you just need a serial header to db9 plate adaptor to use it.

Re: [RDD] Need grids

First I wouldn't update unless you think you need a feature in the newer

For adding a grid I think you want to add a service in rdadmin.
Here's the newest manual though it's not very new:

Hope that helps,

Hi Brandon,
Can you try a mysql statement to see if you have the data there? Something
like select * from CART LIMIT 0,3;
Or look in phpmyadmin at the CART table?

Re: [RDD] Need Help with 3 Issues

[Robert Orr]

Number 3.
The scheduler doesn't fill based on the length of the pie slices. It just
places one cart for each slice no matter how big or small the slice is. So
if you needed to over-fill part of the hour you could put ten any-length
pie slices (even 1 second long if you want) and the scheduler would add 10
carts. If you need to add short songs at the end, you have to put short
songs in a group or use scheduler codes that only the short songs have.
Hope that helps

Re: [RDD] Auto starting log

My guess would be you are running the rmlsend command a bit too early. Can
you add a sleep for 10 seconds command to your script before you send the
start command?

Re: [RDD] RIvendell Progress Report 04\29\14)

Glad you are getting it working. Yes rdimport is a command line program
that works great for getting a whole directory imported automatically.
Rdlibrary is the gui where you can import one song at time and have a lot
more control.
Have a great day,

Re: [RDD] Advantages of ASI, and other alternatives?

[Robert Orr]

Hi Alan,
1. 6XXX ASI cards can do hardware MPEG decoding and timestretching. All ASI
cards have huge buffers and take all the load off the CPU leaving basically
no possibility of audio glitches.
2. How about RME HDSP 9632 or similar with ADAT IO? (The driver is written
by Paul Davis the lead coder on Ardour). Add an ADAT to Balanced box
(cheapest being the Behringer ADA8000) and you're golden for as low as $780

For those who are looking for extremely cheap cards (generally unbalanced)
look for a card that uses ice1712  (the chipset used in the Delta 1010 or
1010LT) or ice1724 chipsets like the Vantec UGT-S110 $39

Have a great day,
Robert

Re: [RDD] Generating Airplay-chart

[Robert Orr]

Here's mine that works for SOCAN:
SELECT AllHours_SRT.EVENT_DATETIME, CART.TITLE, CART.ARTIST, CART.COMPOSER,
AllHours_SRT.LENGTH, CART.LABEL, CART.ALBUM FROM `AllHours_SRT` LEFT JOIN
CART ON AllHours_SRT.CART_NUMBER = CART.NUMBER WHERE
(AllHours_SRT.EVENT_DATETIME BETWEEN "2013-02-08 06:40:00" AND "2013-02-08
06:59:59") AND (CART.GROUP_NAME <> "TEMP") AND (CART.GROUP_NAME <> "TEST")
AND (CART.GROUP_NAME <> "ads") AND (AllHours_SRT.CART_NUMBER <> "26000")
AND (AllHours_SRT.CART_NUMBER <> "4000") AND  (CART.GROUP_NAME <> "ID")
AND (CART.GROUP_NAME <> "currevents") into outfile "/tmp/this.txt";
I needed to do the left join part because one of the tables contained some
of the data I needed and another one contained the rest.
Have a great day,
Robert

Re: [RDD] Scripts and Why They Work

[Robert Orr]

Thanks for the kind words Alan. I'm not sure about a bunch of that sed
line. It must have come from a google search. But the parts I do recognize
(because they work in sed and in vi) are the s/.../.../g parts. Those are
search and replace statements. The second one "s/[a-zA-Z&;]//g" looks for
all alpha characters and replaces them with nothing. So if the grep line
returns "Saskatoon Crazy Heavy Snow -40C" that search and replace will
strip out the alpha characters leaving only -40.
Have a great day,
Robert

Re: [RDD] Temperature controlled jingles

[Robert Orr]

Hi Jamie,
I have 80 carts numbered from 3460 to 3540 that contain the temperatures
from minus 40 to plus 40. In actuality, each of those carts has a dj
reading "it's minus 40 in Saskatoon" or "it's minus 39 in Saskatoon" ...
etc.
All the audio for carts in Rivendell are stored in /var/snd ie. the audio
for cart number 3460 is /var/snd/003460_001.wav so here's what my script
does:
cd /var/snd#change directory to /var/snd
rm -f canada_e.html
wget -q http://text.weatheroffice.gc.ca/canada_e.html  #grab the text
version of the temperature website
j=`cat canada_e.html |grep Saskatoon |sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/ wrote:

Here's mine. I have 80 carts prerecorded with "It's 15 degrees in

every 20 minutes via crontab and I have cart 4000 inserted in my log

Easiest way I know to convert from ogg to wav is oggdec. You can even

Re: [RDD] no import formats other than PCM

[Robert Orr]

Correct about the edit host -> Audio Resources.  Reinstall would not
be fun... It's my current on-air box. I'll look to see that I have the
rpms. Yes I'm pretty sure that the appliance had those import formats
at install and then lost them some how.

[RDD] no import formats other than PCM

[Robert Orr]

Hi,
I installed Centos Appliance on a new machine and imported my database
from my old 1.7 build. I added a new host based on my 1.7 host but the
new one only shows PCM 16 and oggvorbis for import formats. (and
oggvorbis files don't import correctly, they just produce a half
second of silence cut). The other hosts show all the regular import
formats. I've messed around a bunch with this box trying to get other
things working so I certainly could have messed up some permissions or
other things. Where should I start to fix this problem? This is
currently my on-air box.

I use a mysql command to get my playout logs instead of creating a

SELECT Production_SRT.EVENT_DATETIME, CART.TITLE, CART.ARTIST,
CART.COMPOSER, Production_SRT.LENGTH, CART.LABEL, CART.ALBUM FROM
`Production_SRT` LEFT JOIN CART ON Production_SRT.CART_NUMBER =
CART.NUMBER WHERE (Production_SRT.EVENT_DATETIME BETWEEN "2012-02-26

Re: [RDD] Rivendell randomizing cuts in a cart doesn't seem to be "random enough"

[Robert Orr]

Hi Patrick,
Here's a quote from the news file:
v1.0.0rc0 -- 04/10/2008
snip
Changes:
  Random Cut Rotation Retired.  The ability to schedule cuts to rotate
  'randomly' within a cart has been removed, with all cut rotation now
  using the original 'sequential' algorithm.

Re: [RDD] More Scheduling and Top of the Hour Questions

[Robert Orr]

Not quite sure you understand how the internal scheduler fills slots.
If it sees a slot (pie slice), it puts a song of any length there. The
slot could be 10 seconds long. It would put one song of any length
there. The slot could be 35 minutes long... it would put one song of
any length there. It's merely the number of slots or pie slices that
determines how many songs will be placed per hour. If you want six
Bronze songs in the hour... put six Bronze pie slices of any  length
in the hour.

Have a great day,
Robert

Re: [RDD] More Scheduling and Top of the Hour Questions

[Robert Orr]

You can have 20  three minute pie slices in the clock (if your songs average
over 3 minutes, that would mean your hour would have several minutes more
than it needs... in Matthew's case that works out to 63-65 minutes of music
per hour) and if you have a hard timed event either make next or start
immediately at 59:59 it would skip the last several songs.
Hope that helps,
