Hi James
Have you tried running rddbcheck to test the database?
Thanks

For the past week our Rivendell system has gone kind of crazy. Our
biggest problem stems from a "weather" cart.
First off, we built the Rivendell system per the new build process,
and it is currently running 2.16.0. We have a server system with a
couple of workstations.
We refresh the Weather cart daily, importing updated weather into the
cart as a new cut, setting the date that the cut is valid for, and
most often deleting an older cut. On Monday, we'll import a cut for
Tuesday, set it to expire at the end of Tuesday, and delete the Sunday
cut from the cart. This seems pretty logical and has been working for us.
Last week the Rivendell system started doing weird things with the
Weather cart. It stopped playing the newly added cut, instead playing
the previous days cut. Then it stopped playing weather altogether.
The "event" in the clock is there, the cart is listed in the Log, but
nothing ever runs, even though the play counter of the cut
increments. Today it decided to play a weather cut that had been
deleted a week ago. My only guess with that is when you delete audio
from a cut, it doesn't get removed from the database (which is
somewhat counter-intuitive)?
On other cart/cut madness...
We have an obligation to run spots for a content provider. Every week
we load the new spots for the upcoming week as cuts in this clients
cart. We update the valid Air Date/Time information for the cuts
(setting older cuts to expire, newer cuts to be valid in the future)
and move on with other tasks. Yesterday (10/14), we updated the
cart/cuts around 3p ET. The expiration date/time for the retiring
cuts was set to 10/15 at 23:59), but after we made that update, those
cuts stopped playing for the rest of the day.
What's going on here? My guess is we've either hit a bug, have a
corrupted database, or we're working with the Rivendell system in a
way that it's unhappy with.
Thanks,
James Greenlee
