[RDD] re Importing multiple files into rdlibrary via rdimport.

2014-03-01 Thread Owen Dawe


Hi All,

Thanks so much for your help. I now have it under control.

There were several things wrong. The first attempt had files with a 
hyphen in them which doesn't work.


In the end I opted for Brandon's suggestion and copied them off the back 
up drive onto the main hd.


I ended up using this command.

rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 MUSIC /home/radio/Desktop/MusicImport/ 
*.mp3

...and it worked.

Thank you to all others who replied as well. Much appreciated.

Cheers,
Owen Dawe.

Re: [RDD] Cue output assignation problem

2014-03-01 Thread Hoggins!
Hello,

I have some news here : I uninstalled completely all the binaries (using
make uninstall, and cleaning manually the leftovers), and I recompiled
/ reinstalled from scratch.
The strange thing is that the wrong assignation only happens on a single
event : when I edit a cart that is already in the log, and I try to set
the cue. The output goes to card 0, port 0 wherever I set the Cue output
in RDAdmin.
But the assignation is correct, and follows what is previously set, when
I use the pre-listen buttons that appear at the bottom of the select
cart dialog when I want to add one to the main log.

What am I missing ?

Thanks !

 Correct me if I'm wrong, I hope it's the exact same setting, but it just

 Correct.  The idea is to use a single cue output assignment for all Rivendell 
 modules that require it.  Whatever settings were used in 
 RDAdmin-ManageHosts-RDAirPlay should now go here.


 Whenever I try to change this setting on one of my hosts, it is indeed
 recorded in database, but the sound keeps coming out of the wrong port
 (port 0 instead of 1).
 Not seeing this here.  RDAirPlay follows the ‘Cue Output’ setting in 
 RDAdmin-ManageHosts-[hostname] as expected.


 I captured the MySQL query log corresponding to my actions in RDAdmin.
 The Cue output values are recorded, but I'm not sure if they are
 correctly used by RDAirplay afterwards.

 The relevant queries are:

 *** snip snip ***
 UPDATE STATIONS SET CUE_CARD=0 WHERE NAME=yomama
 UPDATE STATIONS SET CUE_PORT=1 WHERE NAME=“yomama
 *** snip snip ***

 The cue entries in the ‘RDAIRPLAY’ table have been retired and are no longer 
 used for determining cue output assignments.

 It sounds like you may have some version skew going on.  Are you sure that 
 the RDAirPlay instance is v2.8.0?

 Cheers!

[RDD] Darkice fixed now? Yes, I think so!

2014-03-01 Thread Mark Turner
Hey folks,

For those of you who have been avoiding using darkice as your stream
encoder, you may want to check out the latest trunk over at: svn
checkout */http/*://darkice.googlecode.com/svn/darkice/trunk/
darkice-read-only

I've been helping Kalle Kulonen improve darkice's stability when
streaming to a remote Icecast/Shoutcast server. I'm pleased to say that
the changes Kalle implemented have greatly improved darkice's stability.
I've been running it for several days with a sometimes-shaky connection
to Icecast and it has successfully recovered every time there has been
network issues.

I've tried other encoders but none are as efficient or as
straightforward as darkice. I suggest you give it a look (or give it
another look, as the case may be)!

Hi Mark, I'm glad to know darkice is getting better.

Few years ago when it lost connection to server and then reconnected there
was a terrible white noise. It happened when using along with jackd. Is it
fixed too?

[RDD] Keyboard Shortcuts - RDLibrary?

2014-03-01 Thread Paul Hayton
When you are viewing a particular song record (title, artist, client etc.)
are there any keyboard shortcuts that I can use to step to the next or
preceding song record without having to leave the detailed view?

[RDD] Broadcast Tools ss4.4

2014-03-01 Thread Brian P. McGlynn
Hello,

Has anyone tried switching between ports 3 and 4 on a Broadcast Tools SS4.4 
with Rivendell?  I am successfully able to switch Ports 1-2, 2-1 but cannot 
make ports 3-4 and 4-3 work.  It's correctly identified in RDadmin, and all 
four ports in the matrix are labeled.  

The RML commands I use are:
ST 4 2 2!   (Restore Input 2- Output 2)   Works fine
ST 4 2 1!   (Connect Input 1-Output 2)   Works fine
ST 4 3 2!   (Connect Input 3-Output 2)   Works fine

ST 4 3 3!   (Restore Input 3- Output 3)   Does not work
ST 4 2 4!   (Connect Input 2- Output 3)  Does not work

It basically looks to be that any channel can switch into port 1 and 2 as an 
output, but nothing can get switched to ports 3 or 4.  

When using the direct serial commands on the switcher, all seems to work fine.  
 I tried this with the SO command and could not get that to work (which is a 
separate issue).

Thanks in advance for any insight.

[RDD] Feature Suggestion - Time Temp Announcements

2014-03-01 Thread Paul Hayton
Being able to insert a command on the RDAirplay that called an appropriate
time / temp audio file would be a really nice feature to have.

 

In the case of ZaraStudio the software looks at two different text files for
the numeric values to read for 'temp' or 'time' and just calls the
corresponding audio file(s) to play on the on-air accordingly.

 

Cheers, Paul.

Probably mentioned this in the past - but I've been doing that for years using 
an external script. Temp and conditions, in particular, work well when updated 
every so often (every 15 minutes in my case) by a cron job. Just get your info, 
splice your pre-made recordings, and run rdimport on the finished product.

In my case, I have a (not very pretty) perl script which retrieves National 
Weather Service data, then assembles the correct sound files. The files are all 
one announcer's voice, reading every number from zero to 120, plus the 
following words/phrases:

Right now in (town name)
degrees
degrees below zero
under clear skies
under fair skies
under mostly cloudy skies
under partly cloudy skies
with a few clouds
with overcast skies
with heavy rain
with light rain
with freezing rain
with hail
and foggy
and raining
and snowing
and windy

There's a live example at http://www.kanabec.net/kciz/LATEST.wav - you'll get 
the idea.
Same could be done much easier with TTS, but I like the sound of a real person 
better.

Protip: The person doing the audio work will hate you less if the request is 
accompanied by a bribe of some sort :-)

As for time checks, I have pre-recorded carts for every quarter-hour (1:00, 
1:15, 1:30, 1:45, etc) which can be included in the log at the appropriate 
times. Using legal IDs with integrated time checks has also worked well in the 
past.

Re: [RDD] Broadcast Tools ss4.4 - SOLVED

2014-03-01 Thread Brian P. McGlynn
Hello,

I looked through the source code, and found the issue.  There is a hard-coded 
value for maximum outputs versus looking at the value from RDadmin.  

The fix needs to go in ripcd/btss44.cpp

Change:
  case RDMacro::SA:
    if((cmd-arg(1).toInt()1)||(cmd-arg(1).toInt()bt_inputs)||
   (cmd-arg(2).toInt()1)||(cmd-arg(2).toInt()2)) {
  cmd-acknowledge(false);

To:
  case RDMacro::SA:
    if((cmd-arg(1).toInt()1)||(cmd-arg(1).toInt()bt_inputs)||
   (cmd-arg(2).toInt()1)||(cmd-arg(2).toInt()bt_outputs)) {
  cmd-acknowledge(false);

There are two more cases that need this modification:
case RDMacro::SR:
case RDMacro::ST:


I'm not set up to contribute to the code base, otherwise I'd check this fix in. 
 If someone would like to do that, I would be happy to provide a diff file 
against the versions. 

This was tested on version 2.8.1.
