Re: [RDD] Installing New Rivendell 341

[Mike Carroll]

A search for "mysql root password reset" gives this MySQL page.  I think
the process you'll want to follow is at the bottom of the page (and I think
I did this myself a long time ago).

Re: [RDD] RDCatch Wildcard Question(s)

[Mike Carroll]

I'd never heard of those, so I poked around some as well. Not sure it helps
any with your issue though.

Wikipedia has this for "broadcast calendar":
"The broadcast calendar is a standardized calendar used primarily for the
planning and purchase of radio and television programs and advertising.[1]
Every week in the broadcast calendar starts on a Monday and ends on a
Sunday, and every month has either four or five such weeks. Broadcast
calendar months thus have either 28 or 35 days."

and this:
"The key link between the broadcast and Gregorian calendars is that the
first week of every broadcast month always contains the Gregorian calendar
first of the month."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_calendar

The Wiki article for "iso week year" is somewhat confusing, but I think
this is the main idea:
"Weeks start with Monday and end on Sunday. Each week's year is the
Gregorian year in which the Thursday falls. The first week of the year,
hence, always contains 4 January. ISO week year numbering therefore usually
deviates by 1 from the Gregorian for some days close to 1 January."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_week_date

Re: [RDD] Can't seem to win

[Mike Carroll]

If you're using the Riv2 appliance ISO, I imagine the underlying CentOS
system is many years out of date. That might account for some of your
installation time, as the system is brought up to current maintenance.

Is there a reason to use Riv2, which is no longer being
developed/supported?  If not, I've found the Riv3 install instructions to
be very good; using them I can spin up a Riv system in well under an hour.

Re: [RDD] HD Radio

[Mike Carroll]

We don't use this, but I'm curious about it.  Is WSRO using now/next in an
FM broadcast?  If so, would the AM side be similar to the FM side?  Based
on this Nautel document I found, I expect you'll have to set up a Rivendell
UDP PyPad to send the data to the transmitter and some sort of
configuration on the transmitter to accept the data.

A couple of obvious things to consider.  Are the host names the same?  Are
the IP addresses?  Check that in RDAdmin, in the Hosts section.

Re: [RDD] RDCatch problem

[Mike Carroll]

After one of your tests, you might check /var/log/messages to see if
there's anything there about an RDCatch error.  You'll need root access to
view the log.

For permissions, open a command line and see what the "ls -l" command says
about access rights for that file.  You'd like to see read access for user,
group, and world.

Using dropboxes, for specific cut numbers in a single cart I think it's
possible to include the number in the file name and use the %j/%J metadata
character to assign it?  See Appendix E, "Metadata Wildcards" in the Ops &
Admin Guide.

Generally, I think retrieving files from a remote computer is safer than
someone pushing files to your computer, which requires a server and the
attendant security concerns.

Re: [RDD] Understanding Fade-UP and Fade-Down markers

[Mike Carroll]

For Fade Up, the fade starts at the beginning of the cut (Cut Start) and
ends at the Fade Up marker.  For Fade Down, the fade starts at the Fade
Down marker and ends at the end of the cut (Cut End).  The arrows on the
marker lines give a subtle hint of this.

Adding a Segue marker with Fades confuses things a bit, but I don't
understand it well enough to try to explain, sorry.

To add to Fred's comments about the Fades: Ideally a station would modify
their songs for trims, fades, and levels before they are brought into
Rivendell. So the only thing the playback system would need to know about
is segue points.  However, that's a lot of work for us small stations, so
we take the easier way out and use the RDLibrary controls.

Re: [RDD] Understanding Fade-UP and Fade-Down markers

[Mike Carroll]

I can't speak to the actual levels that are involved, but here's how we use
the markers.

   - Cut Start - Airplay starts playing the cut wherever this marker is
   placed; anything before the marker is ignored. We use this to drop
   excessive intro chatter in live cuts, and in one case to drop out an
   obscenity at the start of a song.
   - Cut End - Airplay ends playing the cut and starts the next cart. We
   use this to drop bad edits on live cuts, where the start of the next song
   is included in the cut.

The problem with the start/end markers is that the Airplay output level is
at its normal setting. This can cause abrupt-sounding transitions from one
song to the next.  The Fade settings can help with this.

   - Fade Up - Airplay starts playing the cut at "silence" level at the
   beginning of the marker, then increases the level to normal by the end of
   the marker.  We use this to soften the beginning of live music, where there
   may be an abrupt edit between two cuts.
   - Fade Down - Airplay starts fading the cut at the beginning of the
   marker, reaching "silence" level at the end of the marker.  We use this to
   soften applause after live cuts, or to force a fade on a song that ends
   abruptly.

Note that RDLibrary does not perform Fade Up or Down when you're playing a
cut in the waveform editor (at least in Riv2).

The Segue settings give you more help with cart transitions.

   - Segue Start - Airplay starts fading the cut to "silence" at the
   beginning of the marker.  This continues until Segue End.
   - Segue End - The cut is a "silence" level by this point. Airplay ends
   playing the cut.

The difference between Segue Start/End and Fade Down is the Airplay will
start playing the next cart at the beginning of Segue Start rather than at
the end of Fade Down.  This allows you to overlap carts for segues.  Note
that the Segue markers are ignored unless you have "segue" set as the cart
transition in your logs.

These other markers aren't used by us:

   - Talk Start/End - This turns the Airplay time indicator blue at Start,
   returning to normal color at End. This is used to let the DJ know it's a
   good place to talk over the music.  The setting doesn't do anything else
   that I can see.
   - Hook Start/End - This marks a section of the cut that will be played
   in Airplay when a Sound Panel button is pressed.  It's controlled by the
   "Play" setting on bottom of the Sound Panel - "Play All" or "Play Hook".

