Re: [RDD] Sound Panel

[Geoff Barkman]

If needed you can make a macro that you can put a button to on every sound
panel at the bottom or something. Just click when you want to fade out.
PT c 0, 0 0 fade 5000!
And this will put a 5000 milli second fade (5 seconds) on anything playing
on the current panel.
Many thanks
Geoff Barkman

Re: [RDD] RDAirplay Crash - Double Free Corruption

[Geoff Barkman]

The only time I ever had crashes is when I overfilled the logs. With a few
hours of spare music. Running rivendell 2.10.3 on ubuntu 14.04.

Re: [RDD] Ransonware attack

Hi Tim
Sorry to hear about this. What a way to spend the weeks leading up to
Christmas.
If you were to grab a copy of one the pieces of audio from the /var/and,
and listen to it on another program eg audacity, does it have a physical
wave form that you can see and listen to?
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Samba configuration question

[Geoff Barkman]

Samba is completely different program from rivendell. Whoever set up your
install must have set up file shares on your rivendell set up. The shares
are usually defined in the /etc/samba/smb.conf
It's a tricky file to set up and has to be edited as root user.

To view your configuration either use a terminal and type.
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
And hit enter. The relevant lines are usually at the end of that file.
Many thanks
Geoff Barkman

Re: [RDD] Spound Panel question

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Rob
I've not tried in Rivendell 3x,
But in Rivendell 2x The sound panel playout numbers refer to the first
button pushed ,,, plays out of one card... then if that button is still
active a second button push will play out of the next sound card...
Sometimes having multiple soundcard playouts can be used for crossfading
etc.
At my station we used to play the main log out of alternating soundcards...
because thats what we used to do with our old master control system. I
could see that as handy in some stations but it wasn't necessary in ours.
I hope this helps you.
Many thanks

I'm not sure about rivendell 3x versions. It works on rivendell 2x versions.
But you can add lines to you /etc/rd.conf file

Except use square brackets around the cae section.

Re: [RDD] x11vnc woes

[Geoff Barkman]

I'm wondering if having another remote desktop client installed might help
get over your problems?
There is the commercial software TeamViewer and another that I use called
dwservice.net You don't have to worry about any port forwarding through
your firewall etc. DW Service is opensour ce and free.
Even if you just remote in for a short time enough to restart the x11
service etc.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Spacebar Behavior

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Alan
This might be silly thought, but it it possible that the keyboard is
somehow creating 2 keyboard presses instead of the one intended... perhaps
a worn out or faulty keyboard? You could perhaps plug another usb keyboard
in to test out? Or fire up a text editor on the computer to see if the
spacebar pushes twice.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] RD Database transfers

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Jesse
This sounds what I'm trying todo. I've got Rivendell running on Ubuntu
14.04 with Rivendell 2.10.3... I tried importing the Database into Ubuntu
18.04 and Rivendell 3.5.

Doing the intermediate step of converting to a machine running Rivendell
2.19 sounds like a great idea. I did find a cd of the Rivendell Broadcast
Appliance... Do you know if this is Rivendell 2.19 at the rivendellaudio.org
download site
http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/appliance/broadcast_appliance-CD-1.0.0-x86_64.iso
? I'm not familiar with Centos... but I think the appliance runs Centos?
Many thanks
Geoff

[RDD] Using RDDbconfig to restore a database

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi there
I've just completed an install Rivendell v3.5.0 on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.
It seems to work well until I use Rddbconfig to import my old Rivendell
2.10.3 db schema 242 into it.
RDDbConfig Error (as superuser)
DB connection re-established
invalid SQL or failed DB connection[unknown column 'BUTTON_LABEL_TEMPLATE'
in 'RDPANEL' QMYSQL: Unable to execute query]: alter table RDPANEL modify
column BUTTON_LABEL_TEMPLATE varchar(32) default '%t'
rddbmgr: sql error: Unknown column
'BUTTON_LABEL_TEMPLATE' in 'RDPANEL' QMYSQL: Unable to execute query: alter
table RDPANEL modify column BUTTON_LABEL_TEMPLATE varchar(32) default '%t'

I can see it is a problem with the Label Template on my old rivendell
2.10.3 in rdadmin. The Label field is blank. It will let me type %t into
the template field, but doesn't seem to save it when I click ok.

Does any one know how I can fix my old db before I export it to import into
the new database.

Many Thanks
Geoff

Re: [RDD] Airplay double audio

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Tom
 I'm not familiar with your version of Rivendell Still using 2.10 here.
But I struck this caused by faulty Seque markers on a song. The seque
marker was placed 10 seconds from the start... so the rest of the song was
in constant fade after that point to the end of the songs. Generally you
get a warning if you put the seque marker too close to the start of a song.
Perhaps check the audio that played around 10.45pm give or take about 10
mins.

I hope this helps you.
Many Thanks

[RDD] Old Ubuntu Repository

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi there.
I'm not sure who is in charge of the Ubuntu/debian backup repository
https://apt.rivendell-fr.org/
But I can't seem to be able to download packages from it.
Any ideas if or where I can get required packages from?
I know its an old version of Rivendell.

