That’s what I had to do to eliminate this problem.  Up the number of streams 
and you will be in good shape.

Re: [RDD] VNC or X for Windows access to Rivendell?

[Alan Smith]

I have one lingering question on the VNC aspect with virtual displays:

I found I had to create a separate linux user to get this to work.  
Using the 'rd' account to create a virtual display for vnc caused me 
issues with autostart applications since user 'rd' automatically logs in 
locally on boot.


The question:  Do I need to do anything permissions wise to this new 
Linux user (such as add them to a specific group) to remotely use the 
log tools/clock/events/etc?  I have tried a few things, and so far all 
seem to work, I just don't want any "gotchas" when I go live.


Thanks,

-Alan

Over a lan, take you pick.

I do something similar in a pure linux environment when I ssh to a 
rivendell box with xforwarding enabled.


ssh -X rd@someaddress

On a slower network, I find vnc to be "faster"... For a simple rdadmin 
check / change, for a quick peek at a log in rdlogedit, it works.


I would guess on a slower network you might find similar results.

You need to upgrade the AudioScience driver. Not all driver versions support 
all models; in particular, some of the newer models (of which the ASI5810 is 
one) don’t work with the driver version that is installed by default.

To upgrade the driver for CentOS 7, download:

hpklinux-4.20.16-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 


Then run (as root):

yum update 

When the update is finished, reboot. You’re done.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your ASI card is currently working fine, then DON’T UPGRADE 
THE DRIVER! Chances are good that you’ll break it if you do (especially if you 
have one of the very early models, such as an ASI6114).

Cheers!

Some background: each ASI card has a certain fixed number of output streams. 
Each cart playing (whether from a log, a SoundPanel button, from RDLibrary or 
whatever) consumes 1 stream. When you run out available streams, you get those 
messages shown above, and nothing plays. Not a Good Thing.

Basically, two things can cause this problem:

1) A bug in Rivendell. (not likely in this case, assuming you are running a 
stable Rivendell version (2.19.x)).

2) Trying to do too much with too little sound card resources —e.g. running 
three logs, each with segue overlaps, with a single ASI card that has a max 
capability of four streams. (When two carts overlap in a segue, they *each* use 
a stream —i.e. *two* streams for as long as the segue lasts)

Most ASI cards come from the factory set to use a maximum of four streams by 
default, so you’ll see that it can actually be rather easy to hit this limit. 
The good news is that this depressingly low limit can often be increased by 
running the hpiinfo(8) utility and setting the card to use a different mode 
(how many depends on the exact model of card in question). On Paravel CentOS

card’s mode, be sure to take a look at the ‘Inputs’ and ‘Outputs’ count for it 
in rdadmin(1) after the reboot: some modes can cause those numbers to change!

[RDD] Changing to AudioScience Card

[Jesse Jones]

I have a Rivendell Appliance version 2.19.3 (in Centos 7)
The unit works nicely using the onboard card - but we want to upgrade
(yesterday of course) to an AudioScience ASI5810 which shows up in lspci on
slot 02 (where I actually put it) but Rivendell does not see it - and it
does not show up in the aplay list.
   I have read several posts about using HPInfo - but I have not found that
in utilities or RDAdmin - and YUM does not recognize that...
   I have downloaded the HPK files (to /Download).
1) is there a step by step guide to installing the ASI5810 written for the
appliance or Centos 7 (Ubantu commands don't work well in the Appliance)
2) if not, how do I get the HPInfo utility into this appliance
3) and how do I get this sound card to work?

I love experimenting like the next guy - but the time has come to bite the
stick and ask!

The usage is very similar to that of rdimport(1) — in fact, it takes all of the 
same options. The difference is that the  now refers to 
*directories*, rather than files! So, say you had a directory full of MP3s in a 
directory called ‘/home/rd/MyMusic’. You could import the whole batch into a 
group called ‘MUSIC’ by doing:

nested-import.pl MUSIC /home/rd/MyMusic

If ‘/home/rd/MyMusic’ contained subdirectories, it would recurse down into 
those as well. And so on.

However, a lot of the real power lies in the fact that all of the usual 
rdimport(1) commands can still be given and will work as expected. Thus, you 
could do:

nested-import.pl --segue-level=-10 --autotrim-level=-30 
--normalization-level=-10 MUSIC /home/rd/MyMusic

and all of those level parameters would be applied to each import, just as if 
you’d done each one individually with rdimport(1).

