[RDD] RML for external audio capture on 3.6.2
Happy Monday, y'all! So over the weekend, the power supply in our Rivendell server finally bit the dust after nearly 7 years of 24/7/365 continuous use. The problem is, I'm in Mexico and the computer's in Los Angeles, and I'm not planning to go back to replace the PSU any time soon. The situation sort of forced a migration from physical hardware to the cloud. I installed v3.6.2 on CentOS 7 and imported the active library from backup. Converted the database from 2.10.3 and everything is working, except RML commands with a local audio adapter for capturing live remotes (outside broadcasts). The RML commands and GPIO configs migrated with the database, but when you click on admin/manage hosts/*host*/switchers GPIO/local audio adapter/configure inputs -- I get the error: "the primary serial device is not active." I tested with Florent's Ubuntu packages on a local VM with the same results. Really need help solving this since we do a TON of live broadcasts. I've tried changing the permissions for RML commands in rd.conf. Nothing works. The commands don't do anything anymore and the system stops responding to user input after trying to execute the remote RML requiring a reboot. It's probably important to mention that we've added the value User=rd to the Rivendell systemd unit so that Rivendell runs as the local user (required for jackd and liquidsoap to communicate). Anyone have any luck getting RML commands for local audio adapters to work on 3.6.2?

[RDD] Definitive Guide to Installing Rivendell v3 on a Digitalocean CentOS 7 Droplet
Hello from the other side, Got a lot of requests for how to get Rivendell working on a VPS, so I just finished documenting the process <https://tecwhisperer.com/definitive-guide-to-installing-rivendell-v3-on-a-digitalocean-centos-7-droplet/>. It's a work in progress and I still need to add sections for how to create persistent Jack patches with QJackCtl, enabling Stereo Tool processing, etc... I'll be updating as time permits. Enjoy! -- Brandon Anjeleno Subliminal Radio <http://subliminalradio.net/popup-player> (213) 839-7667 ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
[RDD] Rivendell on a Cloud (Part 2) issue with RML
Hello again! Remember How I said in my previous email that Rivendell on a Cloud "solved several problems and created one new one for me (which I'll outline in a separate email) and could use your input in solving?" Buckle up, here's that email. First, a little context... Subliminal Radio does a TON of LIVE remotes... At least one a week, sometimes 2 or more... For all of our remote broadcasts, we use James Harrison's OpenOB (earlier stack from 2016) on a dedicated machine and capture the audio on a Digigram VX222HR on the Rivendell machine, and have a couple RML commands assigned to hotkeys in RDAirPlay to stop local programming, start and capture LIVE programming... Then stop, drop capture and resume local programming. These have been working flawlessly for several years now... OpenOBv4.0.3 has been less reliable in testing for us than earlier versions and also not very accessible for guest DJs to use to connect and broadcast live. The less-ideal work-around is VLC and vlc-plugin-jack installed on Rivendell on a Cloud. We've configured an Azuracast droplet to use as a relay -- where guest DJs can connect a BUTT client using Liquidsoap+Icecast DJ credentials on the remote end -- and we can connect as a normal listener on the Rivendell end. Guest DJ connects to Azuracast relay and starts streaming Open VLC in Rivendell on a Cloud VLC manually connects to Icecast relay URL VLC to Jack patches are defined in QJackCtl Stream connectes VLC output patches itself to JACK input -- Rivendell_0:Record_0 Press hotkey to Start LIVE REMOTE ON >> which plays an intro cued up in RDAirPlay deck 2 >> fades out of previous song in deck 1 >> captures the sound card and puts RDAirPlay in Manual mode until we finish. These are the RD v2.10.3 RML commands we've been using for almost 4 years to turn LIVE audio capture ON / OFF. For testing in Rivendell on a Cloud, I've re-created them in a clean v3 database, not a converted DB. LIVE REMOTE ON 001 PM3! 002 PS 0 0 250! 003 PN 1! 004 ST 0 1 1! 005 PS 0 4! 006 LB LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST! 001 puts RDAirPlay into manual mode 002 fades current element, otherwise, RDAirPlay plays audio to end of file instead of segue marker and trainwrecks with intro 003 plays intro for live broadcast 004 captures analog audio from Digigram VX222HR 005 waits 40 seconds so that live remote intro doesn't get clipped 006 displays LIVE mode Everything WORKS up to this point... Then goes to hell in a handbag. You don't notice it until you try to hit the hotkey to get out of a LIVE remote broadcast and realize that the LIVE REM OFF RML hotkey is unresponsive. Oh, and RDLibrary is EMPTY and the logs disappear from RDLogEdit even though the active log is still visible in RDAirPlay... You can manually hit the next element in the log, but the LIVE capture is STILL LIVE so it's a disaster. This problem occurs immediately after executing LIVE REMOTE *ON*. Seems related to the database since the library disappears, but some functions still work (like RDAdmin, RDLogManager). I thought maybe the LIVE REM ON RML was killing MariaDB, but restarting MariaDB fails to make any difference. I've tried changing the order and deleting some of the commands in each RML with the same results. The only way to get out (and get the library back) is a reboot. This is what the RML to get out of LIVE programming and back to local looks like: LIVE REM OFF 001 PM 2! 002 LB BACK TO LOCAL! 003 PN 1! 004 SP 1500! 005 SR 0 1 1! 001 puts RDAirPlay back in automatic mode 002 updates mode 003 plays next element cued up in deck 1 004 sleeps for 1.5 seconds (can't remember why... wtf?) 005 drops soundcard capture from RDAirPlay input *What do you guys think? Is this a bug in RDv3 RML commands? Something specific to installing Rivendell on a VPS? Or... aliens?* For now, still testing Rivendell on a Cloud. If we can resolve this issue, we can move our whole Rivendell install from hardware based automation, to cloud based! Ideally, we'd like to get OpenOBv4 working reliably for higher quality remotes and automated connections -- and also tweak some of the RML commands if there's a cleaner way to do what we need. A few people reached out asking if I documented the steps to build Rivendell on a Cloud... I haven't *yet, *but plan to*.* I'll cook up a recipe from my notes and post them in the near future. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: [RDD] Broken Rivendell Dropboxes on Rivendell v 3.1.0 appliance
Hi Robert, So last night, we ran yum update -y as root on the server and there were no updates to apply... Removing the %i wildcard on the server also didn't fix the issue (even though it worked on my virtualbox Rivendell test server/client setup). We installed the client last night and ran yum update -y as root. The dropboxes still fail to import with metadata wildcards. However, dropboxes on the client successfully import to the server without the metadata wildcards. Thanks for the help!!

