2 (which is the lowest). Which means when you request a song, it should play as the 3rd song coming up (currently playing + 2 queued tracks + your request)
>>41066134nicely done!
>>41050193https://files.catbox.moe/lp4bqg.mp3https://files.catbox.moe/zy732m.mp3https://files.catbox.moe/z60558.m4ahttps://files.catbox.moe/v7in1b.m4ahttps://files.catbox.moe/eqn72w.m4ajust convert the .m4a to .mp3
>>41066710I gotchu senpai, just added some Gorillaz songs I had saved on my PC.
reminder
>>41066890Thanks anon
Is the website down for anypony else right now?
>>41069670yes
>>41069757just making sure im not the only one
>>41069670>>41069757>>41069811System ran out of resources.I rebooted everything and it is back up. I might have to shill out for a much more powerful host, my CPU is basically consistently at its limits.I might also just disable loudness normalization, that could help too
>>41069848ah, that explains it
website broke again lol
>>41072760fixedAlso implemented automatically rebooting every day to hopefully bandaid fix this
Thanks for this Anon, Radio officially fucking SLAPS
What's the proper way to request music get added? Just mention songs here? Host mp3 files and link?
>>41078512Message the radio host to get upload/management perms.Alternatively link a download
>3 people contact me to do live shows>Say hell yeah>All 3 ghosting meREEEEEEEE
>>41078777nice trips btw
>>41081774Get shit rolling without the need for dudes to do live shows. Still need a schedule and stuff on the site, and, if I may add, more of a musical direction for the radio, rather than everything but the kitchen sink being played. I think i mentioned that before. What do you want the radio to be?
I'd love to participate and do a live show, but what would that entail? I mean, would I be restricted to playing pony music? Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I just want to know.
hope you're happy, gorillaz anon
>>41084201I am.Sadly nu-Gorrilaz is still dogshit so I’m stuck listening to demon dayz and their original debut album
>>41084201That's the kind of music I'd gladly play as a radio DJ.
>>41026203I love radio and I'm slightly interested hardfixx@proton.me
>>41082981Mostly pony music. I want to schedule people uploading their music in specific time slots kind of a "you can show off your music here!"Moreover I have a couple people who told me they want to do weekly (quasi)live performances.Right now my schedule is probably gonna be Mostly Pinkie Anon's pony uploads, fixed schedule of playing Ponies@Dawn, fixed schedule for lunar radio (anon who usually falls asleep to that, what time do you want that to be?) and a small timeslot each day of maybe 2 hours with non pony music>>41083805We currently have a daily timeslot of mixing in non pony music. I might reduce the time but make it exclusively non pony.You can either upload music, perform something live, or pre-record a performance.>>41084409E-Mail sent
A live show sounds fun. I'd be down to do fanfic readthroughs or something like that, but I'd prefer to do it with a couple other people.