Re: [RDD] Painful log generating times

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi there.
I'm not familiar with rivendell 3x versions. But on rivendell 2x versions
if the MySQL database got too big log creations took ages to create. Over
40 mb in a database slowed it down and a quick fix was to back up the DB
and run rdbcheck to speed it up.
Does that work with rivendell 3x?
Just a thought.
Many thanks
Geoff barkman

Just a thought?

Re: [RDD] RDImport

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Mark.
What format are you storing your audio files in? Mp2 or pcm wav? A way to
work out is a 3 minute audio file is 30 mb if pcm wav, whereas mp2 is about
4mb. Pcm wavs will fill your hard drive quickly.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Panel buttons, macro carts, and "toggle switch" functionality

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Keith. There is 2 ways of doing this I can think of.
1. Use the toggle on air state macro to make a red ring around the
countdown clock .
2. Use the macro to change the rduser. This means duplicating all your
hotkeys. Make the button one color on one user and another on the other user
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] FreeDB Option Greyed Out

[Geoff Barkman]

It could be that you are not in the cdrom group on the linux system. Test
this in most linux systems by holding down CTRL and ALT keys and with
another finger type T... once the terminal opens type "groups" and hit
enter.
Or alternatively your rivendell system user could have cdrom user
privileges taken away from it... log into rdadmin and check the user
privileges in there.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Running rddbcheck

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Scott.
You should always make a backup of your database. If it crashes imagine how
long it would take to recreate it.

For best results stop all your rivendell processes. You find after running
rdbcheck your backup file will get smaller.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Problem with RRAbuntu

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Dave
Just to clarify. This is the RRAbuntu downloaded from Sourceforge?
If it is from sourceforge it is close to 8 years old and uses an old
version of both Ubuntu Linux and Rivendell.

If you have another computer handy does the cd fire up and produce the
desktop and Demonstration of rivendell?

It could be the that RRAbuntu is too old and cant handle the secure boot of
the hard drive on the computer?
Many thanks
Geoff

Re: [RDD] Audio Playback Stopping

[Geoff Barkman]

Yep that was me. We had a fairly simple set up with audio stored on an 8
year old sata hard drive. We copied all the audio to another drive and no
pausing or spluttering of playback.
It's running well now and audio is mirrored to another drive daily. MySQL
backed up 3 times per week.
Many thanks

[RDD] Glitches pausing in audio

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi there.
My rivendell Ubuntu 14.04 system running rivendell 2.10.3. I know it's old.
While playing songs that have been doing the rounds for years in the
playlist has started occasionally glitches while playing music. Sometimes
for a second or two every now and then. Could this be a sign of hard drive
failure inpending? What do others think.
It's getting on 8 years old.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Network clilent audio playback problem

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi David
You've to MySQL ok. That's good.
Where is the audio files sitting that you are trying to play?
If they are only on the server, you need to be able to connect to them.
Usually nfs is a good way. Samba does sometimes work, but not recommended.
The files have to be mounted so the client can play them.
Many thanks
Geoff barkman

A few things to look at:

-For the client, make sure it has a static IP, and be sure you have
added the client in rdadmin --> Hosts

-If you are running a standard onboard (or otherwise) sound card - using
ALSA - have you set up the card in /etc/asound.conf  on the client?  You
can use rdalsaconfig for this

-Check RDAdmin --> Manage hosts --> (click on host) --> Audio adapters.
Are there any items listed under Audio Adapters?

-If you are trying to use an on-board sound card (and some inexpensive
sound cards that are not onboard also require this) you *might* need to
add your sample rate (the sample rate that Rivendell uses in rdadmin -->
System Settings) into your /etc/asound.conf - here's an example from one
of my systems:

/etc/asound.conf

# *** Start of Rivendell configuration generated by rdalsaconfig(1) ***
pcm.rd0 {
  type hw
  card 0
  device 0
rate 48000
}
ctl.rd0 {
  type hw
  card 0
}

# *** End of Rivendell configuration generated by rdalsaconfig(1) ***

Make the above addition for each of your pcm entries in /etc/asound.conf
(you will need to be root to edit this file), save your file and restart
your daemons or reboot.  Check in rdadmin --> Manage Hosts --> Audio
Adapters and see if your sound card shows up.

While in rdadmin --> Manage Hosts check each module (rdairplay,
rdlibrary, etc) and make sure your card and port is selected for the
outputs and inputs

Hopefully one of those will point you in the right direction.

[RDD] Question about macros for operating a switcher?

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi there
For several years now I have been using a set of Macro scripts to operate a
Broadcast tools switcher.
I've been using the SA (switch Add) command to choose the one I want and SR
(Switch remove) to turn off what I don't want. Would I be better off just
using ST (Switch Take) to select just what I want to simplify the input I
what and making the command 1 line only?
(Using Rivendell 2.10.3 on Ubuntu 14.04)


#!/bin/bash
rmlsend --to-host=192.168.2.105 SA\ 1\ 1\ 1\!

rmlsend --to-host=192.168.2.105 SR\ 1\ 2\ 1\!
rmlsend --to-host=192.168.2.105 SR\ 1\ 3\ 1\!
rmlsend --to-host=192.168.2.105 SR\ 1\ 4\ 1\!