[RDD] Broken Rivendell Dropboxes on Rivendell v 3.1.0 appliance
Hello everyone! Not sure if I discovered a bug in v3.1.0... Or a glitch specific to our install at UCLA Radio in LA. Just did a fresh Server/Client Riv 3.1.0 install on CentOS 7 with the appliance script. Converted the DB from previous V2.10.3 install. Everything seemed to go without a hitch. The problem: Dropbox is ignoring files and not reporting any errors in the error log. When I run rdimport from the command line, it threw an error (which I don't recall at the moment -- but Googling made it sound like an Apache error) -- but this seems unlikely since we installed from the appliance script. After experimenting with different Dropbox configs all night, removing %i from the Dropbox Metadata Pattern field fixed the issue and Dropbox resumes importing files. Using %t_%a metadata pattern also fails to import anything. Is anyone else experiencing Dropbox import issues when specifying metadata patterns? We can live without it, but %i gives us the cleanest cut titles without "imported from..." in the titles, although doesn't fix cart titles. Worked as expected in 2.10.3.

Re: [RDD] Sound cards
One station is running on Debian 8 Jessie... and another station is running Mint 17.1. Both run Rivendell (GASP!) 2.10.3 with the older Tryphon packages for ease and stability with Debian. Both machines are mission critical, so I'll probably migrate them over when I feel like the latest RD is stable in the Debian environment without things breaking (mostly QT and SQL issues, not directly related to RD -- I don't have the time to compile from scratch and troubleshoot.)

