Alas, neither of which are fully AES67 compliant. They do work quite well with 
Livewire however.

You have a couple of options:

1) Build the RPMs yourself from the sources. Tarballs are available at 
http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/ for every public release of 
Rivendell, from v0.9.80 up to current (v3.4.0 as of this writing). (You’ll also 
find some RPMs for ancient Rivendell versions on ancient versions of 
[Open]SuSE, all of which are only of historical interest today).

2) Get the back RPMs from a support site.


Paravel Systems maintains such an archive of back versions for its support 
customers.


Cheers!

James,

Thanks for the tip. Looks promising.

The Merging Technologies Alsa driver works fine under CentOS 8.  I'm actually

 We'll see if any progress is made on it.

You can always buy a hardware card that does whatever protocol you want, and of 
course, Paravel offers a driver as well.

Subject: [RDD] Anyone have AES67 working?

I'm wondering if anyone has tried out AES67 with RIvendell? There are
drivers Centos drivers for AES67 on github. We're possibly upgrading our
studio boards and the new boards support AES67. It would be nice to have
all the audio and GPIO issues solved by an AoIP solution. I can imagine
that the audio parts are pretty straight forward, but I don't know what
it would take to make the GPIO work. I know Fred did do Livewire drivers
but I don't know if that included the GPIO as well.

Re: [RDD] Idiots guide to getting JACK audio running.

2020-05-26 Thread Andrew Pepper
Thanks for the pointers. I'll try that when I get home.
Jack audio and I have battled for years. Linux is my main and only OS and
has been for about 10 years now. On and off I've tried to get it working...
It's been my nemesis haha.
And yes, I'll stop by irc for help, thanks

Re: [RDD] Idiots guide to getting JACK audio running.

2020-05-26 Thread drew Roberts
Andrew,

I am doing this from memory but try the following as an alternative to your
jack line in rdadmin:

jackd -R -d dummy -r 48000

then ps ax | grep jackd should show something like:

$ ps ax | grep jackd
 4243 pts/4SLl+   0:00 jackd -R -d dummy -r 48000
 4262 pts/19   S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto jackd

but not quite as I started that jack from my user terminal but Rivendell
will start jack as root on startup.

As someone else explained, this means jackd is not running if this is all
you get.

In light of what I have written above, if you start stereotool as rd and
not as root, it still will not see jack even though it is running.

So far, I have been dealing with a dummy sound card to let you test certain
things without worrying about the sound card issues at all.

To get your desired card back for jack use, you most likely have to run
rdalsaconfig (or has it changed? memory does not serve, my 3.x
test/learning box is not booted up right now) and deselect it.

Switch back from my dummy line to your alsa line and try again.

If you want to use qjackctl in your final setup, you will want to run it as
root as well... (If you are on a centos7 install that is, which all of this
is assuming) Pretty much everything jack *and* rivendell related must be
run as root so they can see and interact with each other.

Nope, but if you come to #rivendell on freenode irc, you may find someone
willing to walk you through a setup interactively.
