The old filesystem effectively becomes read-only as the writes are all redirected to the new filesystem. This lets you progressively move old files to the new drive, without any downtime, assuming your system supports hotplugging of new drives.

[RDD] HPI drivers on Debian Jessie → ASI5020
Hello! I am seeking advice on how to install the AudioScience HPI drivers on this Jessie box, for my ASI5020 card. As of today, the latest version of the driver is 4.16.07 (released on 2016-02-08) but it seems like they dropped support for the 5020 in the 4.14.00 release (2014-11-04), although only the release notes mention it; the download page still says that 50xx are supported. [1] Browsing ASI's site, the latest "old release" I can find is version 3.14.12 [2]. It seems like all releases between 3.14.12 and 4.16.07 were removed from AudioScience's download archives. Tryphon repositories package hpklinux-source v.4.08.07, yet for some reason, the Jessie package does not include the source, just READMEs and a changelog. I have been able to find v.4.04.07 of the drivers on an old Rivendell download page [3] but this one does not build due to differences in kernel (after patching a reference to version.h: "Fatal error: kernel firmware_class module required"). I figured I could either: - Install everything on a machine with a very old kernel. > I would rather run it on a more recent system, though. - Try to locate the latest version <4.14.00 (on the off chance that: 1. they build properly 2. they do support the 50xx series) - Hack the latest compatible driver I can find so that it builds on a recent kernel > I would rather do something else (or get paid for doing it), and I am not sure I can accomplish that alone without significant effort. Any advice?

Re: [RDD] Twitter RLM Status?
Correct me if I am wrong, but if one were to write a Twitter OAuth RLM, the authentication state could be saved in a local cookie, whose path would be determined e.g. by an environment variable. That cookie can then be opened at runtime. However it requires one to write such a plugin.

Overall, it is mostly a question of performance. The database is on the same machine as the actual playout (rdairplay): Are you doing your accounting on the playout machine? Yes: Please dedicate another machine for this task. If there is no way around this, then create a new database for your billing purposes. No: Install MySQL on the machine on which you are doing the billing. The database system is on a separate machine: Create a new database for billing. Make sure you allocate enough resources so that concurrent use will not slow down the Rivendell database. Overall, this kind of setup is very common, nothing in particular should happen (e.g. corruption). Consider moving the Rivendell database back to the playout machine. If budget is tight, consider alternatives like setting up a Raspberry Pi with an external USB drive (total about $100). It could make a decent database server, ideal for low performance tasks, that you can hide anywhere convenient. Don't put the Rivendell database on it, though. -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

I am not aware that it is not recommended to convert between different engines. In any case, you have the option of exporting your data and re-importing it in the second table, however keep in mind that there are differences between engines, notably MyISAM will not enforce foreign key constraints and does not provide transaction capabilities, therefore you might hit walls when trying to import "mostly valid" data into an engine that strictly enforces constraints.

Re: [RDD] Unable to finish compiling Rivendell 2.9 because of an unknown error
Also I just noticed that you are building the package as root. It is generally considered a Bad Idea(tm) to run the compile job as root. Only the `make install` part should be run as root, and usually it is preferred to have a sandboxed task prepare a package instead, which in turn will be installed by the package manager of your distro.

Re: [RDD] most of it works
Anyone, correct me if I am wrong, but the recommended setup is to have the RD PCM streams in /etc/asound.conf in order to "assign" the card to Rivendell, and configure your own .asoundrc so that it either provides "null" output as default to your apps or route it to an additional sound card. If you set Rivendell in your .asoundrc, your desktop manager (KDE, Gnome, etc.) will likely still pick up the default sound card and then "hog" it.