[RDD] Post Migration Issue with Audio Resources
I'll preface this with not being extremely well versed in Linux or Rivendell back end. I just migrated from a box running an old appliance (CentOS 5) to a new box with the latest appliance. I have followed the migration instructions and created a new host and based it on the old one. In the new host, nothing populates in the Audio Resources area however all of the data is populated in the old host. This being the case, I cannot access log features or configure my audio card (ASI). We've run the scripts to start daemons, rebooted, etc. Am I missing a simple step?

Re: [RDD] Dealing with multi-hour carts (of variable length)
I haven't done this, but I'm gonna weigh in with what seems like the logical solution (to me) in hopes that it helps you... It sounds like you need to build several clocks... Your normal clock with the hard time marker at 00:00 to keep NORMAL PROGRAMMING on time -- that gets scheduled every hour EXCEPT THE HOURS OF YOUR LONG-FORM PROGRAMMING. And another clock(s) for your LONG-FORM programming hours WITHOUT the hard time marker -- that is scheduled on the grid ONLY DURING THE HOURS OF LONG-FORM PROGRAMMING -- with the specific cart(s) for your 3 hour program. And if the length of the program varies, you might need another clock specifically for the LAST HOUR of LONG-FORM with music categories over-scheduled and allow Rivendell to drop songs based on the hard start of the REGULAR CLOCK at the top of the 3rd/4th hour AFTER LONG-FORM ENDS. OR... Maybe a clock for LONG-FORM PROGRAMMING without a hard time marker but with an RML command to put automation into manual mode for 2 hours 50 minutes? That's where I'd begin if I needed to do what you're describing. Hope that helps!

Hey Seth, Have a look at this article <https://tecwhisperer.com/install-rivendell-automation-part-4-rivendell-hosts/>. Skip down to the "Automate Music Import with Custom Dropboxes" section. Basically, install your dropbox.com linux client. Then, map it to your Rivendell dropbox. Very easy. Works like a charm!

Re: [RDD] Desperately need help building clocks for Live Remote (outside broadcast)
As a side note, I picked up an Asus Chromebox tonight to build a super portable remote kit. Originally, I was just going to use a Raspberry Pi, but the specs on the Chromebox are ridiculously impressive for the cost and tiny footprint! As soon as I hack it up and get Debian/OpenOB installed, I'll report my results for anyone interested. Also got a deep Smatree GA700-2 GoPro travel case and portable USB powered monitor to mount inside the lid of the case, so it will all be self-contained when I'm finished! Still waiting for the monitor. Hope it fits inside the case! Brandon On Fri, Jun 3, 2016 at 1:35 AM, Brandon <bran...@subliminalradio.net> wrote: > That's interesting, Wayne.

Re: [RDD] Desperately need help building clocks for Live Remote (outside broadcast)
That's a creative approach, Ermina. Ultimately, I'd like to build a little more structure around how we execute remotes on the programming side. Wonder how news/talk formats handle longform live programming, with long stretches of talk? I think I could apply a similar strategy, but instead of long talk breaks, it would be filled with live remote audio. Anyone in news/talk formats have any experience building clocks that keep RDAirPlay on time for traffic, imaging, bumpers, IDs, etc?

Re: [RDD] TuneIn API?
Hello again Everyone! Unfortunately, I never managed to get the TuneIn AIR API working... But I'm at it again... Using the RML line in now and next as Tim previously suggested: RN wget http://air.radiotime.com/Playing.ashx?partnerId= ===%t=%a! ...doesn't update TuneIn for me... However, if I replace "=%t=%a!" with the TuneIn example : "=Bad+Romance=Lady+Gaga" DUN DUN DUN... For the first time, it's actually sending data to TuneIn... Of course, the problem is that it's sending Bad Romance - Lady Gaga as static info. But at least I confirmed that Rivendell and TuneIn are in fact, speaking... SO... does anyone have any suggestions to get =%t=%a! working? Or what the proper formatting is? Ermina mentioned URL encoding and sanitizing in a shell script, but where would this be accomplished? James Harrison has a curl example that seems to do the same thing on the fly, but I'm not sure how to format the whole thing for artist and title. I can paste James first example just fine... But when I try to add artist, based on James' example, it won't let me paste the whole command into the RML line. So either it's too long, or the formatting is wrong? RN GET http://air.radiotime.com/Playing.ashx?partnerId=H8b4Z5iR=BSe2rUFkHN1Z=s258126= "$(perl - -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0]);' "%t")"="$(perl - -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0]);' "%a")" I'm stumped...