Mike

Re: [RDD] rdimport fails on file names with brackets

[Mike Carroll]

Square brackets are glob characters in file names (they're a regex list
indicator).  Maybe try disabling file globbing? That disables all of the
file expansion characters.  "set -f" to turn off, "set +f" to turn back on.

Re: [RDD] PRSS ContentDepot and Rivendell

[Mike Carroll]

RDCatch won't work for this, specifically because it doesn't handle
variable file names very well. We use Rivendell's dropbox facility instead,
with separate download folders for each program. The dropbox events can
then set to look for a fully generic file name (*.mp3 for example) and not
worry about the messy parts of the file name.

Dropboxes are managed on a per-host basis in RDAdmin.

Note that there are two file mask patterns in a dropbox definition: one for
the location and name of the file to ingest ("Path Spec") and another one
that specifies pieces of information that can be extracted from the file
name ("Metadata Pattern"). The name/location mask can have generic-match
characters in it.

Re: [RDD] Macro cart RML execution: parallel or sequential?

[Mike Carroll]

They are run serially - but the operations may be asynchronous because the
commands may be run by some other process.  Here's an example.  We load
logs via RDCatch using a macro cart, and we want anything that's currently
running to be faded and stopped before the new log gets loaded.  There are
three commands:

*PS 1 4500!   *
"Press stop on main machine, fading to silence after 4.5 seconds."  This
command is run asynchronously by RDAirplay, so as far as the RML
interpreter is concerned the PS is complete as soon as it's sent to
RDAirplay.  That means the next command in the macro cart will run
immediately.

*SP 5000!*

"Sleep for 5 seconds."  This command is run by the RML interpreter, which
forces it to pause executing commands for 5 seconds.  That allows the *PS* to
complete, plus an extra .5 seconds of silence for listening space.

*LL 1 logname 0!*
"Load log in main machine and begin execution."  This command is also run
asynch by RDAirplay.


If we don't put the sleep command in the cart, the LL will begin executing
immediately after the PS.

NN does nothing.  SP pauses the RML executor for the specified interval.

Not familiar with MT, sorry.

The RML appendix shows what process handles each command in its description.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell 3.5 Dropbox Syntax

[Mike Carroll]

You'll need to use Rivendell file metadata characters in the file name,
which will be replaced with the current month, day, and year. Something
like this: TST_%y-%m-%d_001.mp3   See Appendix D in the Rivendell
Operations Guide.

Note that you can't use generic masks in RDCatch file names, so no "*".
Because of that you'll need to have 20 separate RDCatch events, one for
each "_nnn" and cart combination.

Mike

Re: [RDD] RDCatch Error Notification

[Mike Carroll]

Not directly.  But you can have Rivendell execute an RML command, such as
RN ("run"), which you can then use to invoke a mail command.  Here's what
we have, although we don't have any external mail connections so it's all
internal.

RN mail -s "%y event %d for %t failed: %e" automation-err...@kptz.org <
/dev/null !

You get to it from: RDAdmin -> Manage Hosts -> hostname - RDCatch -> "Host
Wide Settings: Error RML".

One of the OpsGuide appendices has a list of the replaceable strings you
can use in the RML command; I forget which one.

Good luck!
Mike

Re: [RDD] Local Maintenance Routines

[Mike Carroll]

It appears local maintenance has to do with purging old entries in the
dropbox facility.  Looking at the Github source for Riv3, searching for
"local maintenance".

   - The rdservice.cpp daemon starts a timer for a program called
   checkMaintData.
   - checkMaintData is in the program maint_routines.cpp.  When it runs, it
   restarts the interval, then calls a routine called RunLocalMaintRoutine.
   maint_routines may also call a global routine called RunSystemMaintRoutine.
   - RunLocalMaintRoutine is also in maint_routines.cpp.  It calls the
   rdmaint program, then issues the "ran local routines" message.
   - rdmaint is rdmaint.cpp. It calls a routine named RunLocalMaintenance,
   which calls one routine named PurgeDropBoxes.
   - PurgeDropBoxes issues an SQL SELECT to locate dropboxes, then DELETE
   to remove each one.

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

Your RN command shows just the script name.  Does it make a difference if
you code the entire path?  For example, we have a macro cart with: RN

Re: [RDD] RDCatch Questions - Weird Wildcards

[Mike Carroll]

RDCatch requires an exact filename - which can be constructed using various
metadata pieces, such as the date.  Mask characters aren't allowed.

What you might be able to do is create a shell script that uses curl or
wget to retrieve the program file and place it into a local directory
specific to the program.  Then set up a Rivendell dropbox to monitor that
directory and ingest any file it finds there into the correct Rivendell
cart.  Finally, set up an RDCatch event to run the script.  The script will
run at the specified time and download the file.  Shortly after that the
dropbox will "see" the new file and ingest it.  This is sort of sloppy
(two-stage transfer) but it should be enough to let the staff work on
other things.

Rivendell dropboxes don't care about filenames, except to try to extract
program information from them if requested. If a file shows up in the
dropbox folder, it gets ingested.

We've just started exploring dropboxes, so that's about all I know. Others
can probably help more.

If you have a Facebook presence you might also check the Rivendell group
there; it's geared more towards Rivendell users than this mailing list
(which is geared more to the development of Rivendell).

Re: [RDD] Question on back to back carts

[Mike Carroll]

I think that will work.  I'm gonna use the letters A, B, and C for the cuts
rather than numbers, to make it a little easier to read.  You want
something like this:
#1 = A
#2 = B
#3 = C

#4 = C
#5 = A
#6 = B
---
#7 = B
#8 = C
#9 = A

If these are always Thu, Fri, Sat, you could also set the appropriate
day-of-week on each cut.  That'd help deal with any DJ errors if this cart
is played manually.

