Thanks for the clarification David. Since there are no command line options for RDAirPlay then let me be more specific in what I’m looking for.

Re: [RDD] RDImport Question
Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. I have a working command that imports everything below the current directory and passes it to rdimport. That way I can run this thing for as long as it takes to import my 8000+ mp3 and flac files onto my NAS. The main problem I had was the spaces in file and folder names but Steve's command: find ./ -name "*.mp3" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rdimport GROUP took care of the spaces nicely. My command lIne: find ./ -name "*.mp3" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rdimport --normalization-level=0 --fix-broken-formats --autotrim-level=0 --segue-level=-15 --verbose "New age" Now I just have to wait a few days for this to complete on my little Raspberry Pi.

For example, if you have cd'ed into the top-level directory in which you store the music files (and their hierarchy), you can run this to list all of the files: (Assumes .wav files) find ./ -name "*.wav" -print0 That will traverse all directories beginning with the current directory looking for files that end with .wav. Pipe that into xargs with rdimport: find ./ -name "*.mp3" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rdimport GROUP where GROUP is the name of the group in Rivendell in which you want to import. I just tested this command and it worked for me. Your mileage may vary. find ./ -name "*.wav" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 rdimport --verbose TEST The command runs rdimport once for each file. You could also remove the -n1 and it will run rdimport with all of the files at once which should increase performance. I'm not that daring though, so I use -n1. The default for -n is 5000 (I think) so if you have more than 5000 files to import using xargs then increase -n accordingly. Make sure you have enough free carts in the group too.

I think the issue may be Pi and nfs related. I would not do more than I suggest in trying to run this down unless you really know what you are doing or are getting advice from someone who really knows what they are doing. I just did something that I do not know how to reverse. It involved deleting a symbolic link to /dev/null... (Just checked, I may have got it back.) OK. Here goes: I found something that advised me to put something like this in my /etc/fstab: 192.168.86.150:/var/snd /var/snd nfs noatime,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=5 0 2 On account of the pi using systemd. I did that but it did not seem to help. Perhaps I was not patient enough. I saw something that advised doing this: sudo update-rc.d nfs-common enable And something that advised this: sudo raspi-config then select Wait for network at boot/Yes None of this seemed to work. Perhaps I was not being patient enough at each step. If you try this, I suggest you reboot between each change and give it about 5 minutes to see if /var/snd gets mounted. I finally put this in a script that gets run from ~/.config/autostart/afterairplay.desktop sudo mount.nfs 192.168.86.150:/var/snd /var/snd after a reboot, even that did not seem to work...

[rd@rdserv2 ~]$ cat /etc/exports
/var/nfs192.168.86.86(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

sudo exportfs -a
On the Pi:
sudo mkdir /var/snd
sudo mount.nfs 192.168.86.150:/var/snd /var/snd
192.168.86.150 is the IP for the Riv server / NFS server / NAS.
I was not careful as to user and group ownership for /var/snd so that may still

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.

[RDD] Riv with a NAS
Hello All, I’m a fairly new user to Riv. My project is running it on Raspberry Pi4 using the image graciously provided by Edge Radio at https://www.edgeradio.org.au/rivendell-on-raspberry-pi.html version 3.20. since the Pi’s memory capacity is limited, I would like to have all converted audio located on my NAS. My installation will be for music play out only. No spots, promos or otherwise. Is there a way to have Rivendale do this. Both for play out and importing?