Re: [RDD] when does this happen?
Do you have your Rivendell Host configured properly? The Rivendell host needs to exactly match the actual hostname of your physical machine. So, if you called the machine "studio" when you installed Linux, then your Rivendell Host (RDAdmin/Manage Hosts) for that machine would have to be called studio, for everything to work. Good luck!

You should be able to run RDAdmin and use root for the user and whatever your MySQL root password is. Rivendell will build the default account for you. After it creates the default database just login to RDAdmin as 'admin' (without the quotes) and leave the password blank. Then you should be able to restore your RD database backup over the top of the default account. Let us know what happens!

Re: [RDD] TuneIn API?
Thank you all for the suggestions! I'm trying to keep everything as clean and simple as possible without hacking a bunch of scripts together. Because, as we all know, when something breaks, it's messier to fix and I want to keep my installations standardized. Care to weigh in Fred? Any plans to support Tunein AirAPI natively? I still don't get why Tunein doesn't read the current metadata properly and consistently. Thanks!

[RDD] Rivendell+RCS GSelector questions
Hello again! Robert Orr was very helpful pointing me in the right direction to find the SQL tables that contain the Rivendell library data I need. Thank you, Robert! I'm about to send off my existing DB in a spreadsheet for RCS to convert to GSelector and could use some more help with the following: 1. RCS is going to convert the existing data to GSelector data but they require time in mm:ss format. It looks like the time is calculated in milliseconds?? Anyone know a shortcut (or a formula to convert to mm:ss format in a libreoffice / open document spreadsheet?) Google hasn't been much help with this one. Right now, I'm entering the times manually -- using the the "Segue Start" parameter to specify the length of each cut -- and will continue to do so unless someone has a better idea :-) 2. Since Title and Artist info is saved to the CART table and RDAirplay plays carts with multiple cuts, it seems logical to me that RDAirPlay only cares about CARTs not CUTs as far as log generation is concerned. Is it correct to assume that the (CART) table holds the critical info for external music scheduling software log generation? 3. I can't find any kind of Rivendell music log in a text format, only in the SQL database. Does RDAirPlay read it directly from the SQL DB? Or does it generate a text file somewhere? 4. Which begs the next question... When you merge music in RDLogManager, is it actually importing your third-party log into SQL for RDAirPlay to read from? 5. Just finished reading this Wiki <http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Importing_External_Logs_into_Rivendell> and this wiki <http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Importing_External_logs_into_Rivendell_-_Music_and_Traffic> on importing music from external software. Right now, in Rivendell, I specify a Timed(MakeNext), scheduler EVENT on my top of the hour IDs, which seems to do a pretty good job of keeping me on time and dropping songs and their associated imaging if I'm running over. All of my Rivendell Events have "segue" as the default transition. Should I let my pre-merge Rivendell Clock handle the Top of the Hour ID with the hard start time and drop it from the first position in my GSelector clock/log to keep things working the same way? Or can you achieve the same behavior with an external scheduler? 6. Wait, thinking out loud here: if the transition type and hard start times are functions of EVENTS (in RDLogmanager/Edit Events) then it's not dependent on Rivendell or Selector clocks... Correct? Does RDAirPlay interpret the transition and hard times as each cart is played? Can anyone confirm or correct? 7. What are the absolute required fields from the Rivendell database for an external music scheduler, like GSelector, to generate a proper program log for Rivendell to read? Right now, I'm planning on sending: NUMBER, GROUP, TITLE, ARTIST, ALBUM, LABEL, COMPOSER, and LENGTH -- which I'm entering manually. 8. Does Rivendell have a mechanism for reconciling played music logs back into GSelector to maintain proper rotation and keep actual play history vs. scheduled history? 9. Not using any macros yet, but if/when I do, how is that handled with an external scheduler? Do they work like carts? Build them in Rivendell, assign a cart number and schedule the cart with external scheduler? Sorry, I know that's a ton of info... but hopefully this will help someone else down the road too :-) With gratitude, Brandon ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] TuneIn API?
Hey Gang, I've got several issues I'm working on right now, but I'll break each issue into separate emails. Issue 1: Tunein AirAPI not updating I'm already embedding metadata with icecast2.conf and everything works perfect, however tunein (both website and and Android app) don't read my metadata. VLC and pretty much all other native clients read my metadata just fine. Oddly enough, if you listen to the station with Tunein on Sonos, it reads my the metadata (without artwork) properly. Contacted Tunein support and they told me that their Tunein AirAPI is more reliable than standard metadata embedding (not sure why?) and enabled support for me. I modified the command below with my Tunein IDs/Key and pasted it in the RML field in the Now & Next parameters. Rebooted Rivendell. But still no song metadata or artwork in Tunein. Anyone else have the Tunein AirAPI configured and working properly? I realize this is an old topic... But maybe something has changed in the way Rivendell handles this? Thank you!