[RDD] Fwd: Makefile patch suggestion
Since I did not get any feedback the first time I submitted this
email, I am resubmitting it so that more people see it. The reason I
am submitting this patch is so that the packaging process becomes more
portable to Linux distributions other than the big fours
(Debian/Ubuntu, Centos, Slackware, Gentoo).
While this patch was explicitly engineered for the Arch Linux
"makepkg" package building system, I believe it is of adequate
portability to integrate it to the codebase and that it will probably
benefit other distributions who have a similar build system.
Note that one of these fixes (the "lib64" one, details in original
post) needs to be factored out as I could not figure out a way to
guess the conventions of a specific system (on Arch, there is no
"lib64", but there is a "lib32" only on "multilib" systems, which are
truly 64-bit systems that include 32-bit libraries for compatibility
reasons; pure 32-bit systems will have a "lib" directory but no
"lib32/64"). I would like some guidance or feedback on how to fix this
once and for all.

Subject: Makefile patch suggestion
To: Rivendell Users Group
Hello all,
I spent the last few hours tweaking the Makefiles in Rivendell so that
it will compile seamlessly on Arch Linux systems.
Attached is an unified diff-formatted patch to address some issues
with the Makefile system.
I made my changes in such a way that they should not affect other
system, except for a few small details. Here is the list of
modifications:
###
- cae/Makefile.am
Problem: caed depends on pthread, but for some reason it does not
get included.
Solution: add -lpthread to "caed_LDADD" variable.
- configure.in:
Problem: a lib path of "lib64" is forced for 64-bit systems. Some
systems (e.g. Arch) keep "/usr/lib" as path for "default"
architecture, and have a "lib32" directory instead for multilib
installations.
Solution: I am not an autotools expert and I could not devise a
way to make it work for distributions that have "lib64" as a default
for 64-bit systems. On Arch, the standard is lib/lib32 on 64-bit
system and only "lib" on 32-bit. Other projects have defined an
additional variable (LIB_SUFFIX) which is set by configure during
compilation using "-DLIB_SUFFIX=64". This modification is therefore
incompatible with 64-bit distros that have lib64 as the default lib
path. This is a hack that should probably not be committed to repo.
- lib/Makefile.am
Problem: libtool can't figure out that librd.la needs to be linked
against some libraries
Solution: specify those libraries manually, in "librd_la_LDADD"
- pam_rd/Makefile.am
Problems: 1- out-of-directory packaging breaks libtool as it
tries to relink the library to a non-final directory, 2- installation
path does not honor prefix. On my system, the PAM libraries are in
/usr/lib/security/.
Solution: specify "inst_prefix_dir" [1] and add $(prefix) to "inst_libdir".
- rdselect/Makefile.am
Problem: multiple parallel job compilation (make -j) usually fails
because it tries to "chmod" a file that was not yet installed
Solution: rename target "install-exec-local" to "install-exec-hook". [2]
- {icons,rlm,scripts,web/rdxport,xdg}/Makefile.am
Problem: $(DESTDIR) not set, making staged installs impossible
Solution: add $(DESTDIR) accordingly. Note that I did not fix the
"uninstall" counterparts as I did not need to.

I think it was a long-known, but unresolved issue that log names containing
dashes (-) would fail generating. I worked around this issue by using
underscores (_) instead. It is great that you tracked at least part of the
problem to these lines of code. Unfortunately, many such cases exist in the
Rivendell codebase, and in my opinion most of the SQL part would benefit
greatly from a overhaul (which is very hard work in itself).
I think that the only supported database engine for Rivendell is MyISAM,
which is the engine that Rivendell should have used when creating your
databases.