Re: [RDD] Database Access Question(s)

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Alan
(Thought I'd sent this email a few days back... but I discovered it in my
drafts)

Yes you can have multiple computers accessing the rivendell database at the
same time BUT there are a few restrictions.
If you were editing logs on your machine and someone else edited the same
log on another machine... last person to click save would overide the
changes of another. this could happen if you were voice tracking and
another were just adding programs as well.
log generation should only be done on one machine at a time.
rdairplay is ok to run on multiple machines... if you add new hotkeys on
the user panels... it will appear on the other machine within a few seconds.
rd library is ok as long as you don't do stuff on the same cart etc.
I don't think there is a conclusive list of do's and don't's... sometimes
its trial an error finding out things on a test machine.

Re: [RDD] Database Access Question(s)

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Alan
How old is the Database? I ran into problems when my system had been
running 2 or 3 years. I have a cronjob set up to automaticly back up the
database every week at the same time and append the current date / time to
the filename so a sequential backup is kept.
I think I fixed it by running rddbcheck from a commandline. It fixed up the
database and let me make database back ups in the normal way using rdadmin.
Running rddbcheck shrunk the db backup sql file from 45 mb down to about 10
mb.

Here is my script and a link to my blog that hosts it.

http://geofffromdunedin.blogspot.co.nz/2010/12/automatically-backup-rivendell-database.html

NOTE If sharing created files with windows users Colons eg : cannot be in
filenames
#I suggest doing the date variable creation like this.
 currentdate=`date +%F-%H.%M.%S`
Instead of like this currentdate=`date +%F-%X`


Note
I found that sometimes the Rivendell macros crash rdairplay so I now run
from a command line the following script.


#!/bin/bash

currentdate=`date +%F-%X`

echo $currentdate

mysqldump -u rduser -pletmein --lock-tables=false Rivendell >
/home/geoff/rivendell-backup/RD-$currentdate.sql



You can set up this macro to run daily weekly or whenever.


I hope this helps you automate the process.
Many thanks
Geoff Barkman

Re: [RDD] Dropbox question

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi there.
The only way I could work this one out is to do this to have two dropbox
folders

If you put a piece of audio in one... it deletes all the existing cuts.

Then you put all the other pieces of audio into the second dropbox
folder... it then adds cut to the existing cart.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Rivendell distros

[Geoff Barkman]

Yes I'd love to get back into the RRAbuntu cd set up for rivendell. I'd had
it running with Lubuntu 14.04 and Rivendell v2.10.3. The setup was a messy
and I Never had the nice installer and Demo mode going like we did with the
original RRAbuntu on Ubuntu 10.04 (6 years old now and I think out of
support).
Frederick Henderson came up with the fancy scripts to install it.
I'm not a fan of the Ubuntu Unity interface and have looked at Ubuntu Mate
desktop but 14.04 is not an LTS release.
Remastering the Ubuntu Iso image was quite time consuming and failed
frequently.
Many Thanks

Re: [RDD] RD Appliance Install

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Forrest
Most of your problems might be tied up in using virtialbox for your demo.
You can't possibly borrow another computer? Or perhaps put an alternative
hard drive into the machine for the demo?
I'm sure they will love it if they see it in action.

Re: [RDD] Program file shortcuts

[Geoff Barkman]

I use ubuntu and it's quite similar.
First create a desktop shortcut. Sometimes you can right click on the main
menu and add to desktop.
Now fire up the file manager.
Hit ctrl H to turn on hidden files. Look near the top of your home
directory for a folder called .config (all hidden files have dot at the
start). Now double click on .config folder then go into the autostart
folder. Move your desktop shortcut into there and it will autostart on
login.
Many thanks

Hi Jamie.
What is the general health of the machine like? If seen errors like this

If you have spare ram try it. Or perhaps run memtest 86. You should be able

Re: [RDD] Porting over from V1 to V2 software.

[Geoff Barkman]

I think one thing to watch when going from v1 to v2 is rdadmin password. I
think you are best to remove password on v1 then make a backup. Once
restored on v2, you can then create a password again.

Re: [RDD] Scheduler tips?

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Tom
For those time announcements you can put them all in the one Cart and
make each Time announcement a seperate Cut you can choose up to
999 cuts inside a Cart.
Not quite enough to make time announcements for the whole day, you
would need 1440 cuts.
Each Cut, gets set up so it is only valid to play during 1 minute of
the day for your time checks. To fill up the other times have a few
generic evergreen station ids in the Cart to cover those times when
nothing else is valid to play.
Does that help you?
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Troubleshooting rdadmin, etc

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Nicholas
I'm another Ubuntu fan except I use Lubuntu with its different desktop.

2 problems you might be having is group membership.

Just after you install and before you try to run rdadmin. Run these 2
commands in a terminal...
sudo adduser $USER rivendell
and
sudo adduser $USER audio

Also check in the /etc/rd.conf file that the line saying
AudioOwner=USERNAME is correct.
Now log out or reboot the machine. Then try starting rdadmin. You
might also want to check ownership of the /var/snd directory is
correct.