I imagine you'll need to be careful about the most-recent cut when you
update the cart with the next week's cuts.  Probably safest to replace them
all at once so the last-played dates are either all left intact or all
cleared, depending on how you do the updates.

It seems like a bit of work to manage this, since you have to triplicate
each cut.  But only once a week, perhaps not so bad.

Re: [RDD] Question on back to back carts

[Mike Carroll]

 What I've seen is that it works OK -- as long as you don't try to
rearrange the cut order.

We use specified-order in our Riv 2 system, and it does work for what we
need.  We have a weeknight syndicated show that sporadically sends us some
number of hour-long programs.  We want them to play in the order they're
received.  If we "run out" of new cuts - because we didn't get the
next batch of programs - we want to play the oldest cut in the cart (sort
of like a "rolling evergreen cut").

We keep a lot of old cuts in the cart, around 80, so that if we have to
play one it will be a couple of months old.  When we import new cuts, we
add them to the end of the order, wrapping from 99 to 1 when needed.  We
delete the same number of the oldest cuts.

The functions that decide which cut to play are routines RDCart::selectCut
and RDCart::GetNextCut in /lib/rdcart.cpp.

   1. Find the most-recently played cut in the cart, *by date*.
   2. Get the order number of that cut.
   3. Find the cut with the next highest order number, wrapping 99 to 1 if
   needed.

Note that "most-recent" is by *date*, not order number.  If you change the
order number of the most-recent cut, say from 44 to 58, that's the new
starting point to scan for the next-highest order cut.  (It took a while to
get my head wrapped around that!)

Re: [RDD] Evergreen meaning?

[Mike Carroll]

I came across this just last week, while looking at some of the code in the
Github repo.  An evergreen cut gets selected when no other cut in the cart
is available.  Otherwise, evergreen cuts are never selected.

Re: [RDD] Fade out the event currentlynplaying

[Mike Carroll]

Perhaps you need to pause the macro playback long enough to allow the stop
to finish?  Otherwise the next action will be done immediately, which might
stop playout.
For example, this doesn't work, because the load-log executes immediately
and stops the PS command's fade:

PS ...
LL ...


This is what we do for transitions:

PS 1 4500!  fade/stop over 4.5 seconds
SP 4000! wait for the fade to almost finish
LL ...


The half-second overlap sounds pretty good with most of our material.  YMMV.

Re: [RDD] last steps of Rivendell 3 install

[Mike Carroll]

Verify your quotes are correct.  In the command you pasted, the single
quote in front of the password phrase is a smart/curly quote, not a single
quote like the one after the password phrase.

The command shell thinks you are entering a long string that needs more
than one line, and is prompting you to enter more text.

To get out of the prompt, press Control-C.  Or close the window.  Both will
work .

Re: [RDD] Overlay Event

[Mike Carroll]

Here's what we've done.  It uses two of the RDAirplay playout machines, and
makes use of the fact that the machines run independently of each other.
Something similar may work for you, although we aren't using clocks.

We have a one-hour pre-recorded show that is started by an RDCatch macro at
the bottom of the hour. The macro:

   1. Loads a log that plays the program, with pre- and post-program promo
   carts, etc.  This goes into the Main playout machine.
   2. Loads another log, this one into the Aux1 machine.
  1. Hard start for the top of the hour, with a stop transition.
  2. A macro call that issues a MD (duck) command to drop the Main
  playout level a bit.
  3. A station id cart.
  4. Another macro call that restores the Main playout level.

In action, the program starts playing at :30, in the Main machine.  At :00
the Aux1 machine wakes up and does its magic.  Other than the level change,
the Main machine playout isn't affected.

The main drawback to this approach is that the hard-start time in the Aux1
log has to be hard-coded.  So if you need this same sort of thing for a
program that runs at a different time, you'll need to create another Aux1
log.

Re: [RDD] Riv with a NAS

[Mike Carroll]

Hi, Phil.

You're correct, it's "rd.conf".  (I work in three different operating
systems in my day job, plus Rivendell/CentOS, and I forgot which one I was
talking about. )

I'm not much of a Linux guy, but here's what I've done as an experiment.
I'm counting on the more experienced folks on the list to point out errors
and flaws.  This is using Win10, standard Rivendell 3 on CentOS, running on
VMWare under Win10, and a pretty old consumer-grade Netgear ReadyNAS, at
address 192.168.86.30.

   1. Use the Netgear web interface to create a shared folder in the NAS.
   I used the name "rivendell".  Ensure the folder is marked public.
   2. By default, the only way to access a new ReadyNAS shared folder is by
   using Windows file services (Netgear calls this "CIFS").  Use the web
   interface to also activate these services for the "rivendell" folder:
  1. "NFS". Ensure the "Default Access" is set to "Read/write".  My NAS
  is on a UPS, so I've disabled "Sync mode".
  2. "HTTP/S".  Ensure the Default Access is set to something other
  than "Disabled".  I used "Read-only".
   3. I could now see the shared folder in a web browser, at
   192.168.86.30/rivendell, on both Windows and CentOS.

On the Rivendell/CentOS machine, you can access the NFS share by issuing
these commands as root:

   1. Create a /var/rivendell directory. Don't put anything in it - this is
   used as a target for a mount.  mkdir /var/rivendell
   2. Make the NAS shared folder available to CentOS: mount -t nfs
   192.168.86.30:/rivendell /var/rivendell/

At this point you can work with /var/rivendell as if it were any other
directory - except that it's on the NAS.  For example, you could update the
rd.conf audio store settings to point to /var/rivendell instead of
/var/snd

The /var/rivendell directory on your local drive is hidden. If you unmount
("umount") the /var/rivendell remote directory, the local one will
re-appear.

