Yes, I'm using the rlm_filewrite, and I created a .conf that includes where to write the file and %t - %a I'm having permissions issues with the windows box reading the file, but there's no use fixing that until the file actually works on the Linux box (which is my main issue..

[RDD] Now/Next Issues
I am trying to export Now Playing data via a text file to a separate Windows box that is streaming. So far, no luck. One thing I noticed about the Now Playing data when it was working; using "RN echo..." (so on and so forth), was that anytime a sweeper played over the intro of a song, the Now Playing info was not updated for that song. Is there a way to fix that? The next thing is that without the RML as above, the title is not updated in the text file. I am using the RLM and its appropriate conf file that was written to export "Now playing %t by %a". However the text file only has "Now playing by" in it, and completely skips the title and artist. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Hourly Resync
Just one more thought: This would also be useful for "spot blocks". Stick a resync marker on either side of the block, and it could be fit perfectly to the time required for a network show. ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
[RDD] Hourly Resync
I have a suggestion. "Resync" markers should be added. They would use stretch/squeeze on the ASI card. They would stretch/squeeze what is between them. Or between it and a TOH/BOH or hard event. An example: the hour before a satellite show. Instead of fading a song into the network; use the marker in the last quarter-hour. A smooth net join would occur. Maybe it's a bad idea but, Im pretty sure other systems have it.

[RDD] Audio Switcher
Hi, I am trying to use the audio switcher now that I have two audio cards. I had it working when I was using one audio card (routing input to output on that card), but now I have two audio cards and want to route the input of one card to the output of another. Without using jack, is there a way to set this up in "GPIO/Switchers" in RDAdmin? Until I get this working, I am routing my external feed into a channel on the mixer, but then there is no way to hard time the input on or off, or add spots without possible overlap. -- jh ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

Hi, I recently installed an ASI card(old one that doesn't work with RD) in an older Windows machine that streams my online station which freed up an extra cable to go back to my mixing board. I want to add a second sound card to RD that outputs to that channel, so that I can have two main log outputs.

[RDD] ASI4215
Hi! I just received a couple ASI4215s from a large station cluster (a. because the cards are old, and b. because they are upgrading to Wheatnet IP). I am trying to get the driver to compile, however some places I read that this card will not work with RD. I am using ver. 2.10.2. When I untar the package and apply the patches everything is fine, even after ./configure. However, when doing the make process, it will not let me continue, even as root. I says something about no target specified, and no make file found. I would love to get at least one card in the playout machine, simply because of four stereo streams, instead of a single stream from my onboard soundcard.

In my opinion, and probably many of yours too, Rivendell is #1 out of the top 6 radio automation systems. 4 out of the 5 other systems have this feature. Whether or not it gets used is different, it would just be nice to have the feature for those who want to use it. Do I use RDHPIInfo?
