[RDD] RDLogedit and Multiple Copies of a Log
Hi All: I looked around in the archives but did not see anything about this in my emails. Is there any enhancements in the works to control logfiles so that a user would know when someone else has changed the Log that they are attempting to save? Currently we have seen broadcasters create a logfile on their desktop machine, then go to the studio and add the CARTS they want to the log and save it there. They tell the control room it's ready to air, but go back to their desk, click OK, and lose the changes they made in the studio. It would be nice if they were warned that they were overwriting a log which is no longer current. Not currently running the latest version (2.0) of Rivendell but dont think this is a feature in the current system. Any plans to address this in the future? Thanks for any information you can provide on this.

Re: [RDD] RDImport issue only just appeared
I get the exact same error when running the commands manually. It is on every
single use of rdimport. I have no other information other than what i have
given to you

Do you get the error if you run the command manually?
What if you change the file name? The cut number?
Invalid URL? I don't like error messages that aren't complete. File not
found: /blah/blah/whatever.wav is a lot more helpful than just File not
found. But I suppose YMMV.

The file exists the path is correct. I cannot work out why it cannot find
it. Even made sure cart exists which it does

Re: [RDD] RDLogedit and Multiple Copies of a Log
I think there was something similar to this on the Deltaflex traffic system. When someone tried to access the log and someone was already logged in it would warn the new user about it.

However, I don't think there'd be any issue with displaying current editors using the following (and this is just how I'd do it as a system): We have a table of edit flags. Each flag has a host ID, user ID, log ID and a timestamp, plus a version number which is by default zero if no other flags exist, otherwise the value of the greatest existing flag for this log ID. There is also an 'open' boolean field. * Open log inserts new editing flag in a table. Check the flags table and warn the user if an open flag already exists for this log ID. * Upon saving, flags table is checked- if any open flags exist for this log ID, someone else is currently editing this log. Display a warning message before saving, allow user to abort. If any closed flags exist with a larger version number than the currently open version, warn loudly, since this -will- overwrite someone else's changes * If the user saves, set the version number to the current version number plus one, set the flag 'open' field to false, and save the flag, then save the log. Similar behaviour can encompass all the UI buttons in rdairplay (add/del/move buttons just go through the open-save motions as above). The timestamps would let a maintainence job cull all flags older than, say, a week to avoid a pileup. This system should let people intelligently notice when collisions might occur, warn people _before_ they do an overwrite of a log edit, but would never block users in the event of flags not being un-set properly etc. It'd be a massive improvement on the current system, but not massively complex to implement (assuming you speak C!). Anyone see any big glaring holes in this one?

Not particularly difficult, but it does require some inter-host notification infrastructure that we don't have as yet so as to allow stale locks to be broken (otherwise you risk being semi-permanently locked out of logs that are being edited on hosts that go offline unexpectedly). I do plan to implement this in the next major version of Rivendell. I foresee two modes operation (settable on a per-service basis): 1) Strict -- Don't allow concurrent editing of logs at all. 2) Permissive -- Warn the user when about to open a log that is already open elsewhere, but allow them to override the warning. Any other use cases we need to consider? Cheers! |-| | Frederick F. Gleason, Jr. | Chief Developer | | | Paravel Systems | |-| | Do not try to think outside of the box. That's impossible.

I can see a multi-part interaction. A flag in the database, set by an editor opening a log for edit. Code in the editor to recognize that a flag is set, and behave appropriately. A cron job to periodically query the editor setting the flag to see if it's still valid, and clear the flag in the event the editor fails to confirm the flag valid. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Q: How many Martians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

[RDD] Event title separation
Hi all, Need some clarification please. Does the title separation number (in the Event dialog) refer to minutes or songs? In the Rivendell Wiki the Brett Blog says minutes, and the Managing Scheduler Rules article talks about songs.
