NightrideFMon Music made from Windows 95 and XP sounds

Yeah, reminded me of this one too, classic!

Fixed

Oh that sounds like an interesting blend! Wonder if you can find any example artists/songs that fit what you recall

Hmm, will look into this one. Have some idea what it might be!

Ah this is one of your extensions / plugins adding a div to the page. and my CSS defaults setting it in a particular way... Extensions that add these kinds of elements to webpages are annoying, making assumptions about styling

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

there are reasons. Firefox has previously misbehaved with chained ogg via webaudio, old bugs that get fixed then regress, as is often the mozilla way.

Website should be updated to use a bitrate adaptive HLS stream like I do on nightride.fm - will backport that to rekt soon

Well before, some stray dev API keys were floating around (they never fully turned the API off, just stopped providing keys) but i think its mostly dead now. I was hoping Epic would get the API back up and running.

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Big ups

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

oh we looked into that a while back, should do so again

You can also tune into the non-rekt ones via YouTube

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Yeah... I've been meaning to write something a little more integrated and SEO friendly, rather than just iframing that blog, but I've not gotten around to it

You could try Karl Casey's White Bat Audio on youtube

Navigation without music interruption!

Yeah have thought about it, we have a fairly large community on discord that could help out too. I didn't want people clipping their signal too hard with the EQ, hence the current limit. I'd probably need to think about adding a limiter for the sake of people's speakers.

You can instead turn ethe other frequencies down and then your volume up, same effect ;)

Yep, this is actually on the cards. I've got nowplaying info returning spotify links to artist's tracks. The problem with bandcamp is they closed their API a long time ago, so i gotta manage my records semi-manually

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

!! Gotta make that new hardware perform on par with 90s gear

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

We take retro seriously, now your computer performs like a Pentium II

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Oh really? Interesting theory

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

thats awesome! glad you're enjoying it

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Oh man, would be a no-go for rekt I think. Perhaps with Nightride.FM Bluetooth comms should work with any smartphone though, but definitely works easier on androids

Milkdrop is still one of the best 2D visualisers in my opinion. The version running on the site is a port to JS called butterchurn, but has much better resolution and FPS than the original

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Rekt came first, maybe 8 years ago now, Nightride a later iteration catering to a larger community with all the music submitted by artists

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Its so hard to manage, over time songs can transition from being safe to not... Quite a pain. I did already have a stab at it

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Ahh, I could always turn it off, maybe I will

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Nice idea, will jot it down on the todo for the next rewrite

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

oooh, nice one. I wonder if that was related to me using /sanick commands, or a more general bug.

Rekt is some versions behind the nightride.fm version of the site

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Found the stray pushState

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

shhhh

NightrideFMon Rekt.network

Oh damn, I should probably fix that

NightrideFMon Liquidsoap – A scripting language for multimedia streaming

I've been using Liquidsoap for over 5 years now, running radio stations with live DJs, automatic archiving, volume normalisation and whatever custom stuff you want to add to it. I've also experimented with the video side of it for a few years, including OBS live video ingest support.

I currently run 5 Liquidsoap radio + video streams off the one server. It's a very powerful tool for broadcasting in general. Liquidsoap powered radio https://nightride.fm Liquidsoap powered video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgBcg4uBd9Q
