Wherever possible, I run standalone Rivendell machines. The "server" is the "client".
I do this because with a standalone machine no network failure can make the radio station go silent.
With a client/server implementation, the audio is being transmitted in the form of data packets from the server to the client across a network. If something happens to the network -- say, the power supply of a switch or router fails -- the station goes silent. A standalone machine will keep running if its network goes away.
The fewer potential points of failure there are in a system, the more reliable it will be.

Would it be a good idea, bad idea or indifferent to use a Rivendell server as the on-air playout machine? Is it best to use a client for this purpose? Thanks, Mark Murdock KAMB 90 E. 16th St. Merced, CA 95340 (209) 723-1015 m...@celebrationradio.com Website