I hope this helps you.
Many thanks

Re: [RDD] Max size of importing audio

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Alessio
I don't usually import audio longer than an hour, but had similar
Audio Conversion errors.

I think I solved this problem with increasing the Apache Time Out
length in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file. Ubuntu  not sure where
other linuxes store it.
Look for the line Timeout 300 and change it to Timeout 3000

1.2 gig for 2 hour audio files, sounds like a pcm wave file. I think
there is a limit of 4 gig on one of those files... my head hurts
trying to work out how long that is.
Many thanks

 I suspect the reason is because the /tmp (or the ram?) is getting full or
 something like that. However on the / there are more than 25GB available so
 I cannot figure out where it gets stuck.

 Splitting that in two solves the problem but I'd like to understand it

[RDD] Possible Problem with Seque importing?

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi There
Using Lubuntu 14.04 and Typhon Repositories
Rivendell v 2.10.3

I've been importing music using a command line option to import songs
in a given directory using the syntax.
rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 MUSICGROUPNAME *.mp3

It seems to be putting the fade point at the start of the fade down
instead of halfway down where it should be placed that is when the
music level drops by 10 db. Am I doing something wrong or has the way
of deciding when to fade changed? Should I change -10 to some other
value.

It used to work alright in versions before v 2.10.3 of Rivendell.
Can anyone else confirm this problem ... or am I imagining it?

 Most other Broadcasters have different length news files but out

Re: [RDD] Table Rivendell.VERSION doesn't exist

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Nicholas
You installed Rivendell using the Tryphon repositories. After
installing it, did you fired up rdadmin? This usually creates all the
necessary Rivendell Database and tables for the database.

 If you forgot to start rdadmin but instead manually created a
rivendell data base using mysql admin or some other mysql database
manipulation program. You probably just have to delete the database
that you made and then fire up rdadmin and let rdadmin create the
Database and tables itself.
If I read your email correctly it looks to me like you made the
database yourself... instead of rdadmin.

Once the database is correctly made you can also do a database restore
from another Rivendell Database if you have one from another machine.
I'm not sure if this is your first machine or you have another set up
of rivendell.

Many thanks

  If it ramps, then I wonder if the audio card is set to feed back on

  And of course Ubuntu adds the Pulse Audio layer by default which is
  another place where things can go wrong.

Re: [RDD] Networking with RRAbuntu 10.04

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Ryan
You have your network machines all with Static ips?

The default install of Mysql locks in mysql so only the localhost
machine 127.0.0.1
can connect to the database.

If you open the file called /etc/mysql/my.cnf
And look for a line in it saying bind-address   = 127.0.0.1
and change it to bind-address   = 0.0.0.0

Then you open mysql-admin on the server machine and add the
rdu...@ipnumber.of.client.machines

If you intend to share the music library between the machines you'll
have to use nfs to share the audio library.

Unfortunately the RRAbuntu 10.04 is quite an old version of Rivendell
with version 1.71 of Rd and I think you have to use pcm wave file for
your audio library which takes lots of file storage space.

I think the file importing from a dropbox is working well now.
I increased the apache time out value from 300 to 3000 and some test
imports have worked well. I presume 300 = 300 seconds = ten minutes
and 3000 = 3000 seconds = 100 minutes and when you consider it only
took about 10 to 15 mins to import the 52 minute audio files  it
didn't miss out by much time.

 I solved it by saving as 320k mp3 and hadn't struck the problem
 since. I wonder if an option would be for a dropbox to wait a few mins
 before it started importing? Perhaps a checkbox or an ability to wait
 x number of minutes before it started importing?

 30 seconds is usually enough, although it's easy to change the value in my
 script. It runs at the top of each minute, checking all subfolders of
 /home/scott/import except bad, which is where invalid files end up, and
 any other subfolders listed in an exceptions list.

 If a previous instance of the script is already running the new one
 immediately terminates.

 The script will run rdimport on any files with a .wav suffix. Anything
 else gets moved to 'bad, along with any file that fails to import.

difference is I can see is the size of his database (20 thousand)...
double the number of songs... whereas mine only has 10 thousand
and mine is a database that is over 7 years old and its migrated
up through versions up to its present v 2.9.3.
Whereas his database is only 6 months old... and I think started at
about v 2.8.1 and migrated upto the prersent v 2.9.3
Its so strange Hopefully the apache fix will do it.
Many thanks

 Hi,
 not sure if it solves the problem.. We don't use dropboxes, our
 problem was that long tracks (like pre-recorded entire shows) give
 error when imported. Anyway track is present in terms of wav file and
 database audio length.
 So I checked the log but I will try to tweak on that the next days.
 Anyway you can experiment a bit on the field by tweaking Apache
 configuration file. In case you constate that it fix that behaviour
 please share that with us.
 We use Debian 7 (so Apache is 2.2, while yours probably is 2.4) so
 there may be difference in behaviour.
 Anyway you can find Apache config file in
 /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and there is a timeout value, which is 300
 by default I think.
 More info here:
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_reqtimeout.html (for
 current apache version).

 I'd
 imagine a 52minute mp3 would take some time to import and apache's

Re: [RDD] Importing files from a Rivendell Dropbox

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Rob
Thats interesting about the files importing before they are finished
copying. I struck that a few years back when copying pcm wave files
into dropboxes... I assumed the network was too slow... so I assumed.
I solved it by saving as 320k mp3 and hadn't struck the problem
since. I wonder if an option would be for a dropbox to wait a few mins
before it started importing? Perhaps a checkbox or an ability to wait
x number of minutes before it started importing?

You mentioned that you had a script that imported audio and got rid of
junk files eg adobe pk files... Is it possible to see a copy of that
script? it might be something I can adapt to my situation?

Many thanks
Geoff Barkman

 I have encountered two problems using dropboxes. One is the well
 documented Apache timeout problem; but also, large files copied from a
 Windows machine into a dropbox may get imported before they're finished
 copying, resulting in a truncated Rivendell file.

 To avoid this second problem, I don't use dropboxes, but run a cron job to
 look for files to import; it checks the last modified time, and if it's
 more than 30 seconds ago, it assumes the file is complete and runs
 rdimport on it. Files that fail to import are copied to a bad folder,
 which usually fills up with Adobe Audition .pk files and other junk.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell Not Recognizing Macros Commands

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Ryan
There is a graphical program to send commands to your Rivendell machine.
In a terminal type rmlsend
One the box opens up type in the Send To field localhost or the
ipnumber of your machine.
Try a command like LB Hello World!
and see if a message appears in the message field on rdairplay. Make
sure rdairplay is open before you do it.
It is possible that something is blocking port 3306 that rml commands
get sent on.
I hope this helps

Re: [RDD] Sound card question

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Jason
I think most m-audio cards should work.
Ubuntu will probably know your sound card is there.
In a terminal type this.
cat /proc/asound/modules

Sound Cards start at 0 and a second card would be card 1 etc

You should get all your cards listed.
If the m-audio shows up there.
You might have to add lines for the second card in the /etc/asound.conf file.
for example...
pcm.rd1 {
  type hw
  card 1
}
ctl.rd1 {
  type hw
  card 1
}

Now Ubuntu has a reputation for swapping cards around on subsequent
reboots. So you may need to hard code in sound card values into the
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file. We can help you set that up if
needed.

I hope this helps you.
Many Thanks
Geoff Barkman

Re: [RDD] Sound card question

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Lorne
I've been using Lubuntu 14.04 and haven't had any problems with Pulse
audio and Rivendell 2.93 on it. I've found the Lxde desktop seems to
run well with rivendell. No annoying unity desktop... so it runs fast.
I've tried remastering it to make a new RRAbuntu live cd but thats a
wee way off coming to fruition. Lots of scripts needed to automate the
set up.

Having to log out to add the user to the rivendell and audio groups is
a bit of a pain. But its a spare time project so I might get time over
my christmas/summer break in December January this year. (I live in
southern hemisphere).

Many thanks

 To further what Goeff said...

 I run Ubuntu 10.04 and yes - it does like swapping around sound cards.
 PCI can be hard coded, but with USB - even hard coded - I've found that
 it'll still from time to time swap around the values for no reason that
 I can find.  Most of the time it works as expected, but every so often
 it doesn't.  As a result I've just taken the view of avoiding USB audio
 cards for all but basic consumer use.

 The other thing with Ubuntu - by default it has PulseAudio installed and
 enabled.  Unless you have a reason to keep it around (in which case, you
 can jump through some hoops to make it work with JackAudio) then disable
 the thing - it'll only cause you grief (and if it is using your audio
 card(s), that may be why you can't get audio to play)

 To learn how to kill it, have a look at:

Re: [RDD] Command to check rdairplay quit?

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Bernardo
You could try looking at the main system log by using the tail
command. For example...
In a terminal.. type the following line.

tail /var/log/syslog

See if that give you any clues. You could try adding -100 to the
command to display the last 100 lines of information.
tail -100 /var/log/syslog

Do this as soon as you discover the error. Because rdairplay creates
about 10 or more lines in the log file every time a song or advert etc
plays and transitions to the next event.
Many thanks

You can probably prove this by the first item on Saturday playing by the

[RDD] Checking if rdairplay is running

[Geoff Barkman]

I was having a few problems with rdairplay crashing randomly and
leaving silence on air. I made a script to check if it is running and
restart if neccessary and delete the rdairplaylock file.
I hope someone finds this usefull.

 I think someone wrote something similar a while back using a while
loop or something.
You could run it periodically using crontab if you wished?

 When you save this file dont include the word rdairplay as part of
the file name or else the running of this script will show up as an
rdairplay  process on your system. I called my script checkrdair.sh
... but you can choose a name that suits you.

#!/bin/bash

# This returns a value of 0 (if not running) or 1 (if rdairplay running)
statusrdairplay=`ps x | grep -v grep | grep -c rdairplay`

echo $statusrdairplay

if [ $statusrdairplay = 1 ]; then
echo rdairplay is running
else

# Remove rdlockfile Change the path to the rdairplaylock file on your set up.
rm /home/geoff2/.rdairplaylock

# Start rdairplay
/usr/bin/rdairplay 

#Pause for 10 seconds to give rdairplay time to start up prior the

Linux mint doesn't store the apt-get sources in the

 If you don't see any tryphon references in the apt-get output, it seems

Re: [RDD] Upgrading from rrbuntu to appliance v2

 Hi,

 It looks like this is either a bug in RDLogManager or there is something

Re: [RDD] Btools ACS 8.2 Plus with RD

Hi There
We have one of these switchers to switch our station output from
computer direct on air or via the studio desk... or a net radio
receiver. The trouble is the stream goes off line from time to time
and we have silence during the night.
Is it possible to get the Broadcast Tools switcher to put the computer

detection)?
Many thanks

 Under Edit TTY's, for entry Serial0, I have /dev/ttyS0 in the TTY

 Than just selected Serial0 under the Edit Switcher section for the BT ACS

 Assuming you are actually sending strings out of your serial port (perhaps
 need to test with a PC on the other end):


 Note that there are some different modes the BT switcher can be in. Perhaps
 is this NOT a factory new device? if so note that you can optionally hang
 several of these things on a single serial line if you enable a special
 addressing mode. When enabled you then have to specify the address of the
 unit you want to talk to on the front of each command. You may need to make
 sure your switcher is NOT in this mode as I'm thinking Rivendell doesn't
 support this.


 Also you will find you need to put the switcher into the non-factory-default
 of Mix Mode for it to switch correctly.


 If in doubt plug the BT switcher into a PC running a serial terminal program
 you are familiar with and send some raw commands yourself and see what
 happens. There is a little program called minicom available on Linux, but
 unsure if it is included with the Appliance, if not maybe you can install it
 with yum.

Re: [RDD] rdairplay pausing/MySQL issue?

[Geoff Barkman]

How old is your database? If it is several years old, it might be time to
run rddbcheck. Make a backup copy of your database first.
My MySQL dump of my database was 40 meg when running Rivendell 1.72 and
when I upgraded to rivendell 2.x.x it jumped to 80 meg.
The rddbcheck cleans out old stuff and fixes the database. You need to stop
all your rivendell processes to do.

 What I am observing is that rdairplay on the first machine (but not the
 second, where /var/snd and the database reside) will occasionally pause for
 several seconds while the audio continues to play. At the end of the cut,
 however, there will be a pause before the next cut starts.

 I've never seen this behavior before; if there were droputs in playback,
 I'd suspect a network problem, but in this case ecah cut will play in its
 entirety, even though rdairplay may pause in the middle of the cut, and
 there will be a delay of some seconds before the next cut starts.

 I'm guessing this is a MySQL issue. Are there parameters I should try
 tuning in my.cnf? If so, on which machine? The machine exhibiting the
 pauses is not the one hosting the database.

 Thanks all.

Re: [RDD] RDAirPlay Issue

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Todd
I'm not sure if you are are new to  rivendell or this is an install that
has been going for ages. Generally this sort of behavior comes from missing
audio or the permissions are wrong on your audio.
Missing audio. Check that the piece of audio exists in /var/snd directory.
Permissions.  Check the ownership of all your audio in your /var/snd using
the command ls -l /var/snd
The audio should belong to the user that runs rivendell and the group
should be rivendell.
I hope this helps.

Re: [RDD] Golden Hour Feature with Rivendell Scheduler?

Hi Marc
I do a similar thing on a Saturday night... I made some sound codes
for live recordings of songs. And have different clocks for my
Saturday evening programming... the clocks have different events the
pull up Live recordings out of my music category... give a sort of
live feel to the show on a saturday evening.

I guess with your situation when songs are added to your system... tag
a date sound code to it... and when you are happy with having enough
in that category of years... start making clocks... and swapping them
in and out of your grids in rdlogmanager.

I think manually building logs is very tedius... Sound codes would
take a while to set up... but save you time in the long run.

Re: [RDD] Guide to installing RD on Ubuntu 12.04

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Andy
I'm pleased that you are finding RRAbuntu handy. The version that you
are using was made about 2010. I used Ubuntu Customization Kit (UCK)
to create it. With some very cleaver scripting by Frederick Henderson
we created it. I have tried several times to recreate RRAbuntu on
later versions for Ubuntu... but have become frustrated by the new
unity interface. I have been experimenting with my new desktop of
choice Linux Mint but have been unable to get the remastering to work.

Transitioning from Rivendell 1.7.x series to Rivendell 2.x.x can be
quite tricky. If you have Changed the admin user password on 1.7.x
versions of Rivendell you need to change to no password or you might
get locked out of your system.

I think someone might have made some more comprehensive notes about
the transition... It might even be in the main Rivendell Docs.

Many thanks
Geoff Barkman

 I just wanted to say well done for a good clear instructional post about how

 technical jargon. I just need things I use to work straight out of the box,
 which is one reason I use RRAbuntu for a weekly live radio show on Sheffield
 Live.

 I know there are more recent versions of Rivendell available than the one on
 RRAbuntu, but I've never been told of any benefit in updating, so have never
 bothered. And to be honest I probably still won't update until there is a
 new RRAbuntu that I can just load onto a memory stick and load over the top
 of the old OS.

 I think the thing that puts a lot of people off using Linux is the fact it's
 so complicated with having to do so much in Terminal. It's a bit like
 learning MS DOS was 20 years ago. So I'm definitely interested in anything
 that makes things easier and quicker to install. The main thing about any
 new RRAbuntu is that it would need to come with the ability to keep all the
 data (music library etc) from the version it replaces on any given machine.
 The installation should also be a GUI.

 As a current RRAbuntu user, those are my thoughts.

 Keep up the good work!

We had a situation in our studio when we still broadcast on AM and
mono when we had an audio lead that program makers could plug their
Ipod or laptop in and play audio. it sounded ok in the studio speakers
but when broadcast on AM... it sounded hollow with the middle channel
missing.  After lots of checking... I found that the XLR plug on the
desk had been wired wrong by a previous employee (Hot and cold wires
swapped on one plug) ... turning the channel upside down... and
getting nullified when being broadcast. Sound improved when the fault
was discovered and fixed.

Re: [RDD] Moving Library From Machine to Another

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Brandon
The music library is the easiest part to duplicate. Are the computer or
host names the same or are they different? If the are different you will
need to go into rdadmin on your original machine and create the new host
name. Now once that is done you back up the database in rdadmin. This backs
up the MySQL database.
Now copy the audio from /var/snd over to the new machine to the same
directory. You'll have to check the permissions on the audio. Then you log
into rdadmin on the new machine and restore the database.
All your music should be in the new rdlibrary with all the relevant markers
etc.
I'm not sure exactly what aspects of your old system that you don't want
but I'm assuming its clocks and grids etc. If that is it you may might want
to make a new service in rdadmin. Don't put spaces in the service name. It
can be a problem later.
Duplicating the library will keep the play count numbers. They won't be
zeroed.
Let us know how you go.
Many thanks

 Hi all,
 You will have to forgive me I am sure I read this somewhere in part of a
 post but can't seem to find it anymore. That or I had a dream about this
 mailing list and it never has actually been answered.

 I have a set up that contains 4 sound cards, two identical creative sound
 blasters that play out the main log in order. A digital USB connection to
 mixer for Rivendell cue or sound panel play out. And an onboard sound card
 which is set up to handle external sounds to Rivendell (allows for VoIP
 soft phone and audacity editing whilst using Rivendell)
 I'm running Linux mint with kde and all sound cards go through Alsa.
 However the problemo I have is that each time I reset the computer sound
 cards change order so rdalsaconfig goes all funky.
 What's the easiest way to somehow lock sound card positions so that sound
 card 0 will always be say creative blaster channel 1, etc?

 Thanks in advance!
 Matthew Mangan

Re: [RDD] Rivendell over SSH

[Geoff Barkman]

Well done ales so with your tunneling.
I use an Ubuntu program called gstm to tunnel to save using the command
line. You can save connections to make them easy to reuse
Many thanks

 Hi there,
 yesterday I succeeded in tunneling Rivendell over an SSH gateway. From my
 house, with my laptop I played *locally* music which is stored inside
 university...
 Here's the configuration:
 HOMESSH GatewayRiv. Server
 For the moment I just tunneled MySQL traffic (-L 3306:server:3306) and NFS
 mount (which needed two more bindings).
 From the Rivendell point oh view I created a new host in RDAdmin and
 that's it.
 I am pretty happy because even though audio is stored in plain wave format
 I was able to play with minimal latency..
 Anyway I noticed some error in terminal - launching rdlibrary - but it
 works. I still need to test import/export tasks (I will use local apache
 server).
 In your opinion is there anything more I need to tunnel in order to setup
 Rivendell properly?
 I know it is not a secure behaviour but it's been just an experiment.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell on Debian Sid... import problem

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Alessio
Are you sure that you want to run Rivendell on Debian Sid? Sid is
generally the Testing version of Debian and can produce interesting
results with any software.
If you were planning in implementing Rivendell at your station a
Stable version would be a best bet.
All the best
Geoff Barkman

 Just to add info: deleting is ok (apache works)... only import is the

 2013/10/30 Alessio Elmi alessio_e...@hotmail.com

 Hi everybody,
 anyone has tried Rivendell on Debian Sid? I tried even using Tryphon .deb
 and compiling it by myself.
 It seems that compiling is better... Even though I can't import files...
 The strange thing is that rdimport --verbose MUSIC ../../file.wav says
 ...done. From its point of view everything is ok, but:
 - I don't have audio in /var/snd
 - Entries in RDLibrary say 00:00 duration (red).
 Permissions on /var/snd are 777 (only for debug purpose) but it can't
 import properly.
 As rdimport says ...done I was thinking a multimedia decoding problem.
 Could it be?
 Do you have any test to do in order to investigate better the problem?

 Thank you

 Alessio

Re: [RDD] caed finds MAD and TwoLAME, but rdimport cannot import mp2 or mp3 files ( Audio Converter Error: Unsupported Format )

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Fred
According to synaptic (an Ubuntu package manager)
mp3val is a program for MPEG audio stream validation.

MP3val is a small, high-speed tool for MPEG audio files validation
and (optionally) fixing problems.

It was primarily designed for verification of MPEG 1 Layer III (MP3)
files, but supports also other MPEG versions and layers.

It can be useful for finding corrupted files (e.g. incompletely
downloaded).


And thats what Synaptic says...
Many Thanks
Geoff Barkman

 Just to test if mp3val was actually the critical piece here, I removed
 mp3val using dpkg, and did a make clean  make  sudo make install to
 see if mp3 imports would no longer work. It still works, I can still
 import mp3 files. So, I'm not sure what fixed it, but I can't complain.

 I'd be interested in understanding exactly what happened here too.  When
 caed(8) starts, we attempt to dlopen() each of the MPEG libraries (Libmad,
 TwoLAME, LAME); if the dlopen() succeeds, we conclude that the corresponding
 capability is available (and report such to syslog(3)) and then do a dlsym()
 call for each of the required library functions.  If, for whatever unusual
 reason (version skew?) an expected symbol doesn't exist in a given library,
 the result should be a segfault in caed(8) when attempting to utilize that
 function.  Under normal circumstances, there should be no failure mode that
 would explain the appearances observed by Nate (dlopen() succeeds, but the
 converter routines report 'Unsupported Format'.

 In light of the fact that a complete rebuild of the source tree without
 'mp3val' still results in a fully working system, it seems safe to conclude
 that the original build was somehow corrupt.  How exactly that happened and
 if the somewhat mysterious 'mp3val' package played a part in it remains
 cloudy.  Would any Debian gurus here care to describe exactly what 'mp3val'
 provides?  There is no corresponding package in the Fedora/RedHat distro
 family.

 Cheers!

Re: [RDD] New instalation, nicer issues...

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Pedro
Yes the cd issue
The /dev/cdrom is a mount point that can vary between Linux OS's and
versions of Os's
I have mine set in rdadmin  Rdlibrary config to /dev/scd0 (Ubuntu 10.04)

You could look in your /dev directory to see what devices are in
there but there could be a few devices for you to look through.
I hope this helps.
Many thanks

 To get a 192kbps bitrate, the Rdlibrary is set to 96kbps. Nice offset :-)
 The sample rate is stuck on the 48kbps...

 Hints for the cd issue. Any?

 From memory, the test tone didn't work for me either.  But your imported
 audio can be played which indicates your set up is correct.

Re: [RDD] My Recent Problems with a New Install

[Geoff Barkman]

Hi Kevin
I presume this is just one machine or is it a networked installation.
What linux version are you using? (I've put some comments further down
in the email)

 Hi Guys,



 I have built a new Rivendell box for the local Primary Schools radio
 station
 just over a month ago and all was working well. It's due to go into service
 in 2 weeks time.

 But yesterday, after finally getting some free time to work on it I ran
 across a few problems.




 1.  From the Library, opening a music cart. Then I go into the cut, and
 I am wanting to edit the cut. When I press the Edit Markers button I get
 the following error message. Unable to download peak data, error was:
 RDXport service returned an error. The Edit window does open after I
 press
 the ok button on the popup window, however there is no wave form (actually
 nothing) showing. I can press the play button and can hear the cart.

I've struct this when the database library (rdlibrary) has the
filenames listed... but the audio is missing from /var/snd or where
ever you are storing it. What audio type have you defined in rdadmin
for that machine pcm wave or mp2? Sometimes it gets confused if you
have it as one type and the database thinks its the other.



 2.  Generating a log, I have a made all my clocks and edited my days
 with the clocks I want,  but when I go to generate a log I get an immediate
 message window saying No Exceptions Found and no log generated.

In rdadmin  Manage Services  Edit Services
Have you defined a Log Template Name in there?
Usually something like %Y_%m_%d
and I also tick the box insert log chain to at log end.





 And just in finishing I have decided to put a larger hard-drive in the
 system for the music. Could one of you Linux guru's please advise what is
 the best way to copy all the data from the 2nd drive already in there to
 the
 new one, so I can just do a swap over?

 Also on the subject of hard-drives, I have used a USB H/D hub and plugged
 the new Hard-drive into it, but the Linux box does not see the external
 unit
 and drive. I know the USB port is working because I can plug a USB stick in
 and it starts up.
Does it work if you plug the USB hard drive straight into the
computer... bypassing the USB hub? I think in some cases.. there is
limits on how long usb cables can be... more than 3 or 4 metres... it
either gets slow or doesn't work at all.

Many Thanks
Geoff

 Kevin.

Re: [RDD] Timings

[Geoff Barkman]

I use rdlogmanager to create logs from the commandline.
My work station takes about 4 minutes to make each days log but the home
station takes about 40 minutes to make each log. I guess it comes down to
the number of rules and size of the mysql database for the system.
Main differences I see is Work station is only half a day because BBC
satelite runs over night... and under 10 thousand items of music ...
whereas home station runs 24/7 music with close to 15 thousand items in the
database.
Many thanks
Geoff Barkman

 1.5 hours would be in the normal range. We run log generation from a shell