[RDD] Cut dayparting bug when using MariaDB
Hey everyone,
We are running an older version of Rivendell here (2.1.1), but we had to
upgrade our MySQL install to version 5.5. As we are using Arch Linux, it
has been replaced by MariaDB. Upgrade was seamless except for one (major)
detail: dayparting would no longer work. The only cuts that would play were
EVERGREEN ones.
I have tracked down the bug to an incompatible SQL line, in lib/rdcart.cpp,
function RDCart::selectCut(QString *cut,const QTime &time) const (line 72
in v2.1.1, 86 in 2.6.0):
select CUT_NAME,WEIGHT,LOCAL_COUNTER
from CUTS where
(
(
(START_DATETIME<="$1") &&
(END_DATETIME>="$2")
) ||
(START_DATETIME is null)
) &&
(
(
(START_DAYPART<="$3") && (END_DAYPART>="$4")
|| START_DAYPART is null
)
) &&
($5="Y") &&
(CART_NUMBER=$6) &&
(EVERGREEN="N") &&
(LENGTH>0)
order by LOCAL_COUNTER
$1-4 are the current time (in format "-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"), $5 is the day
of the week in short format (e.g. "MON" for Monday) and $6 is the cart
number. The issue with this line is that MySQL would implicitly convert
e.g. "2013-12-31 19:00:00" to "19:00:00" for columns START_DAYPART and
END_DAYPART, because of their type (TIME). MariaDB, unless I am mistaken,
does not, and therefore the times in the database are interpreted as
offsets from the Unix epoch, that is comparing "17:01:00" (value in
database) to "2013-12-31 17:00:00" (current time) results in a conversion
to ( "1970-01-01 17:01:00" <> "2013-12-31 17:00:00" ), which means
END_DAYPART would always be smaller than the current time (thus, no
scheduling of that cut).
Using full timestamps as values for TIME types is undocumented, therefore I
have fixed it by casting the timestamp to a second string, time_str, with
format "hh:mm:ss", then using it for variables $3 and $4.
I have included a patch in this email. Apply with `patch -p1 < `,
when in rivendell source directory. This fix should not break compatibility
with MySQL, but I did not test it.
Is there a bug tracker for the Rivendell project?

Liquidsoap has an "on_blank" function that can detect silence and then act on it. It supports two callbacks; one for silence detection and one for noise detection. It can run system commands or even output Jack audio data. You could even use it to generate a backup stream from either another Icecast mountpoint or from static files in a directory. We have it running on a web stream that we send using Icecast. On silence, it will log the event, send an email to the managers and switch to a backup source that's actually a directory filled with songs that it will play in shuffle (with crossfades), and every 40-ish seconds, it ducks the program and plays excuse messages from another directory. If you don't need it to do this, you could always send the generated Liquidsoap content to a dummy output. In our case, the main program is taken from a line-in input, and the program is encoded in both MP3 and Vorbis and streamed to a distant Icecast server. All this is running on an old 1.60GHz Pentium 4. Send me an email me if you need pointers on how to set-up Liquidsoap... -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

Many users have used Liquidsoap to build web streaming engines, and you can tune it so that it will detect silence and play an alternative source such as a static playlist, send you an email or switch a relay to another input or anything, basically.

Re: [RDD] M-Audio Delta 44 +4db Output
Regarding the decibel terminology, I have to nitpick on one point: a dB is not the same as a dBu/dBv. A straight "dB" is always a relative scale unit, and can only be used to compare things together. A dBu (or dBv) is an actual, absolute unit, that happens to use the decibel scale. So "0 dBu" is equal to the power of 1 mW going through a 600 ohm resistance. That is why gain in an amplifier (whether a speaker power amplifier or a tiny transistor) is counted in simple decibels (dB) since they compare the input to the output in the logarithmic scale (decibel scale). However, when you measure the output of a sound mixer, you may use the dBu unit as it refers to actual, physical quantities.

You might not be able to do this from fstab. NTFS support for Linux is most of the time provided by NTFS-3G, which is a now fully mature project. NTFS-3G runs in userspace, through FUSE, and thus requires no special kernel module to work. it features full read and write support, and many other features of NTFS.

