[RDD] Rivendell appliance - Unable to start daemons
Hi all, Testing the Rivendell appliance on my laptop. After rebooting the first thing I did was run rdadmin and got the dreaded Unable to start Rivendell system daemons error message. Ran caed -d in the console and got the following: [root@localhost ~]# caed -d HPI_DriverOpen error: No such file or directory caed: Starting ALSA Play Device rd0: caed: Format = 16 bit little-endian caed: SampleRate = 48000 caed: Aggregate Channels = 2 caed: Periods = 4 caed: BufferSize = 4096 frames caed: Device started successfully caed: Starting ALSA Capture Device rd0: caed: Format = 16 bit little-endian caed: Asked for sample rate 48000, got 96000 caed: Sample rate unsupported by device caed: Starting ALSA Play Device rd1: caed: Format = 16 bit little-endian caed: SampleRate = 48000 caed: Aggregate Channels = 2 caed: Periods = 4 caed: BufferSize = 4096 frames caed: Device started successfully ALSA lib pcm.c:2184:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM rd2 ALSA lib pcm.c:2184:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM rd2 no connection to JACK server caed: no connection to JACK server caed: Found TwoLAME encoder library, MPEG L2 encoding supported caed: MAD decoder library not found, MPEG L2 decoding not supported Segmentation fault Notice the segmentation fault. Was there anything else I needed to do as far as configuring Rivendell first? In rd.conf the AudioOwner and AudioGroup are both rivendell and I see there is system user rivendell and a system group rivendell. Also tried changing the owner of rd.conf and /var/snd to rivendell. Running mysql with the command show databases; does indeed show the Rivendell database has been created. Thanks!

[RDD] Invalid Cart...but it's not....
Every monday (i'm told) we have programs that do not play (all of them). these programs are downloaded into RD by RDCATCH between 1 am and 2 am. this is done monday-friday, but only mondays seem to fail. I looked at todays log and all the programs are red saying invalid cart, but When I look at the carts in RDlibrary, I don't see what is invalid about them and it says it played once today. I will have to actually listen for the next one and see if it really plays or if the host's just think it didn't play beause it says invalid cart. butWhy does it say invalid cart anyway? I see no issues with start/end dates or dayparting, and the carts are there. Thanks, Nathan -- Nathaniel C.

Re: [RDD] Invalid Cart...but it's not....
Maybe the log is not refreshed when the cart is updated with today's content... Is that cart playing on the same day that it is downloaded? I suspect that when your log is loaded at midnight, the cart is not yet available, so at that time it was invalid.

Re: [RDD] Invalid Cart...but it's not....
That's the case, so will the cart play or not? I just found out that they skip them when they come up red, because it messes up the music if there actually is no cut in the cart. I've told them not to do that and see what happens. I also went up there a little while ago and looked and the only thing I see Invalid, actually is invalid so I don't know what's going on now. You get told one thing (Im not in that early in the morning), and then have to figure out what's really going on. Thing is, why would it only be on monday? oh, because fridays cuts are expierd by that time ( they get imported with a end date 2 days after the start date, that's the way the programs come, it's in the cart chunk data.Maybe if I offset the end time by one more day Nathaniel C.

Re: [RDD] Invalid Cart...but it's not....
Kind of a hack, but are you able to download the carts the day before, during the evening? Are you able to enable auto log refreshes? That would surely fix your problems. However, failing so, maybe you can craft a small Rivendell macro that can add the cart right before it will play. From the wiki: ADD NEXT Mneumonic: PX Syntax: PX mach cart! Insert cart cart in the next to play position on log machine mach. You would have to put that command right at the place you want to play your cart. Maybe add some padding (1s delay) as I am not too sure if it could maybe execute it too fast. -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Invalid Cart...but it's not.... Solved (I Think)
I have set a program to expire tonight and instructed the presenter to let the invalid cart play anyway to see what happens. They had been dumping them when they see invalid cart. I suspect that if it tries to play what it thhought was an invalid cart at midnight when it loaded, but it now has a valid cut (put in by rdcatch after midnight) that it will play the cut. Am I thinking wrong here? My reasoning is that they show up invalid in the log on monday but I check in RDlibrary and it says it played. I also just ran a playout report and it says that programs before the first airshift played. So I think we have an operator problem not a software problem. Would be nice if someone could tell me wether auto refresh log setting would detect the valid cuts and not have the carts show as invalid, which freaks the presenters out. Apparently when an invalid cart with a timed start(Make Next) plays it will cut of the song thats playing at the time it is scheduled, ignoring the make next instruction. I heard it do this this morning because we do have one truly invalid cartIs that a bug? Nathaniel C.

[RDD] More reasons to use Rivendell
I just read online and in the news Bill Gates is the second richest in the world $67 Billion dollars (I presume that is US dollars). Yet another reason not to use M$ based products for radio Automation. :) http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/ Many thanks Geoff Barkman ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] More reasons to use Rivendell
Maybe I missed something, why is Bill Gates' wealth a good reason to use Rivendell?

[RDD] Converting old PCM Library to MP2 library
Does anyone know if anyone has come up with a script that will convert old PCM.wav files (From Rivendell 1.72) to an identically named mp2.wav (for Rivendell 2.2) file. Perhaps using ffmpeg or something. I have a script that uses rdimport to import all the files back into the system but I loose all the cut names on my carts when I do this. Some of my Carts can have over 20 cuts in them. So fixing names would take a while.

Re: [RDD] Converting old PCM Library to MP2 library
Hello friend! I just wonder why would you convert this library to mp2 (lossy format) ? Using PCM you may use more space, but at the other hand PCM uses less CPU time and it's a linear audio file, no loss at all, pure audio fidelity. Personally nowadays I don't see a reason for using mp2/mp3 at professional environments as storage systems are far cheaper then years ago. Anyway If you know to convert a file using some command you can easily use the find command to execute thos comando thru all files or even write a simple shell script for that, Regards.
