Re: [RDD] Question about the music scheduler
Thanks for your help, I really want to do this right. I created a new Group - B rotation for my test: http://imgur.com/MYcTr None of these songs have scheduler codes, and they all have exactly four plays, before starting this experiment. Then I created the event: http://imgur.com/mfsU4 Then I created an hour of music: http://imgur.com/nXV2Y I assigned this hour to all of Monday and Tuesday and generated a log for those two days. Then I guess that each song should be played the same amount of times, and that the song played on 00:00 at Monday, should be played at 01:00 on Tuesday. However that didn't happen. Heres the result: Moony: 2 plays on Monday, 4 plays on Tuesday = 6 plays for the two days Soulmagic: 6 Monday, 4 Tuesday = 10 Missy Elliot: 5 Monday, 7 Tuesday = 12 Room 5: 7 Monday, 4 Tuesday = 12 Manijama feat. Mukupa: 4 Monday, 5 Tuesday = 9 The song with most plays, is played twice as many times as the least played song. Also they are played rather random. Here's the log for Monday: http://textsnip.com/3ed468 And Tuesday: http://textsnip.com/589435 What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Re: [RDD] Question about the music scheduler
Hi, Forgive me as I'm joining this discussion without re-reading all the previous material. I think Riv is working as intended but obviously not how you perceive it should work. The only rule I can see on your event is Must have title separation of 1. So we can't play the same song twice in a row. Anyway this is my understanding of the scheduler (so it may not be correct): 1. Riv comes along and sees the B Rot event. 2. Riv looks into the B Rot Group for valid songs. 3. Riv checks to see if a song has played previous to the event and prunes the list (if necessary) 4. Riv looks at the weights of all the songs (usually 1 by default) and assigns a percentage chance to it. 5. Riv spins the dice for a number between 1 and 5 as each song has the same probability of happening (by default). This is why you're getting your uneven plays. Its the same reason why if you flip a coin twice you're just as likely to get heads twice than a neat 1 heads, 1 tails. Now heres where I'm fuzzy on the scheduler. I seem to recall some sort of, for want of a better phrase, wear leveling algorithm which would favour songs with lower number of play outs if all other things were equal (codes/rules/weights) but I have no idea how this works (or if I just dreamed this up). If its sensible (which all the Riv stuff I've looked into generally is), it probably just uses the cart weight and the number of play outs to assign a new percentage chance to it and then spins the dice based on this modified value. As such you could be really unlucky and get wildly varying plays in a short time period but in the long run it should be an insignificant difference (unless you really are unlucky in which case buy a lottery ticket). Please feel free to call me an idiot as this is my best guess based on things I've noticed and vaguely remember reading.

Re: [RDD] Question about the music scheduler
Ok. What you're saying, and what I've learned, is that my B-rotation is placed rather randomly. After 7 days, all songs should be played the same number of times, but it's not desirable that the song Soulmagic is played at 1AM, 2AM, 3AM, 4 AM and 5 PM on Monday, when there should be five hours between playing the song. So if I want to control how often my B rotation is played (and I want to, on a commercial Hot AC station), I have to enter something in Title Separation. In my case it should be about 75 songs/carts. The next problem is, that this number is not the same in the daytime as at night (more sweepers, jingles, news, whatever in the daytime). Question: Would it be possible to enter how many minutes should separate each title, instead of how many carts? It would be much easier to enter 300 minutes. Thank you.

Re: [RDD] Is it possible to have a 2-computer Rivendell setup like this?
Well actually just Use SSH and just reverse tunnel port 80/stream/whatever normal ports you need from your moms house and tunnel them to your dorm PC. You can still run the whole thing over the tunnel. You can tell ssh what ports and where to tunnel them to. Since you initiated the tunnel outbound, and your moms computer is actually receiving the inbound connects your at least in the grey area with their terms. You can also run shorewall to ensure there are no incoming ports open IT can find. -- Don Russell, CBRE CBNT W9DRR - ARRL OES, Technical Specialist http://www.socialengineer.us On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 11:51 AM, Patrick Schmalstig / WRRJ Radio xana...@gmail.com wrote: Oh okay nvm I see what you're going at when it somes to SSH...

Re: [RDD] Is it possible to have a 2-computer Rivendell setup like this?
Patrick, Please, don't ignore the Tyndale's advices. Did you compress the songs in the Rivendell Library using MP2, or are you using uncompressed WAVs? If you have uncompressed WAV files, you will need a VERY robust network connection between your mom's house and the college (maybe about 10 Mb/s) to get the files transferred in realtime from the Rivendell server to your computer in the college. This means that, in your mom's house, the UPSTREAM connection must be at least 10 Mb/s and your college should let you download data at this bitrate. If you compress all your Rivendell library to MP2, you'll need less bandwith (maybe 512 kb/s), but still it is a great bandwidth, and you'll be affected by the latency and other issues.

Re: [RDD] Is it possible to have a 2-computer Rivendell setup like this?
...sorry but who's the Tyndale? Do you know of a batch converter or a way to convert automatically in Rivendell from WAV to MP2? I have a lot of cuts. ...the MP2 option will work... I can still do it... but like you said it will slow down my website badly... and I cannot afford any faster internet plan. On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 7:18 PM, Luigino Bracci lbra...@gmail.com wrote: Patrick, Please, don't ignore the Tyndale's advices. Did you compress the songs in the Rivendell Library using MP2, or are you using uncompressed WAVs? If you have uncompressed WAV files, you will need a VERY robust network connection between your mom's house and the college (maybe about 10 Mb/s) to get the files transferred in realtime from the Rivendell server to your computer in the college. This means that, in your mom's house, the UPSTREAM connection must be at least 10 Mb/s and your college should let you download data at this bitrate. If you compress all your Rivendell library to MP2, you'll need less bandwith (maybe 512 kb/s), but still it is a great bandwidth, and you'll be affected by the latency and other issues. Bye. 2012/2/27 Patrick Schmalstig / WRRJ Radio xana...@gmail.com Alright here's what I've decided to try and do for a set up. This was suggested by my campus network security... as being the best option if it is possible. Please let me know if it is possible and how to do it. It's different from the original planned set up. Computer 1 located at my Mom's house: Will host both the web server AND rivendell server. It will contain everything, including the rivendell web interface and the music library. Computer 2 located at the college campus: Will be a rivendell client... able to perform operations on the rivendell server (any program, including rdadmin, rdlogedit, rdcatch, and rdairplay). ...and somewhere inside this set up will need to be the ability to stream the radio using Darkice to a third party streaming provider... and the college computer will need to be able to stream live from say a microphone to this third party. ...I heard about Samba server... would that work for a set up like this? If so, how do I start? ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
