Re: [RDD] Edit Markers
One more piece of information, it doesn't do this on all the programs I upload this way. Only a random one or two it seems. So I'm not sure that it's my Dropbox settings.

[RDD] Edit Markers
I am having a bit of a problem that I was hoping someone could give me pointers on. We receive .mp3, block programs, 15 minutes in length that we air via Rivendell. I am running into a problem where some of these programs are getting altered once uploaded into Rivendell. Edit Markers are getting set that are not on the original file causing the programs to cut off earlier than they are supposed to. This is somehow happening through the upload process and not by any staff here. Also, some of the file volumes are de-amplifying once uploaded to Rivendell compared to the original file. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what may be causing this?

Re: [RDD] Sound Panel
Thank you for your answer but I am not needing the fade out command for the log. I am using the sound panel to produce a live, on-air, program. For example, one button in my sound panel is bumper music for going in and out of commercial breaks. When I click the button to end the bumper, instead of letting it play completely out, it stops immediately. I am needing it to fade. Is this possible and is it in the RDAdmin settings somewhere?

[RDD] Auto restart after power failure.
I am trying to figure out how to set my Linux operating system to automically restart after a power failure and for RD Airplay to automatically open up as well. Can anyone help with this? Also, is there a command for RD Airplay to begin airing at the proper time on the log after the power failure? Thank you for any help.

I am new to Rivendell. I am trying to figure out how to generate an Air Report that shows me when things aired on a previous log. I have gone into RDAdmin/Manage Reports and have created an export path. However, when I go to Manage Reports in RDLogManager to attempt to generate a report to that path I get an error message that says it is unable to open report file in that path.
