Re: [RDD] Database_bulk_import
Hi, Thanks for your answer. We're doing a fresh install, never done Rivendell before (allright, I did test it a few months ago, but made a crappy little database with about 50 128k MP3 files which Rivendell converted to .mp2 for me, so not usable for the station). Our old database had mp3's disguised as .wav, but I got hands on a way too big (2.5 TB) database with just .wav files. From that huge collection I want to build a new database. So I guess a dropbox-folder will have to do the trick. Can I direct the dropboxfolder to import to MUSIC and assign cartnumbers automatically? I chose the 11-50 range for that (yes, the amount of 0's is correct, I reserved 400,000 carts for music), by the way. I've been looking for dropbox options and I've already decided that each program will get its own dropbox for recorded hours (if needed), where the contents of the dropbox will overwrite the previous cut that has been filled in the cart.

If updating from a previous version of Rivendell, as long as your /var/snd has the correct permissions then you can just import your database from the old Rivendell install, run rdadmin (to trigger the initial database check / update), and you should be good to go. Unless you're updating from the 1.x.x branch, in which case you'll also need to ensure that Apache is running and set up correctly. If you're switching from another automation system then it'll all depend on the system you're coming from. You can still set up a drop-box on the Rivendell machine and dump your audio files into that, let Rivendell do the import. If your files all have metadata (mp3's with the ID tags, WAV files with Cartchunk, etc) or if the information is a part of the file name (you can specify the metadata pattern in the dropbox setup) then Rivendell will do most of the work for you. > > > Hello, > > > > > > Yesterday we started installing Rivendell (2.6.0) at the station where I work > (Radio Capelle, Netherlands).

[RDD] mySQL Problem on Fresh Appliance Install
I just did a fresh install of the Appliance (v2). On the initial boot, Rivendell works. After doing a Software Update though I get the dreaded mySQL Admin grey box which says: "Unable to access the Rivendell Database! Please enter a login for an account with administrative rights on the mySQL server, and we will try to get this straightened out." This is followed by fields for a username and password, but I don't have those credentials since it was setup by the appliance. Since Rivendell was updated I did launch RDAdmin first. Any ideas on what is going on here? Is there an updated package that is causing problems which should be avoided in Software Update? Are there credentials I can enter to reconnect to the database?

[RDD] Database bulk import
Hello, Yesterday we started installing Rivendell (2.6.0) at the station where I work (Radio Capelle, Netherlands). I now wnat to import a database, but since we already have a database, I don't really feel like importing the audiofiles one at a time by hand. Is it possible to put all the files I want to import into a folder (with sub-folders by genre, if possible) and let Rivendell do the rest? That way I only have to select the songs from the database which don't have codes yet (is that possible, or do I need to give a code named UNTAGGED or something?) and start giving them codes, set intro's, outtro's, segues and so on. It would save me A LOT of work if this first step can be automated (including normalizing and trimming). Each file (song, in this case) should get its own cart. Thanks in advance and I'll keep you updated about the progress. I have some very different ideas about which codes (or "tags", as I prefer) you can give to songs. I already created over 40 codes.

[RDD] Bug reports
What's the correct way of submitting bug reports? Just post on the list? Or is there a bug tracking system? There is mention made of mantis back in 2011 but that link just brings up a stock apache page?
