Re: [RDD] Greetings, two days etc

[Wayne Merricks]

Just in case it helps heres my nfs exports and permissions for /var/snd

/etc/exports:

/var/snd 10.43.0.0/255.255.0.0(rw,sync,all_squash,subtree_check)

10.43.x.x is my local network so amend as necessary.

/var/snd itself, because I was too lazy to set up permission lookups 
properly to sync ids across machines its actually quite wide open:


chown -R nobody:nogroup /var/snd
chmod -R 0775 /var/snd

well here is the deal as it stands now.

All my machines can import to a local /var/snd
If I open web browser I can go to the cgi-bin pages, addcart.html etc.
soon as I mount my nfs /var/snd I can record but no import.
Import returns "Audio Converter Error: Unable to create destination file.

rd.conf is like so
Audiouser=rduser or unix user on that machine who is a member od 
rivendell group.

Audiogroup=rivendell

On the surface it seems like a nfs problem but
I can write to the /var/snd nfs share as rduser and as root.
also as I mentioned I can record  and rdcatch can record and import 
downloaded files.

Just no go on rdlibrary import or rdimport period.

Is there some special uid gid nfs setup required for 2.5.3

The Local /var/snd folder is owned by rduser and group rivendell.

I have tried many configurations on my export file on the server, I 
can connect and write from linux with them all but no import.


We haven't been able to put any new audio in the system since Saturday
and I think I hear someone sharpening a axe.

Going to sleep for the first time in three days, maybe I'll have some 
fresh thought in the morning.


Cheers

Importing is usually an apache problem, have you checked

copy the rd-bin.conf into /etc/apache/conf.d and restart the service.

Not really sure about the buffer overflows but see how you go with
that lot first.

[RDD] greetings from a new list member

[ICR Programs]

Good day everyone,

I just joined the list and wanted to say hello and ask my first questions.

We are a community radio station that just is getting started.  We are
using Rivendell as part of RAAbuntu to help us automate some of the
necessary tasks for running a volunteer-run station.   Right now, we've
figured out a fair amount of what we need to do in Rivendell, but there are
a few operations that we have yet to get to work correctly for us.

The two that have been giving me fits lately are these two:

1) get RSS available content with Rivendell?

2) connect to a Pacifca  ku audioport stream with Rivendell.  (I've been
trying with RDcatch, is that even the right tool for this?)


Here's the link address I'm trying





and if you go to the RSS feed link:

Re: [RDD] Greetings

[James Harrison]

Yeah, this is the way to go - as an example for a past setup I've done:

* GPIO on/off trigger two carts, which run on-mic-on.sh or on-mic-off.sh 
depending on the cart.
* These scripts call any scripts we may want to run (easier to maintain 
than Rivendell Macro cards with lots of RN calls)
* One script is a Python script which updates a Redis database (very 
small and lightweight in-memory DB, smashing for doing this sort of 
thing) which is then polled by the website on page loads and regularly 
via AJAX to update, allowing you to see the state of the microphone 
on-air lights on the website.

Piece of cake. You can also extend this to doing hardware control of 
devices using, say, an Arduino if you can't afford real GPIO drivers 
(making a USB joystick and an Arduino a very nice combination).

Clock synchronization - just use NTP to synchronize time to a known good 
time server and make everything reference their local NTP-sync'd clocks. 
We used this with an Arduino-driven clock in the studio which provided 
current time and the time remaining in a show.

Metering is a trickier one. Nothing built into Rivendell can do this for 
you. I'd recommend you look at the jackmeter/jack_meter packages - one 
is a console meter which can be configured to constantly spit out the 
current level in dB from a JACK port. The other is a nice on-screen 
meter which may be sufficient. meterbridge can also do a variety of 
meters including phase (jellyfish) and DPMs as well as PPMs/VU meters, 
and also works with JACK. But if you want to do something in the real 
world (giant VU meter, for instance) then jack_meter will probably be 
what you want, since you can easily take the output of that into a 
script for processing/retransmission/translation to servo commands.

Cheers,
James Harrison

Re: [RDD] Greetings

[Wayne Merricks]

There is a Rivendell macro command that can run shell commands.  I think  
its RN.  More info on the Wiki  
http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Rml.sxw_-_Rivendell_Macro_Language_v1.0.0

I guess if you set up some sort of script to update a DB for the website  
and use plain old javascript to poll for changes on the client/web side  
via the database?  Theres probably more efficient ways of doing it but  
you're kind of limited on a web server as nothing is rendered until a  
client connects/refreshes the page.

I'm not sure whether incorporating it into the main log or aux log would  
be better.

Regards,

Wayne