It works with scheduler codes too. Say Drew has sent you a USB drive full of 
Bahamian music, which you’ve mounted at ‘/media/usb_key’. You could create a 
scheduler code (in rdadmin(1)) called ‘BHMA’, then import the music by doing:

nested-import.pl --add-scheduler-code=BHMA MUSIC /media/usb_key

and then every file imported would be tagged with code ‘BHMA’ so you could 
program the music scheduler to call for one wherever you wanted to add a little 
Caribbean flavor to your music mix. (Of course, you can also add your standard 
level parameters to that invocation so the levels and markers come in just 
right as well).

Lots of possibilities here. The easiest way to get started is the experiment 
with a few files and see what effect turning the various knobs produce. I 
wouldn’t try a batch of 5000 files until you have a good sense of what to 
expect.

Cheers!

As I am a novice here, I would be most grateful if you could do me the 
favour of providing an example usage of nested-import.pl, just so that I

The command-line invocation I am using currently would be:

rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 --autotrim-level=-30 
--normalization-level=-10  MUSIC *


How would I call the Perl script with these parameters?

Many thanks

Re: [RDD] VNC or X for Windows access to Rivendell?

[Lorne Tyndale]

Yes, I've used Xming for years on Windows desktops and it works quite
well, and it is quite easy to set up an icon for the requested Rivendell
app, runs just like any other app (minus the sound of course).  

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/

I have also experimented with audio transport - running Jack on the
Rivendell end and a VOIP app, routing the Rivendell in/out audio to VOIP
via Jack.  To launch from Windows involves first "calling" the Rivendell
box with a VOIP client before launching the Rivendell application via
Xming.  It works, although you do get the bit of delay that any VOIP
setup gives.  Its possible do the same thing for audio with VNC.

Re: [RDD] rdimport - Suggested ingestion parameters?

[Richard Elen]

Hi...

I now have a 2TB drive mounted at /var that can hopefully contain the RD 
music library in WAV format and I'm beginning to import files. As a 
result I have a couple of queries.


I am navigating to the source music library root directory, which is a 
read-only-mounted NTFS partition, and issuing the command:
rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 --autotrim-level=-30 
--normalization-level=-10  MUSIC *.mp3


The first thing I see is the message:
"Session management: None of the authentication protocols specified are 
supported".

What is this telling me?

Meanwhile, the files appear successfully ingested from the root of the 
source library. However:


 * How do I import all audio file types in one go, or at least *.mp3
   and *.flac for starters?;
 * How do I make it recurse so it crawls the source library and grabs
   the content of all my album folders and sub-folders? Only a few
   files are in the root: most are in album folders and sometimes deeper.


MTIA for any observations.

Best,
--Richard E

I was honestly unaware that this option even existed! Assuming that it works as 
advertised, I have to think that it would be greatly preferred over the VNC 
approach for most situations. Just double-click an icon and open the Rivendell 
module. No remote ‘desktop’ at all for the Windows user to have to futz around 
with. I do this sort of thing routinely from remote Linux systems, and it works 
very well indeed.

Nice catch. Thank you!

Cheers!

[RDD] VNC or X for Windows access to Rivendell?

[Lorne Tyndale]

Hi,

With some of the recent discussion around using x11vnc server and a VNC
client to access Rivendell applications from a Windows box, it got me
thinking - is this the best way to do this, or is it better to run an X
server on the Windows system such as Xming and just log in / launch the
needed app?

I've done both and I don't know that I have a real preference either
way.  The only thing I've run into with running the X server on Windows
is that all the apps have to be launched in the same display for drag
and drop to work, but that is easy enough to do.

Do others have a preference one way or the other?

Just curious.

 Sadly, true.

 Even the GUI version is not exactly "user friendly" and, much like windows,
 it knows better than you do, ( you idiot ) which makes it difficult.

++, *provided* that the drive capacity is <=2 TB. If it’s larger, you’re pretty 
much forced to use gparted(8) as you’ll need a GPT partition table.

Cheers!

 Honestly, CentOS-6 has an excellent disk manager in the full install GUI.
 I'd add the new disk as a second ( or third ) drive in a running,
 fully functional CentOS-6 box, and use that.

 It'll be under Applications, System Tools, Disk Utility

[RDD] Formatting A New Hard Drive In Centos 6

[Rich Stivers]

This is not a Rivendell question per se, but I need to replace a bad 
system drive on one of my Rivendell workstations running
Centos 6. I have a brand new hard drive that has never been formatted. 
I've read online that new drives can be formatted in

Rescue Mode booted from an installation disk.

After I boot my Rivendell Appliance DVD into Rescue Mode, what commands 
and parameters are ideal to create the proper
partitions, etc. for a Rivendell installation? Does the formatting 
procedure change depending if the computer uses BIOS or

UEFI?

Thanks,