There are issues with Rivendell file and directory permissions, and you
definitely want to update the /etc/fstab file so the NAS share gets mounted
at boot time. I leave those as an exercise for someone more experienced
than me.

Re: [RDD] Riv with a NAS

[Mike Carroll]

You specify the location of both the sound directory and the SQL server
address in /etc/rd.config.  Note that the directory can be named anything,
but is traditionally called /var/snd.

I haven't put a Rivendell library on a NAS.  But our music server at home,
running on Raspberry Pi Raspbian, has an NFS mount to our consumer-grade
NAS.  I had to activate the NFS service in the NAS, but after that it was
just a normal mount from the Pi.  So I expect something similar would need
to be done for your NAS.

I don't think there's a reason to share the MySQL database among the

it.  The Rivendell workstations will use an IP connection to the server for
their database accesses..

Although NFS can provide file locks, a database server needs much finer
serialization controls.  That's one reason why I/O accesses are done in the
server. And then there's that whole accidental deletion or mangling
possibility, which I suspect is what's making Fred twitch.

Re: [RDD] Feature request store shell scripts - may need some discussing.

[Mike Carroll]

The IBM mainframe product I work on has a similar implementation of script
locations. We have "events" that run scripts that are either embedded in
the event's database definition or in an external file.

The biggest issue our customers have with storing in the database is that
the script is hidden from change management and auditing.  That's not so
much the case with Rivendell, I imagine.

You can't grep a database - yeah, yeah, SQL etc, but someone has to write
the UI. 

You're stuck with whatever editor the product (ours or Rivendell)
implements, unless there are more changes to the product to configure and
use an external editor.

What we've found is that the database is useful for customers with small
scripts or less-than-formal management, but for anything beyond that they
prefer to use external files.

Re: [RDD] EXPORT EVENTS

[Mike Carroll]

How about using the Aux1 and Aux2 machines as well as Main?

*Main:*
Plays a macro cart that:

   - Starts Aux1 playing the bed music cart.
   - Sleeps a second or two, to allow brief bed w/o voiceover.
   - Starts Aux2 playing a "news" log.
   - Stops Main.

*Aux1:*
Plays the bed music cart.  Needs to be at least as long as the news intro
cart.

*Aux2:*
Plays the "news" log:

   - Plays the news intro cart.
   - Plays a macro cart to fade/stop Aux1 (bed).
   - Plays the news cart.
   - Starts Main to continue with the remaining playlist.

I haven't tried this, it's all theoretical .

Re: [RDD] Broken Rivendell Dropboxes on Rivendell v 3.1.0 appliance

[Mike Carroll]

Hi, Brandon.  The fix isn't released into the packaging stream yet, so yum
doesn't know anything about it.  See Fred's sentence:  "Known issue, fixed
in Git ‘master’. >>It will appear in the next regular release.<<"

If you're a site that builds Rivendell itself, rather than using the
pre-packaged system, you would need to pull the latest Rivendell source
updates from the github repository and do a mass build. Otherwise you'll
need to wait until Fred & Co. release the next 3.x package.

If you only want to back up the Rivendell database you can use the

request.  You should code those on your mysql backup command.

[RDD] What might cause ripcd high CPU?

[Mike Carroll]

Hi, folks.  On one of our Rivendell workstations, top reports ripcd is
taking about 15% of the CPU. On a second workstation it's 1% or so.
It doesn't look like anything special, such as an RDCatch import, is
running.

The two workstations aren't the same, but I wouldn't expect a 10:1
difference. Any suggestions what I can look for?  I walked through the
top-level ripcd source on Github, but nothing jumped out.

Thanks.

We had that happen once when our /var/snd mount point went inaccessible.
If you have /var/snd on a different server, check that machine's logs.

Re: [RDD] Voice Tracking - rdlogedit

[Mike Carroll]

For the missing services, check that your "user" and "admin" Rivendell user
ids (and any others) are authorized for those new services: RDAdmin, Manage
Users, Service Permissions.  (It appears that Rivendell no longer
automatically authorizes a new service for all users.)

Re: [RDD] Github being "assimilated" by the evil empire of Redmond

WSL = Windows Subsystem for Linux.  Optional free component of Windows that
provides a fully compatible *command-line* Ubuntu system.  Other distros
are potentially available, depending on their maintainers.

I can see where WSL could be used for the services part of Rivendell, but
not the graphic displays?

Re: [RDD] Rivendell & Spinitron

[Mike Carroll]

 It looks like using the new v1 backward API link is the simplest change.

   - Externals: add to [station] section in the RLM config file:
  - ApiVersion - how RLM talks to Spinitron for this station
 - 0 or omitted = old API call with user and password phrases
 - 1 = new v1 backward-API call with API key value
  - ApiKey - Spinitron-assigned station API key for ApiVersion=1
   - In the program:
  - If ApiVersion = 1:
 - Format curl message with no user or password phrase; all else is
 the same
 - Invoke curl with -H 'Authorization: Bearer STATION_API_KEY'
 phrase w/the station's API key and the v1 API web address
  - Otherwise
 - No change to curl message (has user/password phrases)
 - No change to curl invocation

The v1 backwards-compatible API is documented here:

Re: [RDD] mysql query to file report

[Mike Carroll]

If you use this join instead of the one I suggested earlier, you will get
the play count for the cut that was actually played, rather than the first
one in the cart - assuming it hasn't been deleted since it was played.

