[RDD] Fonts
I've had a bit of a Google on Suse 10.0 and Rivendell, but I can't seem to find something to fix my fonts in Rivendell. They are a bit yucky and not the same as the font screenshot on the www.rivendellaudio.org gallery web site. I've got anti-aliasing on to smooth them out (which makes a difference in the SuSe desktop), but still doesn't quite make RD look as smooth as the screenshots. I have the dafualt icons installed in Suse 10.0, including Adobe Helvetica. Do I need to install a different Helvetica font to get things looking nicer? I've got the default SuSE theme, with the style set to Kermic (style only, because I like the buttons). So far I've figured out it may be to do with something called bitmap fonts and enabling them, but from what I've also read Adobe Helvetia is a bitmap font? I'm only tackling this finally because I can read the current font, it just looks a little jaggered, but I'm replacing monitors to LCD with native 1024x768 today (finally replacing some CRT's) and thought I might tackle that at the same time. Any ideas what else I'm missing with the font thing? ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Simple Script Not Running Using RN

I'm trying to figure out if you have the same problem I do. There are a couple of problems here. First of all, using shell constructs like '~' won't give the expected results as the environment in which the script executes will be completely different from that of the local user. Use the full path instead, like 'touch /home/rd/hello_from_rivendell_RN'. Secondly, by default the 'rivendell' user/group won't have write access to your home directory. Try something like this: *** snip snip *** cd mkdir test chmod 777 test *** snip snip *** Then, fire up RMLSend and do: RN touch /home/rd/test/hello_from_rivendell_RN! You should now see the expected file in the 'test/' directory. Cheers! |-| | Frederick F.

Re: [RDD] dropbox question
If it's just the air date you are lucky, you can set cuts start date and end date offset by any number of days from today. Bit of jiggery pokery required with a script read filename figure out offset in days set paramaters for rdimport perform go to next file but you can't set a daypart [ start time end time] using rdimport this requires a lot of delving into MySQL in the current setup It could be a feature in rdimport we have discussed a format: StartTime MMDDHHMM EndTime MMDDHHMM which has to be such that rdimport can read and parse the dates and times. and it is on Fred's to do list deleting expired cuts is set up in rdadmin groups bit flakey I find but if you have to delete a bunch it's a few clicks. regards Robert On Tue, 2012-08-07 at 15:14 -0400, Nathan Steele wrote: I have a one minute spot that I get a months worth of at a time they have the airdate in the file name, is it possible to use that to set the dayparting in the cut during import, ie I want them all in the same cart with dayparting set to only be played on the date in the filename, and if they can be purged afterwards that would be great too.

[RDD] Underwriters Scheduler?
Has any one got a slick underwriters/advertiser scheduler they like? We're looking for something we can put in an underwriter/advertiser information (like how many spots, how many times a week, any preference for when it's played) and have this thing go through all the spots and create a schedule where there are so many spots per hour in these hours on these days. You know the drill. Of course it would be cool if it would set up Rivendell with the right carts at the right times but even an output to a calendar (like Google Docs Calendar) would work.

Re: [RDD] Underwriters Scheduler?
I use http://hds.net/trafficlight.htm because it's low cost and does the job imports into Rivendell Few quirks, but developer is 100% willing to shape it to customer needs. regards Robert On Tue, 2012-08-07 at 16:17 -0700, Bill Putney wrote: Has any one got a slick underwriters/advertiser scheduler they like?