[RDD] GENERATING SOUNDEXCHANGE REPORTS

Generating reports from RDLogManager, only generates blank text files with headers. In fact, generating reports from anywhere only generates a blank file with headers. I can probably export a spreadsheet from CentovaCast, but I'd prefer to send proper SoundExchange and ASCAP reports from Rivendell. Any ideas? Thank you!

Re: [RDD] RDAlsaConfig v2.10.3 Audio Problems
Hey Ryan, I find that this is usually a symptom of mis-matched host names. Your RD hosts, MUST EXACTLY MATCH the hostname of each workstation. So, if you named your on-air play-out machine onair without he quotes, when you installed Linux. Then the RD host for that machine must be onair without the quotes, or all audio will fail. Also, make sure you assign system services for each host in the RD host manager. Go to RDAdmin/Manage Hosts/[hostname] and make sure that localhost is assigned to core audio engine, for that host. If you're using static IP addresses for each work station, you will want to replace the localhost IP (127.0.0.1) with the static IP of each machine in each RD host file... Good luck!!!

Re: [RDD] Installing Rivendell on 3/4 Computers on Ubuntu 14.04
Hey Ryan, Actually, I wrote the tutorial, and as Wayne points out, there are definitely simpler ways of achieving a basic Rivendell installation. It's based on an installation I did for UCLA Radio here in Los Angeles. And I wanted to document the process with as much detail as possible. The biggest problem I have with most Linux documentation, is that there's a lot of information scattered around, but sometimes it leaves out too much detail or becomes obsolete. I'm planning to update the tutorial soon. For example, Drew Roberts from the Rivendell and Liquidsoap mailing lists -- shared his snippet that finally got my Liquidsoap talking with Jack -- so I'd like to include that. I'd also like to do a tutorial that focuses specifically on streaming. Feel free to leave comments, so I can make changes/improvements to the tutorial. All feedback is welcome! The key areas the tutorial focuses on, are: - Setting up a Rivendell network (server and clients) - Sharing audio across the network with NFS - Auto-mounting the shares without messing with fstab - Improving boot time with the AutoNFS script. - Configuring Rivendell dropboxes for easily importing audio - Rivendell host examples for your network so you can dedicate individual machines for on-air, production, music, etc... Hope it helps you. Brandon Sent from outer space...

