As I also have occasional problems with rdairplay quitting, I have a script
tied to a silence sense to deal with this. The script restarts it and tells it
to start playing if it finds rdairplay not running. Since it also logs the
event, I found in my case the quitting seems to only happen when loading a new
log (which we do just after midnight). For us this has been a great "band-aid"
fix for the problem for now. Our main "On-Air" computer has hardware silence
sense (Broadcast Tools 8x2 audio router), but our "backup" system does not, so
I instead used "Silent-Jack" with the Jack-audio running on the system to give
the same result. If you are interested, I can share the details of either or
both with you on this.
As far as the "refresh log" issue, last I checked (which was several versions
ago) I don't think that worked for me either, but just assumed I somehow was
misunderstanding its purpose or usage.
I agree that paid for support might be in order here (probably for us too) as
this is the normal procedure with most of the other leading commercial systems
out there anyway. In fact when comparing the Rivendell experience to other
commercial systems, though I often complain about the unclear and incomplete
documentation of Rivendell, it tends to be far better documented than most of
those other systems anyway, as I think they want you to be really dependent on
their support contracts.

Subject: [RDD] RDAirplay just quitting and Log not refreshing
properly.

I have had yet another instance of RDAirplay randomly quitting for no apparent
reason and resulting in chaos at the station. Why the hell is it doing this?
Also, when I perform a log edit, despite "refresh log" option selected, the log
is NOT being refreshed automatically in RDAirplay. As a result I have to
reload the entire log back into RDAirplay for the changes to take effect, which
is just nonsense.
I would appreciate some help before I loose my rag and ditch this increasingly
annoying software altogether!
Many thanks,
Dan Gruner
