That 'built-in' facility is deprecated and hasn't been actively developed for years. I'd strongly recommend moving to the Rivendell Loadable Module (RLM) facility. This is much more powerful in that plug-ins can be developed to interface to just about any device out there. A basic set of plug-ins come with the system, including one called 'rlm-udp' that can be used to send updates via UDP to an arbitrary number of destinations. You configure it in RDAdmin-ManageHosts-RDAirPlay-Configure NowNext, in the 'Loadable Modules' section. The 'Argument' parameter should be the path to the plug-in's configuration file. A heavily commented example configuration can be found in the 'rlm_udp.conf' file, shipped with the Rivendell sources. You can also develop your own plug-ins; see 'lib/rlm.h' in the Rivendell sources for details. Cheers! |-| | Frederick F.

Re: [RDD] Upgrading a Rivendell 'Download' from an old Windows PC
On Thursday 15 December 2011 05:11:35 am James Laurence wrote: Plus another share from the same Rivendell PC pops up in the WinXp workgroup, but not the 'rdtransfer' one. The quick and dirty way to solve this would be to link your rdtransfer directory to something under one of the shares that does show up. But the sharing of that folder gave me problems, even when logged in as root. Basically when I press the button saying 'Configure File Sharing', it greys out for 3 secs (as if it's doing something) but then comes back exactly as before and looks at me. No further dialog whatsoever. It would appear that it hasn't shared a thing because 'rdtransfer' doesn't appear under the workgroup in the WinXp machine. So there's no folder to try to map in WinXp. Press the button ? I've no idea what that might be, but at lower level You should have a smb.conf in /etc/samba In that file, find a block for a share that *does* work. It should look something like... [src] comment = SourceFiles path = /usr/src valid users = curt guest ok = Yes max connections = 2 hide dot files = No fstype = ext3 ( this is an example from one of my systems ) Copy that block, then in the copy change only the relevant lines to be what you need them to be. You may have more or fewer lines. Now, restart samba ! ( smbd ) You may also need to restart the name daemon separately depending on your OS. ( nmbd ) Now, the share may still not appear. That's a windows-ism. Windows does not query the server to show the shares. It queries the windows master browser cache, which doesn't query the server except at log-on, or at a forced refresh. You can do a forced refresh by typing the url for the share in a windows explorer ( not the web browser ) path line, such as //server/newshare If that fails ( it also queries the master browser ) then you're left with the start search thingy in windows. That *does* query the target server, and *may* add the result to the master browser cache, or it may not, in which case the windows universal fix ( reboot ) might be your only option. It may take a while, as it also first queries the windows master browser cache before querying the target machine. Note that you MUST have restarted nmbd on the *nix machine before any of the convoluted windows stuff. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com He flung himself on his horse and rode madly off in all directions ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

Re: [RDD] 2.1.1 - sending Now/Next multiple times per song
Fred, Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I thought of that. I renamed the module to something unrecognizable. Could it be that Rivendell has the handle number now and is using that instead of the file name? I did a cold restarte of the machine but that didn't seem to help either. sigh Bill On 12/15/11 7:35 AM, Fred Gleason wrote: On Dec 15, 2011, at 10:28 33, Bill Putney wrote: I didn't get any compile errors but after I added it RDAirPlay stopped advancing through logs when in Automatic.

Re: [RDD] 2.1.1 - sending Now/Next multiple times per song
I was afraid of that. I think the short cut is to just reload the station from the Live CD then restore the /etc directory from backup. The sound files and database are on a separate server.