Here is my problem: To make the a real comprehensive document to cover most everyones' needs as well having enough background information for newbies, one could easily end up with a documentation project that is too big to ever complete (or in my case, to even get started on!). For example, in your document a few words about why you chose to go the Ubuntu/Peignier's route instead of the Paravel Appliance or perhaps a SuSE route might be helpful to many. In my case I have a lot of specific reasons why I went with a custom Debian install. Then why or why not use Jackd? You can see how a documentation project like this can grow out of control! So here is an idea I've been toying around with that perhaps might also encourage others: How about a section in the Rivendell Wiki that is titled Example Setups where people can post some much more limited documents of Here is my setup, how to build/configure it, and unique things it does instead of trying to teach everything to everybody. This way people can look through info on our real-world working systems and if they find something that fits them, they can choose to build it? Some people might choose to simply post some cryptic notes meant just for their own internal staff to refer to (but still could be useful for the rest of us) while others might post a full step-by-step document like you are creating. So my point is for you to please complete your work, at least initially in a form that will work for you and your staff, and then only optionally choose to embellish it up with more general information that might only be suited for others, as your valuable time permits! Oh, but make sure you have it dated with versions so people can make judgements down the road as to how obsolete your document might be. PS: It might be nice if we ALL pitched in and tried to complete the Administration Guide, If we all just pitched in a paragraph or two, it might actually get done. The Rivendell Operations Guide, once very good, is getting a bit dated as well. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
[RDD] SOLICITING FEEDBACK FOR RIVENDELL TUTORIAL
Greetings from Los Angeles: First of all, I really appreciate the support here in the mailing list. You guys (and gals) are the best!!! I've been in the middle of a major hardware upgrade and installing Rivendell automation at UCLARadio.com (the online radio station at UCLA). I thought it would be a really good opportunity to document the project, for the student management to be able to maintain the system. The tutorial isn't completely finished yet, but I wanted to solicit your feedback. If anyone has the time or curiosity to walk through the steps, it would be great if you could confirm the accuracy and clarity of the documentation. And I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any shortcuts, suggestions and improvements, etc to post in the comments section. Cheers! http://tecwhisperer.com/install-rivendell-radio-automation-part-1-system-preparation/ ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

[RDD] Log Skipping Hard Start Time Events
As mentioned before, I'm running my system thru the rigors before putting it on air. I've been running logs the past few days and it's purging songs as needed in order to hit the hard start timed events (set up as Make Next). Every few hours it will actually skip the hard start timed event. How should I avoid this as some of these have sponsors? I've tried a couple of different scenarios: The events are Top of the Hour and Bottom of the Hour. TOH is weather Legal ID. BOH is weather intro weather sponsor weather. I've tried setting each up as it's own event, scheduled the appropriate time and Make Next. I also, and currently have it set up as a TOH event Pre-Importing the Weather cart and Legal ID Cart, and a BOH event Pre-Importing the Weather Intro cart, Weather Sponsor Cart and Weather cart. Either way, the log occasionally skips these events. Thanks in advance!

I assumed it was the same for Now Next in RD but I don't get any title updates on the stream end. I'm streaming via ShoutCast. If 3rd party is required, who is everyone using these days?

Re: [RDD] Importing multiple files into rdlibrary via rdimport.
Hey Owen- I was on this same learning curve just a few weeks ago. I found it best to copy all the files from the original location and paste them into a folder on the desktop. For simplicity, I labeled the folder musicimport. I too had several sub folders which I wanted to import into a respective Group in RD. That being said, I copied the files out of each sub folder, one folder at a time so that it was only the files within the musicimport folder on the desktop...no sub folders. Once I had the files in place, I personally used this command in the terminal: RDImport --verbose MUSIC /home/rd/Desktop/musicimport/*.mp3 Obviously you'll want to substitute the MUSIC group with whatever group you'd like the files imported to. Additionally, if the files you're importing are WAV , you'll want to change the *.mp3 to *.wav. Doing it this way allows you to keep your files in their original location which would double as a back up. Hope this helps. --brandon sossamon Hello, I'm still on a steep learning curve setting up and getting to know Rivendell. I'm trying to import and convert to wav mp3 files from a removable drive via usb. The drive is called 'Elements' the main music folder is called 'MUSIC'. Within the 'MUSIC' folder are many sub folders. I've tried to import in terminal following these instructions http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Using_rdimport_to_import_mp3_files I get a reply. Can't open Elements, skipped. Can't open MUSIC skipped. Can't open (name of sub folder). skipped. Can't open *.mp3. I thought I'd place the files as cuts in carts that represented the folder it came from on the removable drive 'Elements'. I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me the string of instructions I need to import files from Elements/MUSIC/subfoldername. Also. As I don't want the files on the removable drive deleted I need to be sure. Amongst the text that 'terminal' presents it does say that the delete function is off, so I guess that the original files are safe. Perhaps I need to copy the files from the removable drive onto the main hard drive and import from there.