LEFT JOIN cuts ON CONCAT(LPAD(played.CART_NUMBER, 6, '0'), "_",
LPAD(played.CUT_NUMBER, 3, '0')) = cuts.CUT_NAME

Re: [RDD] mysql query to file report

[Mike Carroll]

(I got help for this from searching postings on StackOverflow, which I
highly recommend when looking for programming answers. Also, if you don't
have something already, I highly recommend the free MySQL Workbench to
explore and work with database queries such as this.)

The simplest way to get the _001 cut and its play count is to add this
additional JOIN to the query:

LEFT JOIN CUTS ON Audio_SRT.CART_NUMBER = CUTS.CART_NUMBER AND
RIGHT(CUTS.CUT_NAME, 3) = '001'

This is a pretty brittle design, because it depends on the formatting of
that database column's value, which could theoretically change in a future
Rivendell.

Also, this doesn't work if the _001 cut has been deleted from the cart,
even if there is another cut that is now "first" in the cart.

Here's the query I ended up.  View it in a fixed-width font to make it more
readable.

SELECT
cart.NUMBER as 'Cart number',
cuts.CUT_NAME as 'Cut name',
played.EVENT_DATETIME as 'Played on',
cuts.PLAY_COUNTER as 'Total plays',
TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(cart.FORCED_LENGTH / 1000), "%i:%s") as
'Duration: cart',
TIME_FORMAT(SEC_TO_TIME(played.LENGTH  / 1000), "%i:%s") as
'Duration: played',
cart.TITLE as 'Song title',
cart.ARTIST as 'Artist',
cart.COMPOSER as 'Composer',
cart.LABEL as 'Label',
cart.ALBUM as 'Album title'
FROM rivendell.dick_k_srt AS played
LEFT JOIN cart ON played.CART_NUMBER = cart.NUMBER
LEFT JOIN cuts ON played.CART_NUMBER = cuts.CART_NUMBER AND
RIGHT(cuts.CUT_NAME, 3) = '001'
WHERE
cart.GROUP_NAME IN ('MUSIC', 'XMAS')
AND
played.EVENT_DATETIME BETWEEN
DATE_FORMAT((NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH), '%Y-%m-01
00:00:00') AND
DATE_FORMAT(LAST_DAY(NOW() - INTERVAL 1 MONTH), '%Y-%m-%d 23:59:59')
ORDER BY cart.NUMBER ASC, played.EVENT_DATETIME DESC

Re: [RDD] Rivendell Servers/workstations changing IP addresses.

[Mike Carroll]

You'll need to change the IP address defined to Rivendell for each of your
workstations.  Rivendell keeps this data in its database, and you manage it
using "Manage Hosts" function in RDAdmin.  IIRC, if they don't match
reality various problems occur when try you to work with cuts.  However,
the rest of Rivendell works OK -- including RDAdmin.

Once you get your new system set up, use RDAdmin on any workstation to
modify the IP addresses for each of the Rivendell "hosts" (workstations).
Restart Rivendell daemons on all systems and you should be all set.

Re: [RDD] Mysql Backup

[Mike Carroll]

Open a CentOS command line and enter "rdadmin".  Try taking the backup.
Look at the command line window for any SQL error messages.

You might also check /var/log/messages on the workstation where you're
trying the backup, and /var/log/mysqld.log on the MySQL server.  You'll
need superuser to access both of those logs.

Re: [RDD] Password error

[Mike Carroll]

To expand on what Steve said:

"root" is a CentOS user id; you use this to do system maintenance. You
created the password for this during the system setup part of the Appliance
install.

"rd" is a CentOS user id; this is the userid you normally run with.  I
believe this is set up during the system part of the install, and defaults
to no password.  The only time this is really an issue is if you have a
screensaver set up that requires CentOS user id and password to get back in.

"root" is a MySQL user id; you use this to do database maintenance.  You
created the password for this during the database setup part of the install.

"rduser" is a MySQL user id; Rivendell uses this to do database queries.
The password for this is set in rd.conf and defaults to "letmein".

"admin" is a Rivendell user id; you use this to do maintenance using
RDAdmin.  This is set up in the default Rivendell install and defaults to
no password. Change the password using "Manage Users" in RDAdmin.

"user" is a Rivendell user id; this is the user id you normally run
Rivendell with. It was also set up in the install, has no password, and is
managed in RDAdmin.

IIRC, Rivendell access control is undergoing some changes, so my comments
there might be out of date.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell rd-bin webpage use

[Mike Carroll]

I'll second that.  I'm curious how folks use the XML generated by the "list
cart" function.

I also experimented a little bit with the addcart.html page, but I kept
getting error code 5.  I saw there were a bunch of places in the import
source code where that error can be set, but I never tracked down what my
specific error was.

Re: [RDD] rdimport: import into "Edit Notes" text box in RDLibrary?

[Mike Carroll]

A quick look at the rdimport source at
https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/blob/stable/utils/rdimport/rdimport.cpp
shows
no references to "notes", so probably not.

Re: [RDD] Several questions Voice Track & Logs Backups

[Mike Carroll]

Rivendell provides Web APIs for a lot of its functions, and has several web
pages in the /var/www/rd-bin directory.  For example,
http://.../rd-bin/listlog.html will list the contents of a log, in XML
form.  ("..." is your Rivendell machine's IP address.) The pages are very
basic, mostly proof of concept or testing; certainly not user-friendly.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell Website and Wiki

github.com provides a project-level Wiki of some sort. But it looks like
you need a github id just to see it. I think it's also intended to be
geared towards the development process, not user-level stuff.

