Re: [RDD] Big problem....
OK so I setup a new machine, restored the DB backup I made from before I changed the hostname, and I still have the same problem on both machines now. The music was all imported from WideOrbit and came in with the wrong start and end times, so I set them all to evergreen by editing the mysql. /var/snd ownership and permisions look right for the directory and the wav files. RD Airplay shows them RED and say no audioavailible and has the length showing as oo:oo. however they do play just fine out of rdairplay, but this is wrong behaviour. I also was unable to create a log by merging from music master, it appeared to work but was empty. I have another system working using music master and it's all setup the same way and everything looks the same. I get no errors. Scheduling with RD's scheduler is working. merging music from MM looks like it works but I get a log with only a chain to in it.not sure if this is the same problem which I am not sure what the problem is. Thanks. I'm also on IRC now.and will be as long as I am in the office working on this. Trying to have the system on air by monday.. Nathaniel C.

Now I get all carts in airplay showing 00:00 and red. They do actually play though. I am, or was, getting the unable to draw waveform error in the marker screen also. I am close to just starting over, but it would take a while to copy the /var/sndanyone know a quick fix? Also, it would be really great if the hostname could be set at install or the first run.I mean, unless you only have one machine, yu have to change the hostname at some point. I just forgot to do it first. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

(Not great but have a go.) Do everything you are doing now to get Riv and Jack to play together. Then shut down the Riv side only. Fire up VLC, set it to jack audio output and possibly shut it down and start it up again. Play a simple wav, ogg, or mp3 file. Can you get any sound out via jack now? Another thing I do is to use a jack audio meter and hook that to my sound out instead of my "speakers" and see if the meter is seeing any audio passing. > It can't be this complicated can it? > > It is likely something simple.

(Not great but have a go.) Do everything you are doing now to get Riv and Jack to play together. Then shut down the Riv side only. Fire up VLC, set it to jack audio output and possibly shut it down and start it up again. Play a simple wav, ogg, or mp3 file. Can you get any sound out via jack now? Another thing I do is to use a jack audio meter and hook that to my sound out instead of my "speakers" and see if the meter is seeing any audio passing. > It can't be this complicated can it? > > It is likely something simple.
