Good Afternoon
We have Rivendell set up so that it spits out a nowplay.txt file each
time the song changes in rivendell. We have done this by adding the
following RML command into the 'Edit Now & Next Window' RN echo %a -
%t>/home/rd1/export/playing.txt!
The script works however the script, at irregular intervals, appears
to stop working. Upon investigation it looks as though whenever a & or
an apostrophe enters the title or artist field, it appears to stop
working! Is there a reason for this or indeed does anybody have a
solution for this?
Hi. It's not an rivendell issue. It's a shel 'problem'.
RN echo %a - %t>/home/rd1/export/playing.txt!
will run a shell command and %a / %t will be replaced by the artist and
title text.
When a field contains a bash/shell special char it will break or do
nasty stuff on your system
You could try to escape/encapsulate the string in quotes like this:
RN echo '%a - %t'>/home/rd1/export/playing.txt!
or
RN echo "%a - %t">/home/rd1/export/playing.txt!
this way the & will not be interpreted as shell special char.
but… the first one will break if there is a ' in the string, second one
will break if there is a " in the string.
Instead try please try to use rivendell modules. There are several
rlm's that do title streaming to servers and textfiles:
