Re: [RDD] odd occurrence with RDCatch

[Jesse Jones]

note to self: see what is there, not what you think you see...
   That was it!  I checked the usual user - all ok, but when I checked
the *default
user *["user'}] the permissions were blank.  Checking the permissions for
the *default user* restored the rdcatch functions.
   The user displayed in RDAirPlay is KQMJ so I thought that would govern
all - but that must not always be the case.

Thank you!

Re: [RDD] odd occurrence with RDCatch

[Jesse Jones]

No warning messages.
starting rdadmin in the terminal brings up the GUI, and all works as
expected.  There is no warnings in rdairplay - it goes straight into the
setup menu gui. RDAirplay is running well, too.
Only rdcatch seems to be involved.

[RDD] odd occurrence with RDCatch

[Jesse Jones]

   Is there a way to get RDCatch to add events when the add button is grey?
   We are setting up a Rivendell 3.6.5 Appliance using the /var/snd and the
database from an older 2.5 machine.  We cp'd the audio files and the
database to the new host (which has the same hostname) which has worked for
the most part, and updated the DB Schema to 347. The other modules seem to
work ok. but now, when I try to edit the RDCatch to add some events the
buttons at the bottom are grey.  It will not add, or edit or delete.
   Since the transfer there have been numerous reboots, and even a couple
of "systemctl start rivendell" commands but to no avail - plus I don't seem
to find the man page for RDCatch (I guess its because it's a daemon and not
an application).
   So is there a way to reset/restart/activate RDCatch from the CLI or the
Admin Application (I looked and did not find)? Or some other way?

[RDD] Cut names in dropboxes

[Jesse Jones]

I am setting up several new workstations in RD 3.6.1 / the appliance / on
CentOS 7.  In the dropboxes, as opposed to the importing dialog boxes, the
RDLibrary doesn't seem to pick up the MP3 tag metadata in the names of
individual cuts.

The specifics:  I have multiple network barter commercials to import into a
single cart to run in equal rotation.  These change out each week,
sometimes with 8 cuts, sometimes 10, sometimes more.  Traffic will only
specify them on the log by the single cart number (102065).  Each of the
commercials is titled with their ISCI number in the format ND_$$###.MPS
with the ISCI repeated in the title slot of the ID3.2.3 MP3tag.

The multiple cuts are dumped via sftp in bulk to the dropbox set up for
that purpose.  Cuts are not deleted in the cart, but are deleted in the
dropbox folder after import.

When imported by a human cut by cut the metadata is picked up and used as
the cut name.  But when the dropboxes are utilized the metadata is lost.

I don't see a checkbox in the dropbox to import metadata (as is in the
dialog box).  Did I miss a step here?  Is there a cli command to get the
dropboxes to accept the MP3tag metadata as the title of the cut?

[RDD] Trouble with drop boxes

[Jesse Jones]

This is Rivendell Appliance 3.5.0

I wish to use the drop boxes to import syndicated voice tracks which have
the format: thu_AB_h01s01.mp3, thu_AB_h01s01.mp3.1, thu_AB_h01s02.mp3,
thu_h01s02.mp3.1, etc., each day only the day of week varies as mon, tue,
etc.  The tracks are downloaded into /var/adambomb/ each day.

In the dropbox section of RDAdmin, I specify group as VOICETRACK; Path Spec
as  /var/adambomb/*.mp3; Delete cuts before importing is selected; Metadata
Pattern is %ddd_AB_h01s01; and delete the source file when completed is
selected.

Unfortunately, that isn't working.  I have other boxes that do work but
they don't vary the prefix but use a date suffix.

What am I overlooking here?

[RDD] RDAdmin will not start

[Jesse Jones]

Version 2.19 on CentOS7
History

Something went wrong in restoring a copied database through RDAdmin - the
gui "flashed" and now the GUI for RDAdmin refuses to open - so I can't even
roll it back to a previous version.

When I invoked RDAdmin as root in the command line - I get multiple lines
of:
invalid SQL or failed DB connection[Table 'Rivendell.VERSION' doesn't exist
QMYSQL3: Unable to execute query]: select DB from VERSION

I am nonconversant with mySQL mechanics so I need neophyte instructions on
how to get this ON AIR machine back on line.  The CentOS is working - only
Rivendell is down.

So how do I get RDAdmin back on the job?

[RDD] Rivendell 3.5 Dropbox Syntax

[Jesse Jones]

   I have been flopping around like a fish out of water trying to get a
series of syndicated voice tracks to import through the dropboxes in
Rivendell 3.5.  I have them automatically download to /var/programname via
wget in RDCatch.
They come in the format of TST_04-05-21_001.mp3
TST_04-05-21_002.mp3
TST_04-05-21_003.mp3
etc for a total of 20 cuts.  As you would expect the portion between
underscores corresponds with the date and changes daily.
I want each voice track cut to go to specific carts 31 through 300020
corresponding with their "cut number" at the end.
   I now know gazillion ways it won't work - but I am just not able to get
the syntax right.
   I have been asking the dropboxes (one per cut) to import from
"/var/programname/* and other variations, including
"/var/programname/TST-**-**-**_001.mp3" etc and using every meta data
pattern I could think of but to no avail.  Obviously I haven't thought of
the right one.  I have been using group "voicetracks".
   So do any of you have thoughts on how to get this set of voice tracks to
load up through the dropboxes?
   Also, I haven't found the error logs for these dropboxes.  Not in
rsyslog or journalctl or in /var/log/rivendell.  Where should I look next?

Re: [RDD] How to a bash script from a macro cart

[Jesse Jones]

Thanks yall - it's working!

What I Have Learned

In /etc/rd.conf the Audio Owner and the RnRmlOwner need to be "rd" or the
linux user of the Rivendell automation
---and---
The syntax of the RN line needs to include the ./ at the beginning of the
path to the script
---and---
The script needs to be written in a non-windows host.  Most of the failed
attempts were actually failing because the Windows 10 Notepad used
different linefeed and carriage returns so that the bash interpretor in
CentOS 7 was looking for commands in a non-existant bin^M directory.  It
only made a difference because RML "RN" is actually /bin/sh -c.  The -c
asks for an internal shell command differently from the /bin/sh without the
-c.  #!/bin/bash written in Windows is not the same as #!/bin/bash written
in CentOS 7.

Thanks to Octavio, Drew, and Mike who each put key parts of the puzzle
together.

Re: [RDD] How to a bash script from a macro cart

[Jesse Jones]

The Goal is to run bash scripts from inside macrocarts using RDCatch to do
such things as run a backup of the database and do rsync between the "On
Air" machine and a "warm standby" plus other "odd jobs".
The script(s) run from terminal using /bin/sh script.sh but not in the
macro "RN script.sh!

I tried to "edit the RML user" in /etc/rd.conf to both "rd" and "rduser"
but "rd" did not work and "rduser" asks for a password immediately after I
change the entry (whether I edit as root or as sudo rd).  So I am missing
something here.

I have tried to chown the script but users "rivendell" and "rduser" won't
chown.

How do I get the bash script to run from inside a macro cart?


At the top of the RDAirPlay is:
RDAirPlay v3.5.0 -Host:test User:rduser Log:TEST Service:OnAir

In /etc/rd.conf I had (before edit attempts):
[Identity]
; These entries are used to define the system user and group that will
; own the audio files.
AudioOwner=rivendell
AudioGroup=rivendell

; These entries are used to define the system user and group that commands
; executed by the 'Run Shell Command' ['RN'] RML will run under.
RnRmlOwner=rivendell
RnRmlGroup=rivendell

[mySQL]
; The connection parameters for the MySQL server.
Hostname=localhost
Loginname=rduser
Password=***
Database=Rivendell
Driver=QMYSQL3

and the script I want to work from inside the macro is in /bin/ (ls -l):
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 rd   rivendell  161 Feb  6 20:51 databasescript.sh

It was originally:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root   root  161 Feb  6 20:51 databasescript.sh

[RDD] How to a bash script from a macro cart

[Jesse Jones]

   I am sure I am making this harder than it has to be - but I am having
trouble running a bash SCRIPT from inside a macro cart.  I had hoped to use
RDCatch to run the script.
   The script is executable via CLI/terminal using the line /bin/sh
script.sh so I have the permissions ok and all that.  But when I run the
macro RN script.sh! it fails.  The full path to the script is
/bin/script.sh.
   I read all you folk running these scripts but I can't seem to get my
Rivendell 3.5 (appliance on CentOS 7) to follow suit.  By the way - I have
found that percussive maintenance and cussive recitations haven't worked
either.
   Would someone please enlighten me on the secret to running bash from the
macro cart?

[RDD] RD Database transfers

[Jesse Jones]

Angela, I found a similar problem trying to move from Rivendell 2.5 (Schema
242) up to RD3.5 in that the the new machine thought the old database was
corrupted and would not convert it.  I still haven't been told how to
repair that original database - but I have found a workaround that worked
for me.
I ran the original database through a Rivendell 2.19 which used schema 272
or so but was on CentOS 7 - and it converted just fine there - then
restored that database in the new RD3.5 which took about 10 minutes but
works great.
Of course, with the CentOS shutdown I have not been able to "yum update
rivendell" on any of my RD2.5/CentOS 6 machines so I was just lucky I had
the RD2.19/CentOS7 machine (which has other issues).
If you can get your hands in a RD2,19/CentOS 7 machine and use it as an
intermediate I bet you can use that older DB,

I still have not heard from anyone about how to repair/rework/update these
old RELIABLE databases.  However, I have found the RD3.5 to be a sweet
machine and worth the gyrations for the upgrade.  Maybe someone will come
up with something like RDDBCheck to do this stuff for Rivendell 3.

[RDD] RDDBConfig Error

[Jesse Jones]

I have a major kink I need help working out in the migration of DB222 to
DB342 - and I am in WAY WAY WAY over my head in this.

The error message:
RDDbConfig Error

DBconnection re-established
invalid SQL or failed DB connection [Duplicate column name 'CONDUCTOR'
QMYSQL: Unable to execute query]; alter table CART add column CONDUCTOR
char(64) after LABEL rddbmgr: sql error: Duplicate column name 'CONDUCTOR'
QMYSQL; Unable to execute query query:alter table CART add column CONDUCTOR
char(64) after LABEL

This database was "backed up" in Rivendell 2.5 (schema 222 apparently) and
the wav files were copied to a USB drive as well as the file.sql file.
Then. I "restored" the database, and had the RDDbConfig manager convert it
(clicked yes).  That's about all I know.  In fact, the inner workings of
Maria are like quantum mechanics to me - so any elementary guidance would
be appreciated.  Do I need to get an app/program/package to open this up
for brain surgery?  Is there really a flaw in the original data base (now
100 miles away)?

[RDD] RDLibrary broken

[Jesse Jones]

Rivendell 3.5 on CentOS7 minimal (The Appliance)

"New Install" - Cannot edit carts in RDLibrary.  RDLibrary lists the carts
and RDAirPlay will play the carts, RDLibrary will import audio, but you
cannot edit the markers or the start/stop dates - RDLibrary "hangs" when
you click on the buttons in Edit.  When you try to Close or use the "X"
button you get a message that the application is busy.  This is true for
carts added manually to RDLibrary as well as imported.

The database was imported from a Rivendell 2.5 under CentOS6 Appliance by
cp /var/snd/*.* into the /var/snd/ of the RD3.5 unit and also copying the
original database backup file to the RD3.5 unit then restoring the database
using RDDBConfig.  When prompted, I opted to let it update the database to
the current schema.

What is the best course of action to fix RDLibrary Edit functions?  Can the
database be salvaged?  (The original database is still available for now.)

Re: [RDD] Install Problems with the Appliance

[Jesse Jones]

   Using the instructions at the Paravel web site "Installing Rivendell 3
on a CentOS-7 System, by Fred Gleason - which I have used for several
installs over the year successfully - I have installed a new CemtOS 7.7
which went well, and have begun to load the appliance itself.  I have
successfully loaded the Paravel Repo and saved the key from
download.paravelsystems.com 130.100.3.001:80... which was saved in
/etc/pki/rpm -gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Paravel-Broadcast.  Now, when i send the
command "yum -y install rivendell-install" after loading fast mirror and
base ans extras and updates "mirrors.xtom,com - the machine returns "No
package *rivendell-install* available.  Error:Nothing to do.
   I have tried this 4 or 5 times with the same results.

Has the command changed (new install name) or do I need to use a different
set of instructions?  It has nearly always worked before.

re: Log Chains
   Although RDLogManager will put a chain log command at the end of your
log, you will probably have to edit that line to point to your next day log
name - especially if you use anything other than the automatic random
play/template log.  We use Natural Music to create our playlist which is
then imported into RDLogManager then using RDLogEdit it is saved as the
date on which it should play and the automatic chain is left as is (the
template) as a backup log.  We are running RD 2.19.6 on most of our
stations.  When a new log is imported the appropriate chain entry is edited
to reflect the desired sequence.  Works well for us.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell-dev Digest, Vol 87, Issue 9

[Jesse Jones]

Mike
  Check the last line in the offending log - the one that just ran out.  It
should be a chain log macro.  Occasionally our 5 Rivendell 2.19 hosts would
"drop" that last line when the logs were imported using a script and a
music scheduler play list.  It is very important that when the log is
imported that this macro is there.  The only reliable way we've found to
get it back is to create a new log for that date and re-import the
text/playlist... then edit the last line macro to make next at 00:00,
segue, and enter the next day's log name.
   Only once did all five drop that line at the same time and that was
because of a screwed up editing job in the music scheduler.  We are
replacing them with newer 3.3 units one by one slowly.
   As for administering... I use both tight VNC and real VNC to administer
8 Rivendell Appliances ranging from version 2.5 to 3.3 and (because I have
a routine down) it takes just under an hour to put in the logs for them all
-- two of the units are on Sprint Hotspots as their only internet and one
is on a Hughes Net, the rest are on Wireless (rural) networks -- spanning
about 400 miles from West to East.  It is about the only way to go.
Remember, there are more steers than people here in the Heart of Texas so
DSL, Broadband, and fibre are just not available out in the pastures where
we put the towers.
   It's kinda like ridin' a range horse, once you get used to it you don't
have to think about it much.  Good luck partner.

[RDD] I have a dream....

[Jesse Jones]

   I have a dream of there being a special ap or program which we converted
Windows/DJs could use to automagically repair anything wrong with the
Rivendell Appliance 3.3 (sorta like Windows repair kit) - not the settings
(although that would be a sweet dream) but things like glitches in the
RDAirplay that cause it to hiccup, and things in the database that suddenly
aren't in the right syntax to restore the data so the backup you made
yesterday cannot be used.
   Granted, such a wonderful ap was needed because I had a bad ram stick
and when I replaced it with good memory stuff that had been working wasn't
- like the power supply - so I yanked the hard drive and put it into a
freshly refitted machine - same model but 4x the ram (now 8 gigs) and a
known good power supply.  I thought to myself "Linux is not tied to the
motherboard like Windows" because I thought I read that somewhere.
Whatever the reason - before that new car smell had worn off the RD 3.3, I
had not only dinged it, it was a rambling wreck.  And the more I tried to
role back the damage the more I realized I had a sardine can lid strategy -
it just wouldn't go back.  I am just glad that social distancing means no
one was close enough to hear my finely expressed opinions...
   Yes, I have a dream that a magic wand will go twang and I shall suddenly
be in a fine pumpkin coach instead of this pickle.  Fred or Cowby, you got
any?

Re: [RDD] Rivendell-dev Digest, Vol 84, Issue 3

[Jesse Jones]

   I have found the problem with the VNC-auto.socket in my system - it has
a very short authentication time window, like 2 or 3 seconds.  If I use a
Tight VNC that has the password in memory then it connects, but if I take
the time to put in a password normally, it gracefully closes by the time I
get the first key hit.  I have tried giving the x11vnc a time=3
command, but that doen't seem to do any good.
   Anybody know what command I should send X11vnc to get, say, 20 seconds
to authenticate?

[Jesse Jones]

Thanks, Robert, I got it working.  Man, this is outasight!  Hours of manual
exporting from RD2.5 (doesn't do rdexport) covered in minutes.  To all who
got RDImport/RDExport working - many many many thanks! Good job!  We are
jumping this summer from 2.5 to 3.3, like going from a '57 Chevy to a
Ferrari!

[RDD] Regarding RDImport groups

[Jesse Jones]

Appliance 3.3 on Centos 7
I am trying to learn RD Export and RD Import - but when I try to RDImport
from the files I have created with RD Export on a different host with the
command RDImport --verbose --use-cartchunk-cartid  I get a message that it
cannot import, invalid group.

Is this the Centos 7 Group? or the groups under RDAdmin?

No.  The connection is gracefully closed at the submission of the password,
I never get to the screens.  The RD3 does not show any indication of
connection attempt that I noticed.

[RDD] tight vnc into new appliance

[Jesse Jones]

This is a brand new Paravel Appliance being set up on minimal CentOS 7.  I
have installed as root the x11vnc-auto per the instructions Nov 2018 RDD,
including systemctl start x11vnc-auto.socket and systemctl enable
x11vnc-auto.socket.  As user rd used vnc password and following the prompts
I set a password but did not use a view only password.  Up until this point
everything has gone as expected except when I use a TightVNC from Windows
10 Pro across the LAN the Appliance connects and asks for the password.
When I put in the correct password, the Appliance responds with "The
connection has been gracefully closed".  /home/rd/vnc.log is empty. Tail of
dmesg has nothing I recognize as vnc related. This same Windows 10 computer
Tight VNC works on 11 other (older) Appliances.  This is my first RD3 and
my first in CentOS 7 - everything else was in CentOS 6 and I have to use
notes just to get around.

Do you think I need to add the password to root to get the VNC to open?
What else should I do to get this working?

[RDD] log not chaining

[Jesse Jones]

RD 2.5.5 Centos 6.5 stand alone
After restoring the RD database backup (from another host) this unit does
not chain the logs at midnight.  I use the Gnome desktop.  I edit the
Natural Log/Natural Music merged log to include the next day log (mmddyy
format for the name) and save it.
At midnight, the time update works, but the chained log does not load.  The
chained log exists, and can be loaded with the select log button in
RDAirPlay.
Where do I start looking for the setting that didn't restore?
   PS - I Know the unit is using an old version but it matches its
counterpart on air which does chain correctly.

[RDD] Changing to AudioScience Card

[Jesse Jones]

I have a Rivendell Appliance version 2.19.3 (in Centos 7)
The unit works nicely using the onboard card - but we want to upgrade
(yesterday of course) to an AudioScience ASI5810 which shows up in lspci on
slot 02 (where I actually put it) but Rivendell does not see it - and it
does not show up in the aplay list.
   I have read several posts about using HPInfo - but I have not found that
in utilities or RDAdmin - and YUM does not recognize that...
   I have downloaded the HPK files (to /Download).
1) is there a step by step guide to installing the ASI5810 written for the
appliance or Centos 7 (Ubantu commands don't work well in the Appliance)
2) if not, how do I get the HPInfo utility into this appliance
3) and how do I get this sound card to work?

I love experimenting like the next guy - but the time has come to bite the
stick and ask!

[RDD] Using the on-board serial port as a GPIO

[Jesse Jones]

System is a Rivendell 2.5.5 Appliance on CentOs 6 - upgrade is not an option

We have a near immediate need to use the serial port on the back of
the Dell Optiplex 990 as a quick and dirty GPIO.  I know it's
possible, having read many different articles on the web.

However, I am having a frustrating time trying to get my unit to
accept the Port as a GPIO.  I know I have missed some little
something, and was wondering if anyone has the magic info wand to set
me free (by solving this)?

The settings:
Jones is both the name of the computer and the name of the RD host

Re: [RDD] Rivendell-dev Digest, Vol 60, Issue 14

[Jesse Jones]

That is exactly what I needed to know!  When I set up the passwd for rd
FileZilla worked like a charm.  I rebooted the Appliance twice to make sure
there was no conflict and it still worked as before.
   This is a "learn how" set up.  I am called upon to the be the tech of
some 5 Rivendell units currently on air - but I have been in the Windows
world since DOS 2.  There are a number of others using FTP into those
systems for VT and the like.  I am still scared to poke around in the units
on air - but by getting my lab work done on this system I should be able to
work on the others.  Thanks again.

[RDD] No Music in Generated Log for Appliance

[Jesse Jones]

The Problem:
The log generated by the RDLogManager for Service "Jones" does not have any
music in it, although there is a long list of the rules broken when it
finds zero exceptions (quickly).  The Log does, however, have the chain log
segment.

This is a new install from the DVD ISO downloaded off the Paravel Web Site
- by a newby in linux/CentOS 6 (but I go back to DOS 1 and even Basic A,
which makes me an old ahem) so I know I've missed a flag or a comma
somewhere.

Parameters:
  In RDAdmin
Manage Users - there are three:  Admin, Jones, and default user
Manage Services - there are two:  the default Production, and Jones
  Jones description: Learning System.   Program Code is blank.  Log
template: Jones %m%d,  Enabled Hosts: Jones (this was changed just after
the DVD was run via the terminal, and the computer is "named Jones".  It
will eventually be in a network with other older Rivendale stand alone
units.
Manage Groups uses the list that came with the DVD, Each of the Groups
has Production and Jones as active services
Manage Hosts - only Jones is listed
Scheduler Codes: There are 7
  In LogManager:
Events: there are 8 events, one for each of the Scheduler Codes and 1
TOH.  All have the services listed Jones and Production
Clocks:  Just 1 clock (JMX = just music) with the Services Listed of
Jones and Production
Edit Grids : All are clock JMX in both Jones and Production
  In RDAirPlay v2.5.5:
Host=Jones   User=Jones   Log=Jones-0317   Service=Jones
  In RDLibary V2.5.5:
There are 91 carts imported using the ADD, all into the Music Group
sequentially, schedule codes enterd, and the markers are all edited, and
all are TFN.
   I have noticed in the table that the owned by column is blank, even
though the terminal chown Rivendell *.wav  was run on the /var/snd (as
root).  Also, chmod 0660 8.wav

I have consulted Fred's Operations Manual, the Salemn Radio Labs
Application Note 003, and the article from Broadcast Engineering Stuff
12/31/09 by the Brett Blog (and of course, lots of time with Google, Bing,
etc.  Obviously, I'm overlooking something, and would appreciate a shove in
the right direction.  This is, after all, my learning system... so if I
blow it up -
