Re: [RDD] RDCatch Amb-ux username

[Matthew Chambers]

I used drop boxes for automatically importing stuff that gets downloaded or 
saved to disk by some other process (AMB-OS or any other CDN system) I had a 
program that downloaded the content save the files for each show into a 
specific folder and set up a dropbox in RDAdmin to import those files into a 
specific group. I also used the file rename feature with the downloader to save 
the file as CARTNUM.wav or CARTNUM.mp3 which makes it a bit easier.

The only thing I used RDCatch for was timed recording of stuff off the XDS 
receivers and an occasional FTP download for a few shows that were not 
distributed any other way.

Re: [RDD] RDCatch Amb-ux username

[Tom Van Gorkom]

I'm not very familiar with RDcatch because I don't use it but we have been
downloading programs from the AMR100 and importing them into Rivendell
automatically with dates set where desired for over a year. I set the
target folder in amb-ux.conf to my desired location on the Riv server and
then run a script every few hours (or as often as desired) by a cron job
that runs rdimport with all the options to set the carts, date-offsets,
normalization, etc and it does it faithfully. The only glitch in my setup
is that on the rare occasion that I reboot the server after updates
(maybe2-3x per year), the amb-ux service needs to restart and when it does,
all the last three days' audio files reload into my target folder for
import which can cause duplicates in the library if I don't remove them
first. There are ways around this which I am experimenting on and not being
real versatile in linux and busy with many other things, this comes slow
for me. Bottom line, if  you are wanting to import audio from the AMR100 to
play at a specific date and time, you can use rdimport and not mess with
RDcatch. Others may have better enlightenment on this, however.

If you are setting up RDcatch to get ftp files beyond the AMR100 files, I
use Filezilla and chose to not automate the importation of these because of
date and editing issues. The production people, often students, need to
check the audio and make sure all the dates and titles are correct.

Use the user name and p/w for the account running RDCatch.  For a stock CentOS 
7 setup, the username would be ‘rd’.

[RDD] RDCatch Amb-ux username

[Mark Murdock]

I'm again testing Rivendell. I installed it from a recent appliance iso, so 
it's CentOS 7 with Rivendell 2.17. I've installed amb-ux and it's doing its 
thing mirroring the files from the AMR-100. I set up RDCatch according to the 
intructions here:
http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/How_to_setup_downloads_and_dayparting_for_prerecorded_daily_programs_in_RDCatch
The problem: RDCatch requires a user name, and no matter what I put into this 
field, the download always fails. The Status says "Server Error: Invalid User." 
I tried creating a new Rivendell user and using that name, but same thing. The 
instructions indicate that no username or password are necessary for local file 
transfers, but RDCatch won't allow me to leave the username field empty.

Is there any solution to this problem?