I intended to update this sooner, but I've had a lot going on. We are fully on the new system now, so here it is... There were actually a couple of separate issues going on which made it difficult to figure out exactly where the problem was. First, the Rosewill RC-301 PCI serial card just doesn't want to work with CentOS 6.4. I tried a handful of things and never could get any activity out of it. The specs claim Linux support, but I never had any luck. Secondly, I mistakenly set up my switcher in Rivendell as a BroadcastTools 8X2, which is not the same thing as a BroadcastTools 8.2. This explains why when I dropped in a known compatible card, the SIIG CyberPro S4, I saw serial data coming out of the card, but I couldn't get Rivendell to actually change channels. Thirdly, there does appear to be some kind of bug in the Appliance v2 involving serial ports. Even now, on Rivendell 2.8.0, when I reboot the new system, the serial ports don't work at first. They seem to not be enabled or connected in Rivendell. This problem is remedied by opening up RDAdmin and disabling each needed serial port and then re-enabling it. Finally, if anyone is looking for a USB to serial adapter that works with the Appliance, I can recommend this Manhattan model from Amazon, which is currently available for a little over $8: http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Serial-Converter- Connects-205146/dp/B0007OWNYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid= 1389719503sr=8-1keywords=usb+to+serial .

Re: [RDD] Need Help With Serial Problems
Mine is not USB based so I can rule that out. It's either the serial controller in the monitor or the card not getting along with the ASUS motherboard. I still have a few tricks to try out and I'll add yours to the list. Next on the agenda...find time! --brandon sossamon Hi, I've often run into difficulties with USB-based serial adapters, to the point where I've given up on them for all but the most trivial things. If you're able to find something with an onboard serial port, or failing that get a card-based port, you'll be likely to save a lot of headaches. Another thing I've run into, some serial ports only seem to work properly after they've been initially set up. I had one system a while back where it would not see the serial port upon boot until I opened up a terminal prompt and gave it the setup: stty -F /dev/ttyS0 9600 Of course, replace the S0 and the 9600 with the port number and baud rate you are using. What I ended up doing on that computer is I put the command into a script which runs upon boot, that solved the issue. You could potentially put this into the Rivendell daemon init script, trigger the serial port before starting up the rest of the daemons. I don't know if this might help to fix the problem mentioned below where rdadmin needs to be opened up first to diable and re-enable the serial port, but it might be worth a try. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

[RDD] RDLibrary Auditing
I'm curious to know if there's a way to audit your library and see tracks with markers/schedule codes vs. tracks without. I'm on the appliance disc 2.8.0/CentOS.

[RDD] Segues respecting song intros...
Fellow Rivendellers, Just upgraded to RD 2.7.0 on Mint 12 (Ubuntu Oneiric) using the Tryphon/Debian packages . In all previous versions of RD, have had the following problem. Is there a setting to force RD to respect song intros when enforcing segue chains in the clock? I have every element in the library toned. Songs have intros (multiple intros, in some cases) and imaging has tones where it should fire a song and walk up an intro. The problem is, that if a song has a cold intro, (begins with a vocal) or is shorter than the duration of the imaging, RD doesn't respect the intro of the song and walks all over the vocal. Very sloppy. Example: Tone at the end of current song fires :12 second sweeper. The first :06 of the sweeper is fully produced with music or percussion so it can't play over song intro. But the last :06 is dry or only semi-produced, so the tone is set to start the next element (song) at :06. Now, let's say the song has :04 second intro. RD should calculate the difference and fire the song at :08 to hit the post without causing a train-wreck. Songs with intros the same length or longer than the next tone of an imaging element sound great!!! Now, If I could only figure out how to get Jack+Liquidsoap+Icecast with liquidsoap performing compression, limiting and multiband EQ working... DUN DUN DUN!

