Media library
Upload and manage audio files for recording slots.
The Media view is your station's audio library. Files uploaded here can be attached to recording schedule slots.
Uploading files
- Open Media.
- Click Upload (or the upload button in the header).
- Select an audio file from your computer.
- Wait for the upload to complete.
Uploads go directly to your configured object storage (Cloudflare R2 in production). The API issues a presigned URL; the browser uploads the file, then confirms completion.
Upload limits
The default maximum upload size is 500 MB per file. Deployers can change this with the MEDIA_UPLOAD_MAX_BYTES environment variable.
Supported use
Media files are used as recording slot audio. Attach a file when creating or editing a recording slot on the schedule.
Image uploads may appear in the library filter, but recording slots use audio files.
Viewing and filtering
The media library lists all uploaded files with name, size, and upload time. Filter by:
- All
- Audio
- Image
Click a file to preview playback when supported.
Deleting media
- Select a file in the library.
- Click Delete.
- Confirm the deletion.
If a file is used by one or more schedule slots, deleting it clears the media attachment from those slots. The slots remain on the calendar but will not have audio until you attach a different file.
Local development
Media uploads require R2 credentials even when running locally. See Cloudflare R2 for setup.
Without valid R2 configuration, uploads fail even if the rest of the app works.
Tips
- Upload and test-play files before scheduling them, especially long recordings.
- Use descriptive file names so they are easy to find in the media picker when building slots.
- Keep a backup of your media outside rdio; object storage is the canonical store in production.
