compare the permissions on the original and the edited file
ls -l /var/snd/[cartnum]* will give you both They should be the same. Permissions seem to be the problem better then 90% of the time. regards Robert On 08/03/17 15:06, Chuck wrote:
I'm on RD v2.10.3 from Tryphon running Linux Mint 17 (no .x update) on my personal Asus Zen notebook with /var/snd on an external USB drive. This has been running for nearly 3 years with no problems until today. My /var/snd and database is the master for our station as I do all the production work, and another computer is used for actual playout, which is a clone of my /var/snd and RD database. One of the things I do is edit fade-out levels and make adjustments to music tracks in the library. My usual method is to copy the originally imported track and paste it to a new cut (Cut 002) and mark that as the untouched original in the "Cut Info". Then I weight it "0" so it never plays, but is available if there ever should be a reason to return to the original, untouched track. Today, however, when I pasted the copied track to the new cut, it did not seem to paste. Track length was "00.0" and when I clicked on "Edit Markers", a dialog appeared that says, "No audio present in the cut." This problem is repeatable with other carts, but no problems importing new tracks to carts--just this copy and paste problem. There IS audio, as it plays in the preview player in the "Cut Info" button. And a file manager shows cut 002 with a file size identical to cut 001 in /var/snd. Cut 002 also imports and plays in Audacity. It will NOT play in RDAirplay, which also sees it as a 'no audio present' track, and skips it. Anybody have any clues as to what the problem might be? This isn't exactly an on-air machine and is on the Internet, so I do Mint updates, but the problem has appeared suddenly when I have not done a Mint update for weeks. I did have a power failure a few days ago, and the /var/snd USB drive is not on a UPS (the notebook is), but such outages have not caused problems in the past. The power outage occurred while a log was being generated, however, so /var/snd was not available and the log generation seemed to stop. After power resumed, I started the log generation over, and that log seems fine. Any ideas appreciated. --Chuck W. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
