It's not free, but it's cheap, and it's a one-time payment.

I haven't tried adding the new user to group 'rd' yet (I don't know how 
to do it, I will research it).  I hate that a lot of the administrative 
functions that were available in the GUI on CentOS6 have been removed 
from the GUI in 7. :-(


Gnome 3 is evil. I've never understood what was the point in developing 
it; no one I know has anything good to say about it.


MATE, which is available as an install option in Debian, is a clone of 
Gnome 2, and seems to work very wel with Rivendell.


The CentOS 7 Rivendell standard install uses Xfce.

But my question is, will that really do the trick?  By adding user 'x' 
to group 'rd', user x will be able to access rd's home folder (where the 
shares are located)?  IE /home/rd/traffic_export


It should, but the folder and the files in it have to be group-writable.

Re: [RDD] Relocating shared folders

2019-09-25 Thread Alan Smith

Thank you again.

I'll give Xming a go since I am getting the impression that it is the 
preferred method of log generation/maintenance these days from Windows 
machines.


Since my current system is in production already, I'll experiment on 
another machine.

You can get two GPOs using the ‘Serial Port Modem Control Lines’ driver. See:

Could you post a backtrace? Do (in a root shell):

gdb rddbmgr
run —modify

Then, after the segfault, do:

bt

and post the result.

Cheers!

For any new installation, 48k is what you want. Pretty much all ‘pro audio’ 
systems have settled on that rate. There are ways to interface a 44.1k or 32k 
setup to AES67, but they can be somewhat expensive (ASI6685 card).

I spent a deal of time at this year’s NAB spring show shopping Dante support 
for Linux. AFAICT, it’s nearly non-existent. And yes, Audinate’s 
decision to handle configuration and management through a proprietary 
application is very problematic.

I’ve not seen this, nor is Google returning anything useful. Got a link?

Which Livewire modules do you have in mind?

Re: [RDD] Digital audio over IP

2019-09-25 Thread Tim Camp
Greetings Sir,

Here are a couple of interesting links.
https://bitbucket.org/MergingTechnologies/ravenna-alsa-lkm/src/master/
Merging Technologies Ravenna AES67 Alsa Driver, gives 8X8 in Rivendell
GPL on alsa driver. License required for OEM
Kernel driver for alsa.
I have installed and got it running, having some issues with PTPD but
working on it.
Should be able to interface with dante running in AES67 mode according to
merging.
They have a separate linux control app which is not GPL
both are in the link.
Merging seems to be very interested in further linux integration.
A lot of live Sound tech guys are getting very nervous about running
windows during a live concert. (can't imagine why)

Here is Digigram link, it is a dante card but has a AES67 mode.
https://www.digigram.com/production-and-sound-cards/lx-dante-ip-audio-network-multichannel-sound-card/

[RDD] Virtual Logs - how to use them

2019-09-25 Thread Lorne Tyndale
Forgive me if this question has already been answered.

I'm trying to figure out how the new Virtual Logs in rdairplay work.  I
see where you can configure them in rdadmin, but I can't figure out how
to actually use them.

Any guidance would be great.

Thanks,

Lorne Tyndale

[RDD] Time issue

2019-09-25 Thread Bruce Lee Mones
Hello again,

Im having issue with the time indicated in RDAirplay and system time of
CentOS7.

My system (CentOS) time says right now is 02:47:50PM but RDAirplay time
says 02:47:50AM

Is there a switch in RDAirplay to fix the time?

Yes I have set the timezone to Asia/Manila ti the clock properties.

TIA.
