Yep, me too. I consider Rivendell's interaction with the MySQL database by far the biggest downside of Rivendell as in that is what I consistently have trouble with (other than steps in macros being skipped over, which is probably related anyway). Oh and my RDAirplay still occasionally crashes around midnight when attempting chain to the next day's log, but I have a silence sense that catches it and relaunches RDAirplay. On the plus side the actual audio playout engine (CAED) operating through Jackd has been totally amazing rock solid for me and I don't even use those expensive ASI sound cards. So our staff always checks to see that a log is complete to the end of the day anytime a log is edited or created as sometimes it is not. I also have troubles with cart numbers disappearing from buttons on RDAirplay's button widget from time to time. (Note: I hate ALL databases, do any exist that are solid and reliable without requiring expensive service contracts with their manufacturers to keep them that way?) So perhaps related to all this, since I am not using the pre-configured Appliance, what possible special settings for the mysql database might improve things for Rivendell? What db engine (such as innoDB or myISAM) should I be using? For me, the mySQL server resides on the same machine as all the rest of Rivendell, I do NOT use the Win32 programs (don't trust them due to version differences that usually exist with my main RD install), but instead do remote X sessions (using Xming) to Windows machines to bring up remote views of auxiliary RD programs from the main Rivendell machine. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
