Re: [RDD] question on RD pulseaudio out

2013-11-13 Thread Lorne Tyndale
I generally avoid running pulseaudio, even on Linux machines which are
just meant to be desktop machines, it is still one of the first things
that I disable.  My experiences have found that for what I often do with
computers Pulseaudio seems to introduce more problems then it solves. 
Jack and / or just plain ALSA seem to do the job for me.

Of course I know other people who love Pulseaudio.

Re: [RDD] question on RD pulseaudio out

2013-11-13 Thread Wayne Merricks
I've never tried pulse audio on Windows let alone cross platform 
plugs/sinks.  What is so special about the Windows box that couldn't be 
achieved with liquidsoap or even jamin?


You already have JACK which is most of the hard work.

Wayne

On my DJ station I have this setup

http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/File:D6-rivendell-client-in-jack.png

For now my my audio goes through the mixer (used for live radio
because of its talkover capabilities) to a windows machine where
soundprocessing takes place, after which the processed output is
streamed with plink / pacat to a Linux darkice setup which streams to
multiple icecast servers.

During autoDJ time I would like have this DJ stations pulseaudio
setup sent the audio directly to the windows pulseaudio and
soundprocessing station and pass the analog mixer endprocessing,
anybody have any experience on what to do in the standard pulseaudio
setup on the RD DJ station to have it connect to pulseaudio on 
Windows
(standard soundcard in windows settings in, there are more then one 
in

this workstation)?

[RDD] question on RD pulseaudio out

Anybody have experience with this?

On my DJ station I have this setup 
http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/File:D6-rivendell-client-in-jack.png


For now my my audio goes through the mixer (used for live radio because

takes place, after which the processed output is streamed with plink / 
pacat to a Linux darkice setup which streams to multiple icecast servers.


During autoDJ time I would like have this DJ stations pulseaudio setup 
sent the audio directly to the windows pulseaudio and soundprocessing 
station and pass the analog mixer endprocessing, anybody have any 
experience on what to do in the standard pulseaudio setup on the RD DJ

It has indeed — RD v2.x is quite different from v1.x (which this patch is based 
on).

It’s a very cool capability, so if no one steps up, I may take it on myself.

Cheers!

I’m assuming you’re referring to the ‘Run Command’ [‘RN’] RML here.  That 
should work fine in a multi-line macro cart, but be aware that Rivendell’s RML 
engine will run it ‘asynchronously’  -i.e. it will fire off the specified 
command and then move immediately on to the next without waiting around for the 
target command to finish.  If whatever comes next is dependent upon that 
command doing something first, then you will need to make provision for that 
explicitly —e.g. by placing ‘Sleep’ [‘SP’] RMLs.

Cheers!

[RDD] MIDI GPIO support

2013-11-13 Thread Rivendell Steve
Hi,

There was a patch published a few years ago to support input from a MIDI
device -
http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/pipermail/rivendell-prog/2010-August/001519.html

Since then, the Rivendell GPIO code looks like it's had a fairly major
overhaul.

Has anyone updated the code to support a later version of Rivendell?

Thanks,

Steve.

Re: [RDD] Log generation error report

2013-11-13 Thread Alessio Elmi
Interesting.. two questions:
1) what are consequences of 'export DISPLAY'? Will people sitting on the
computer see anything popping up on the screen while generating?
2) in your crontab file unse which user you launch the command? I read
somewhere it needs to be the user who is running X session (which isn't my
rivendell owner user).

Use the sleep macro for a few milliseconds between commands to prevent 
this from happening.
