[RDD] Steps to Migrate Between Appliance Versions
Hi All- Can someone point me in the direction of the steps to migrate between Appliance versions? Perhaps there is already an email buried somewhere in the archives? I'm looking to migrate between CentOS-5 appliance to the latest appliance that's available for download. I have read the wiki: http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Migrating_Systems but that one states "...installed Rivendell on the new host and that it is the SAME version as the old host." Seeing as how I would be moving between an old appliance disc and the new DVD image, I want to make sure I take precautions in preserving my database.

[RDD] GlassCoder v0.5.0
I’m pleased to announce the initial public beta release of GlassCoder, a minimalist JACK live encoder client for Icecast and Shoutcast streaming servers. GlassCoder is available under the GNU Public License version 2. Some features available in this initial beta release: Support for Icecast (v2) and Shoutcast (v1) streaming audio servers Support for streaming MPEG Layer 3 (‘MP3’) audio Support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit (http://www.jackaudio.org) GlassCoder is a ‘minimalist’ client in the sense that it utilizes no GUI or configuration file components whatever; its entire ‘user interface’ consists of a command-line invocation, making it particularly well-suited for use cases where the encoder is driven by an external system, such as an automation system or script. Full documentation is provided by the included man page. Further information and download links are available at https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/GlassCoder Cheers! |-| | Frederick F.

[RDD] Clear audio of cuts in cart
Hello again, As I mentioned before in another e-mail, we're getting ready to start operating our radio station with Rivendell 24/7. This means we're going to have to schedule all different kinds of shows. And here's the thing: some shows are usually live, but sometimes recorded. And some shows are usually recorded, but sometimes live. Therefor, I'd like to make a cart with several cuts, where each cut is a 57-58 minutes recorded show. Each cut will have a daypart-availability at the day and hour it should be broadcasted (for example, 21.01 - 22.01, mondays only). This way I can just make one clock for all shows, in stead of every show it's own clock. And if there's no recorded show, the next event in the clock will be to switch the mixer to "live". (If there's a recorded show, the hard-timed NEWS event at the end of the hour will overrule the "live" command). Beside these events (scheduled at the beginning of the clock), there will also be a playlist scheduled, so that if the shit hits the fan, the silencedetector can take the mixer off-air again and start the next song. Recorded shows will be imported using an external script. Which leads to this question: is it possible to overwrite or delete the audio in a certain cut of a cart, without deleting the daypart-rules and without deleting other cuts? Looking forward to your solutions!

Re: [RDD] Mouse Freezes on Paravel Broadcast Automation Appliance DVD image
What kind of mouse? USB or PS/2? Have you tried a different one? Rob On Sat, 29 Mar 2014, Larry wrote: I have searched the archives and no one else has posted this problem that I can find. I have installed the Paravel broadcast automation appliance this week and the mouse will freeze/stop working after just a few minutes of use. I have to reboot to get the mouse back but it always freezes. I have installed this on a Dell Optiplex 740 dual core 64 bit processor, 2GB Ram, 1TB hard drive, ALSA compatible M-Audio Delta 44 sound card and USB mouse and keyboard. After the mouse freezes the USB keyboard will still work using the up/down and F keys but the mouse stops no matter what USB port I use. Appreciate any help.

[RDD] Set cart NEXT *and* wait a certain time
Hello, We're running Rivendell 2.6.0 and very soon we'll kick out the old automation system and switch entirely to Rivendell. During daytime, when non-stop music will be played, I'd like the news to be floating. Now I've set the news to "make next" at xx.59.17.9. The news is an event with 4 carts: bottom of the hour, news, traffic information, top of the hour and programmed as the last event of the clock. With STOP transition if the hour is somehow too short. I've chosen to let the news-event be runned from max seconds before the hour, so there will be new news. But, and here comes the question, if a 4 or more minute song starts at xx.59.16.x, the news will be 3,5 of more minutes late. And that's just a little too late. There's also the option to "wait up to xx.xx minutes". I'd like to combine these two options. Because if set to "wait up to 02.30 minutes", Rivendell won't kick out the extra songs scheduled (usually there's one or two songs too much in the hour), but just hard starts the news-event 2.30 minutes after xx.59.17.9, right in the middle (or at the start) of the "extra" song that should have been kicked out. For the news I'd like to have a 2.30 minutes window. For me it's okay to hard start the news when already 2.30 minutes in a song. By the way, setting the news as the final event of the clock is pretty handy. Never had a problem at midnight, for example.

[RDD] Phonic Firefly 808U / Adjusting output levels
Hi,
first some info regarding my system.
I installed the latest Rivendell Appliance DVD without problems. The only
issue was to make sure the name of the log does not contain a minus-sign
(which prevents LogManager from creating logs because of mySQL throwing an
error).
I'm using a Phonic Firefly 808 U Audio Interface. This gives me 8
symmetrical analogue outputs in a nice external 19" box. Mind the "U" in the
model name, it stands for "Universal" and provides connectivity for USB 2.0
and Firewire. I use the USB-Connection.
The device shows up in Alsa, no problem to configure multiple stereo outputs
for usage in RDAirplay.
Now the only problem I have so far is, that the audio output levels are
quite low. Running alsamixer does not show me the output channels. It only
shows a control named "Clock Selector", which lets me choose between USB,
SPDIF, external.
My asound.conf looks pretty straight, I made no changes so far:
pcm.rd0 {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
ctl.rd0{
type hw
card 0
}
Is there a simple way to adjust output levels, maybe directly in
asound.conf?
As far as I can see Jack is not involved in my setup, but I can't figure out
what this pulseaudio thing is all about and whether I need it or not.
Everything works smooth, just need higher levels.
Regards,
Alex
