Radio station settings

Configure your station-wide settings in the admin area under Radio Settings.

General settings

Station name

Enter the official name of your radio station in the field.

Station website

Enter the main website here. This is not the URL where the AURA Dashboard is provided.

Programme settings

Fallback show

The fallback show is used when the programme timetable holds empty timeslots.

In such cases AURA automatically creates dynamic timeslots assigned to the chosen show.

Typically this is a show, which is dedicated to random fallback music.

CBA settings

CBA API key

The CBA API key is used to translate any given CBA media source to the actual media file.

In the future it used for providing additional CBA API resources, for example to integrate AURA and CBA to your radio station website.

In addition CBA offers certain web customizations and analytics based on that API key. So it is important to use your personal radio station key.

Revisit this documentation in future releases of AURA and learn about advancements of the CBA integration.

Public API-use

Ensure not to use any internal CBA API key here. Since this is meant for public access, the given API key should not provide any advanced CBA features, like giving access to internal metadata or upload capabilities. When in doubt, check back with CBA if your are allowed to use the provided key here.

CBA domains

This JSON field holds an array of valid CBA domains.

These domains are used for automatically identifying CBA media links. Based on that, Dashboard is able to automatically translate such CBA URLs to actual media resource. Also compare the previous section on the CBA API key.

The default values are:

  • cba.media - the current main CBA domain.

  • cba.fro.at - the legacy CBA domain, still kept for compatibility purposes.

  • cba.aura.radio - replace this with cba.myradio.org if your radio provides a CBA proxy.

Play-out settings

Line-in channels

This JSON mapping holds a list of all available studios at your radio station.

Add all studios which are connected to AURA Playout via line-in.

This is the basis for displaying available line-in channels in the media source section of Dashboard.

The key of an entry holds the channel number, starting with 1. Ensure, that each channel you are defining here, there needs to be an equivalent configuration in AURA Playout. The value of each is the channel name, how it will be presented in Dashboard.