Re: [RDD] RDCatch Suggestion

[Mike Carroll]

I played with this on a test Appliance system. This RML will send an email
with error information when an RDCatch event fails:


*RN mail -s "%y event '%d' for %t failed: %e" mi...@kptz.org
 < /dev/null !*

The "mail" command is part of the Appliance CentOS.  The resulting email
has no body, and a title something like this:

*Download event 'West Coast Live Hour 1->Cut 001' for 13:19:25 failed:
Unknown Audio Format*

Re: [RDD] RDCatch Suggestion

[Mike Carroll]

The source for the RDCatch daemon shows a function, ResolveErrorWildcards,
that provides these substitutions:

%d - event description
%e - error description
%i - event id
%t - start time, hh:mm:ss
%y - type of event
%k - channel for recording/playout; "n/a" otherwise
%n - cut name (?) for recording/playout and upload/download; cart number
for macro event; "n/a" otherwise
%u - upload/download URL; "n/a" otherwise

I haven't tried these, so grain of salt.

Re: [RDD] backup error. suggested fix procedure.

[Mike Carroll]

Fred, we're using the Centos 6-based Appliance system for our workstations,
pointing to a MySQL server.  Do you know what would be different for
MySQL?  Updating open_files_limit in /etc/my.conf, maybe?

I'll guess we need to restart Rivendell on all of the workstations after
the MySQL server is restarted, since any open connections will be dropped.

Thanks for publishing this.  I've been seeing these errors for a while.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell v2.16.0

[Mike Carroll]

Every command you enter in the MySQL shell must end with a semi colon.
Otherwise the shell thinks you're continuing the statement, and will issue
another prompt to get the remaining text (that's the "->" at the start of
the line).  If you forget the semi-colon, you can enter it at that
continuation prompt.

I didn't check all of the messages: are you running as a client/server,
where the MySQL server is on another machine?  If that's the case, you may
be having a problem with MySQL authorizations.

[RDD] Cart play-by-order, doesn't?

[Mike Carroll]

Hi, listers.  We have a 4-hour program, played weeknights. It's divided
into 1-hour segments, with a cart for each hour. Each week we add five new
cuts to each cart for the coming week. We don't remove old cuts, at least
for now. The "Schedule Cuts" option for all carts is set to "By Specified
Order".

This past week the newly-added cuts did not play - but only in 3 of the 4
carts.
-- In cart #1, the highest numbered cuts play correctly (numbers 21 through
25).
-- In the other three carts, cuts 21-25 didn't play. Instead, cuts 2
through 6 played (why 2??).

For the carts that didn't play correctly:
-- The ORIGIN field for all the 21-25 cuts show they were imported on 5/28
(Sunday).
-- The LAST PLAYED field shows the 2-6 cuts were played 5/29-6/2
(Monday-Friday). For the 21-25 cuts it's "Never".
-- The # OF PLAYS field shows 0 for the 21-25 cuts, 2 for the 2-6 cuts that
were played, and 1 for all other cuts.

None of the cuts has any date/time restrictions on them. None of them are
marked evergreen.

The log for the playout machine don't show any issues with trying to play
the cuts, just that the wrong ones were played. The log for the MySQL
server doesn't show any errors.

Why didn't the expected cuts play? We're fortunate that each hour of the
program is mostly standalone, so it's unlikely our listeners noticed, but
I'd like to know if there's something I missed in setting this up (or
understanding how it works) before we use this type of scheduling for other
multi-cart programs. Thanks for any help.

[RDD] How to programmatically remove paused cart in RDAirplay?

[Mike Carroll]

Hi, everyone.

We have RDAirplay set so that the button widgets (left side) are set for
pause/play rather than start/stop. A side effect of this is that when a
cart is paused, it is immune to an "unload log" request, either manually
via the Select Log / Unload action or programmatically using the Load Log
RML command.

We'd like to set up an RDAirplay button for the on-air folk to to remove
any and all paused carts, rather than ask them to do it manually. But it
appears the only way to remove a paused cart from the playlist is to press
the cart's play button and let it finish, use the Delete button, or the
trash can.

I tried the various start options on the Load Log RML command, but none of
them affect the paused cart. I imagine I can write some SQL to query the
related table and then rip out anything that's paused, but I'd rather use
something in the existing software.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike Carroll

Grasping at straws here, but perhaps this message thread applies?  It notes

Re: [RDD] Database Access Question(s)

[Mike Carroll]

I've never run into the backup problem, but here's a couple of things you
might try to figure out why: check /var/log/messages for anything
"interesting" around the time of one of the failures; run RDAdmin from a
command line then do a backup so any messages it issues appear at the
terminal.  There's also the MySQL log at /var/log/mysqld.log, but it's
unlikely you'll see anything there.

Been a while since I've posted to the group.

I currently still only have a single RD system running out on the other
side of the country, so I don't get a chance to "fiddle" with it much.

I decided I had better do a database backup since its been a long while,
and using rdadmin when I tried was greeted with "Unable to create
backup!".  On some google searching, seems this is a common long-running
issue.  I did find a command that allowed me to back it up via the
command line.

The reason for my post is I am wanted to install RD for a single AM
station that I do some side work for.  My plan is going to make heavy
use of running RDLogEdit/RDLogManager from a couple Windows machines.
So my questions:

1)  Does this "bug" that crops up that won't allow DB backups from
within RD also affect the ability to remotely access the DB from RD
modules running on Win platforms?

2)  Can you have simultaneous access to the DB from multiple Win
platforms?  I imagine the PD will want to create clocks and such while
Traffic will be working on logs.

Thanks!

-Alan

PS  This is on the latest appliance via the Parvel website. Also,
database backup in rdadmin used to work fine.  It just "broke" one day,
and since its been a while I'm not sure when or why.

[RDD] Now&Next for sound panel?

[Mike Carroll]

Is it possible to send Now&Next data for carts played via RDAirplay's sound
panel buttons?