Re: [RDD] Rivendell-dev Digest, Vol 10, Issue 1
@Cowboy: Thanks for the tips! That will come in handy! With a name like Cowboy, there's only one way to take you! ;) @Fred: I rebuilt an old box that had SS32 on it. All new guts but I kept the ASI6114! That being said, I posed this question in an earlier email, I'm assuming Rivendell comes with the drivers for this card but does it also come with ASIControl? The reason I ask is I am running my station mono and would like to run the card in mono mode instead of building a bunch of resistive networks to knock it down. Also, I'm installing from the Appliance CD you gave me last JAN which is 1.0.0-x86_64. After installing it on other machines, it looks like RD upgrades to v.2 with updates but keeps the KDE3 and CentOS 5. I'm about to start the install now.

Re: [RDD] First Steps Document
I wasn't necessarily saying there should be more detailed info out there (although it would be nice), I was just saying I want to get my hands on as much detail as possible before doing the installation this weekend. The hardest part is the fact that this product is attractive to any and all radio station operators but can be intimidating to those that have NO Linux experience (such as myself). Reading through the solutions on the wiki and here on the list is a GREAT wealth of knowledge but some of the codes and forms of executing these tasks are Greek to us newbies. I agree with what Cowboy said regarding giving back. I'm actually documenting everything for a user review for an online community. I'm hoping I can post the notes in a public location to add to the knowledge base. I personally think the Brett Blog regarding building music schedules and logs is brilliant. I followed the steps listed and created a log on my trial laptop installation and that's what pushed me to dive in 100% and get it up and running on my community station. It's also confusing to read a solution to a problem written to Debian or Ubuntu when you've installed from the Appliance Disc which installs CentOS. Unless you're experienced in Linux, you don't really know what crosses over if anything. Not to say it can't be learned. It's just time consuming. In a situation like mine, you're trying to get it on the air ASAP so when you hit a roadblock, you have to stop and reference the list, the wiki, Google or YouTube. ...but, it's educating. I know us newbies with basic questions can weigh on the patience of those more experienced with bigger problems. That's where a lot of the give and take is in this type of list. Hence my apology for the basic questions. Luckily I have a brother-in-law that is a software engineer and I'll start hounding him with all of my basic Linux questions. Trust me, no complaints here.

You have to know the OS and even basic code with the appliance CD. I'm looking to move my library from one machine to another and can't access /var/snd to get the files. I've tried as root and still no luck. All of that is outside of the Appliance CD. Same goes for networking machines. You have to know how to navigate the OS in order to establish and/or implement some features of Rivendell. If you were just planning to load music fresh, generate logs and press play then no, knowing much about the OS is not necessary. I just learned how to use RDImport last week. What was my first mistake? Knowing what a terminal is! I was entering the command in the command utility on CentOS. So, yes, you should have a very basic understanding of the OS even with the Appliance CD. brandon sossamon On Jan 31, 2014, Cowboy wrote: Which is the basis of the Appliance CD.

Hi- I'm new to RD and new to this list. I've been trying to run RDImport for the last 4 days and consistently get the invalid group specified error. I've entered the command in countless variations. The base line command I'm using is as follows: rdimport %t%a%l MUSIC /home/rd/Desktop/musichold/*.mp3 As it's written, I'm trying to import all mp3 files from a folder on the desktop labeled musichold and place them in the MUSIC group with the title, artist and album metadata. The only time I have received a different result is when I entered the following line: rdimport --metadata-pattern='%t_%a_%l' MUSIC /home/rd/Desktop/musichold/*.mp3 This command gave me the following error: Unable to open /home/rd/Desktop/musichold/*.mp3, skipping... When I tried to repeat this, I get absolutely no reaction from the terminal. No error, no new line, no nothing. As I'm new to Linux CentOS as well, I will say the Terminal opens with [rd@localhost ~]$ already in the window. I'm assuming this is supposed to be there. Other info that may be helpful to my case: The music is being pulled off of a Windows machine via smb. I have tried both importing via the smb path as well as copying and pasting onto the desktop. Additionally the files have a '~4' within the name due to the previous automation system. The 4 being a variable number between different files.

But when you click yes, you get an error that the Rivendell Database Schema modification failed. Can anyone point me in the right direction to convert the database and get the new system online? Thank you!! Brandon ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