I set up the "filewrite" RLM and data is written for carts played in the
main and both aux logs. But nothing is produced when I play a cart using
any of the sound panel buttons, nor for carts played via RDPanel and
RDCartSlots.

Thanks for any assistance or ideas.

[RDD] RDLibrary audio import silent fail

[Mike Carroll]

Hi, everyone.  Several times over the past couple of weeks we've had
problems where a pre-recorded show's audio file appeared to be successfully
imported to a cart using RDLibrary, but RDAirplay would skip the file,
reporting an openWave() error in the system log. When the same audio file
was imported again it would play correctly.

Checking the system log on the workstation where the RDLibrary import was
done, I see messages from rdxport.cgi that are reporting null data. As you
can see, there weren't any other messages in the log for the import..

"caed", etc, aren't services (they're daemons) so they aren't managed with

"whereis rdpanel"
"which rdpanel"
"type rdpanel"

You can also use "find -name rdpanel" from the root directory but that
generates a lot of permission-denied messages.

(On a CentOS system the Rivendell programs are in /usr/bin.)

Yep, and that fix was included in 2.13.  Just checked on one of my

Re: [RDD] Custom reports?

Nice. I'm not a database guy, but I think it's generally more efficient to
let the server do as much work as possible rather than transferring records
"across the wire" to your script and doing it there.

As you dig into the wonderfulness of SQL joins, this reference might come

Re: [RDD] Unable to Allocate Carts in group "MUSIC"

[Mike Carroll]

In the source on Github, that message is issued from disk_ripper.cpp after
a call to reserveCarts in rdgroup.cpp returns "failed/false".  reserveCarts
calls GetNextFreeCart, also in rdgroup.  That code looks like it's trying
to find enough slots to handle the request, within the cart number limits
of the group.

So, grasping at straws here: maybe look at the cart number range you've
defined for your Music group and compare it to the number of carts you've
already got in Rivendell.  The group limits are set in RDAdmin under Manage
Groups.

[RDD] RDCatch and DST time change?

[Mike Carroll]

We had an issue with an RDCatch event over the weekend when the US time
changed:  The event was scheduled at 5AM but ran at 6AM.  Another event,
scheduled for 7AM, ran on time.

Based on these two occurrences, I'm thinking RDCatch is using an interval
timer to wait for the next event in its list of things to do.

In this case the event that occurred prior to the failed one was at 1AM. If
RDCatch used an interval of 4 hours, it would "miss" the "removal" of an
hour in that interval and run one hour late. After running the (late)
event, RDCatch would then correctly calculate the interval to the next
event at 7AM.

If this sounds plausible (I didn't dig into the source code), or if you've
had this issue, can I work around it in RDCatch?  Perhaps by scheduling a
do-nothing event at 2:15AM?  This would actually run at 3:15AM in this
case, but it would force RDCatch to "see" the missing hour and calculate
the interval to the 5AM event correctly.  Something similar should work for
the fall time change.

Thanks,
Mike Carroll

Re: [RDD] Multi-cut cart metadata

[Mike Carroll]

As Cowboy says, RDLibrary will show you most of the data.

The SQL statement "select * from rivendell.cuts where CUT_NAME =
nn_xxx" will dump all of the data that Rivendell has for cut #xxx in
cart #nn.  MySQL Workbench is your friend for things like this.

When you say "metadata", are you perhaps meaning data in the physical sound
files, such as MP3 tags?  AFAIK there's nothing in Rivendell to view stuff
like that.

Re: [RDD] Rd library in windows

[Mike Carroll]

You can also use the free VMware player.  I use it to run the appliance
CD's CentOS 6 system for experimenting.

My test bed is Win10 laptop, 16GB, Intel i5, and an SSD, but I've run a
similar VM/Rivendell system on a 2009ish Dell Inspiron desktop with Win7,
some sort of Intel dual core, and 8GB.

A nice thing about running on a laptop is that I can install RDSelect and
switch between my standalone test Rivendell on the laptop and our
production Rivendell system.  But between the wifi and the VM system, audio
latency in my case is too much of a problem to reliably edit markers in
RDLibrary or to work with voice tracking.

[RDD] RDCatch date offset question

[Mike Carroll]

Hi, listers.

I've been reading the RDCatch example in the Tryphon wiki and I've curious
about the "Event offset" value. Its action isn't described anywhere I could
find, but it looks like it affects date wildcards specified in the download
URL.  So if your file has "%D" in the name, and and the download is running
today, 2015-11-29, and the event offset is three days, then the effective
%D value is 2015-12-02. Is that correct?

Re: [RDD] RDAirPlay crash

[Mike Carroll]

The RN text is a shell command, so you'll have to escape the substituted
strings.  Maybe this will work?
RN echo '%a - %t' > /var/www/playingnow.txt!

(I'm not near a machine I can test on, sorry)

 I didn't investigate any further.

 Could that be in play?

Re: [RDD] Workstations setup

[Mike Carroll]

I recall fixing a sampling rate issue on a laptop I was playing with, by
adding rate conversion processing to the asound.conf file. Those notes (and
the laptop) are long gone, but I did a search and found this post from last
year:
http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/pipermail/rivendell-dev/2014-September/021614.html

It shows the /etc/asound.conf contents as this:
pcm.rd0 {
 type hw
 card 0
 rate 44100
}
ctl.rd0 {
 type hw
 card 0
 rate 44100
}

I imagine you'd change the rate to 48000 since that's what caed is
complaining about.

That's about all I can suggest; we're moving way outside my script-kiddy
level of competence. 

Regards,
Mike

Re: [RDD] Workstations setup

[Mike Carroll]

It's a rainy sort of a day here, so as an exercise I set up two Rivendell
virtual machines, both using the Appliance DVD.  One was installed via the
"standalone" menu item, the other via the "workstation" item.  I took all
of the defaults for the software packages.

After verifying that the standalone Rivendell worked OK, I ran through the
items on this wiki page:
http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Remote_Client_Access  and noted what's
needed for an Appliance-based workstation setup.

NB: I didn't set up *any* security in this exercise, and in fact removed
some. You'll want to do something different in real life.

If I got my notes right, this is what I did.

On the standalone (server) system:
-- Activate network file sharing (NFS). NFS is installed by the Appliance,
but isn't set up to start automatically.
Issue this command to start it automatically at boot: chkconfig nfs on
Issue this command to start it right now: service nfs start

-- Make the sound files available to the world:
Add a new line to /etc/exports: /var/snd *(rw,root_squash,sync)
Issue this command to activate the change: exportfs -rv
(Also see the last step about directory permissions.)

-- Allow access to the MySQL server for the Rivendell user workstations.
The default permissions in MySQL allow access only by the local machine.
Issue this command to start the MySQL command line interface: mysql -uroot
-p -Dmysql
The default MySQL password installed by the appliance is blank (none).
Within the CLI issue this command to allow access for "rduser" from the
network:
grant all on Rivendell.'*' to 'rduser'@'%' identified by 'letmein';
This allows users named 'rduser' to connect to the MySQL server from any
network address ('%'), using the password 'letmein'.

-- I didn't have to do anything to /etc/my.cnf to allow access from network
adapters.  The netstat -an | grep 3306 command noted in the wiki page
showed MySQL was listening for all addresses. The MySQL manuals say that
this is the default.

-- I didn't do anything to firewalls; not required in my setup.


On the workstation system:
-- Change the workstation's host name.  The appliance always names the
system "rdhost". Rivendell uses the host name as its workstation identifier
and so host names must be unique.
To set the new name at boot, edit /etc/sysconfig/network and replace the
HOSTNAME= value with the new name.
To set the new name now: hostname *newname*

-- Make the sound files on the server available to this workstation:
Add a new line to /etc/fstab ("server" below is the standalone machine's
address):
server:/var/snd  /var/snd  nfs  defaults  0  0
The directory will be mounted automatically at boot. To mount it now: mount
/var/snd

-- Tell Rivendell where the MySQL server is located.
Set the Hostname= value in /etc/rd.conf to the standalone machine's
address.
To activate the change now: service rivendell restart

-- Add this workstation to the Rivendell network. This is required to get
the Rivendell audio definitions set correctly so you can play sound files.
Start RDAdmin and select Manage Hosts.
Create a new host, named the same as the workstation's host name. You'll
get a couple of warnings about audio assignments not being available;
that's OK.
Set the host's IP address to the workstation's address and save the host.
Completely exit RDAdmin.
Activate the change by restarting the Rivendell daemons with this command:
service rivendell restart
Verify the change by re-entering RDAdmin/Manage Hosts and editing the host
you just created.  You shouldn't get the warnings about audio.


At this point I could see my sound files in RDLibrary on the workstation,
but couldn't play them because of NFS file permissions and userid
mismatches...I think. I took the cheap way out and on the standalone
machine allowed everyone full access to /var/snd:
chmod 0777 /var/snd
After this I could play sound files in the workstation.

Hope this is useful.

Re: [RDD] Updating Rivendell on Paravel System

[Mike Carroll]

As root, issue "yum update" then "yum upgrade".  This will install whatever
updates are pending for all of your installed packages.

At least on the Appliance DVD, updates are automatically checked for and
signaled by a starburst in the system notification panel. If you see that,
click the starburst to install the updates.  Don't know about non-Appliance
CentOS systems.

Re: [RDD] rmlsend on win32 - send load log

[Mike Carroll]

Looking at the source on github, I don't think it'll matter which version
you use.  These lines are in the main() section of rmlsend.cpp:

#ifdef WIN32
  cli_mode=false;
#endif  // WIN32

So it looks command line processing is explicitly disabled for the Windows
platform.

Yes. In response to a query Paravel Systems told me that there is a

Re: [RDD] MySQL version mismatch error?

[Mike Carroll]

All of your Rivendell systems that share a database must be at the same
minor version level.  For example, your servers are 2.10.3 ("10"), but if
you've upgraded the clients they are now at 2.11.0 ("11").  That difference
in minor versions means the structure of at least some of the tables in the
database has changed and requires the uplevel version of Rivendell.

Rivendell can convert from a lower database level ("242") to a higher one
("245"), and will do so the first time its processing routines get control
after an upgrade. So when someone logged on to your updated clients,
Rivendell automatically upgraded the database.  Now, all your clients can
access Rivendell because they all "speak" database level 245, but your
servers can't because they're down-level.

You'll need to upgrade your servers to the same Rivendell release to get
things to work properly again.

Re: [RDD] Peak Data Error

[Mike Carroll]

A somewhat remote possibility: Are you using DHCP?  If so, is it possible
that your new modem/router is assigning addresses in a different range than
your old router?

Re: [RDD] Appliance on a virtual machine?

[Mike Carroll]

The CentOS installer on the appliance CD is less-than-clear in spots when
you're setting up disk partitions.  Even though the initial partitioning
display shows an empty disk, it isn't really - there's some sort of
residual data in the installer's tables that makes it thinks you've got
partitions set up already. So you must first select the "reset" option to
clear the installer's data.

Re: [RDD] RDAirPlay crashing XServer (Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid)

[Mike Carroll]

Perhaps the problem is the mismatch between your Ubuntu system and the
Rivendell package levels? Utopic (14.10) vs. Vivid (15.04)