Re: [RDD] Temperature controlled jingles
Have a script that fetches the weather from some public API like forecast.io and this script will put the appropriate cart number in a known file (e.g. /var/tmp/weather). Then you have a cart which is actually a RML command that runs a shell script. This shell script will check the timestamp on /var/tmp/weather, and if it's recent enough (if there's a problem, you don't want to repeat yesterday's forecast), have the shell script add the number in that file as a cart, through rmlsend. That's lots of callbacks, I know, but I think the data freshness is worth it. Wish there was a better way to do that in Rivendell...

You could refactor your RDcatch automatic download into an external script that would be ran by RDCatch instead. This script can get today's date, add one, then get tomorrow's file.

Re: [RDD] Invalid Cart...but it's not....
Kind of a hack, but are you able to download the carts the day before, during the evening? Are you able to enable auto log refreshes? That would surely fix your problems. However, failing so, maybe you can craft a small Rivendell macro that can add the cart right before it will play. From the wiki: > ADD NEXT > Mneumonic: PX > Syntax: > PX ! > > Insert cart in the next to play position on log machine . You would have to put that command right at the place you want to play your cart. Maybe add some padding (1s delay) as I am not too sure if it could maybe execute it too fast. -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Invalid Cart...but it's not....
Maybe the log is not refreshed when the cart is updated with today's content... Is that cart playing on the same day that it is downloaded? I suspect that when your log is loaded at midnight, the cart is not yet available, so at that time it was invalid.

Usually, in most database implementations for lists, the primary key is an ID that is entirely managed by the database. It is most often set as an autoincrement key, so that the client should not have to worry about counting the primary key, or avoiding collisions when others edit the same table at the same time, etc. It seems that Rivendell explicitly sets the primary key... > insert into `2013_01_15_LOG` set ID=47,COUNT=47,TYPE=0, > SOURCE=3,START_TIME=82807000,GRACE_TIME=0, >CART_NUMBER=999003,TIME_TYPE=0,POST_POINT="N", > TRANS_TYPE=1,COMMENT=""; > ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '47' for key 'PRIMARY' > mysql> > rdlogmanager: invalid SQL or failed DB connection: insert into > `2013_01_15_LOG` set ID=8,COUNT=8,TYPE=1, > SOURCE=3,START_TIME=3607000,GRACE_TIME=-1, > CART_NUMBER=0,TIME_TYPE=0,POST_POINT="N", > TRANS_TYPE=1,COMMENT="End\ song" Watch out! Both could be different errors! The one you get by typing the command is due to the line already existing in the log. However, rdlogmanager is complaining that it either could not even connect to the MySQL server, or it got disconnected while executing the query (or else MySQL thought the query was syntactically incorrect). One thing you could do, is wipe the entire table, do some memorable operation (e.g. create some random table named as a timestamp) then generate the log with rdlogmanager (make sure it was all set up before creating that table; you don't want irrelevant queries to show up in the database logs). Afterwards, find the mysql logs with your favorite admin tool, and fetch the line containing the timestamp: now everything that follows this line is related to the log generation. -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] RDLogmanager and clocks
I don't have an answer for your problem, but regarding MySQL indexes, that should not be a problem. Databases are supposed to work properly even when indexes are missing. The only drawback are performance issues, when trying to sort, or fetching a specific row in the table, based on that column (e.g. "WHERE col_name > value") UNIQUE constraints are a subclass of indexes, but these are explicitly defined at table creation (or later, for that matter), and if they are missing, you will simply risk having multiple inserts for the same values (might be bad for a Rivendell log, but MySQL will definitely not complain). I am not sure how the mysql library works this out, but I think the multiple inserts with the same ID are due to the SQL command or library failing to execute, then the log manager skips to the next one, to finally quit due to errors... This is a blind guess, but is it possible that you upgraded Rivendell without upgrading the database? ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

[RDD] Python module for Rivendell
Hi there, I wanted to let you all know that I am working on a Python module for Rivendell. For the moment, it does not do much, but I plan to add many features. It is currently in active development. You can get it on Github ( http://github.com/sebleblanc/python-rivendell ). If you encounter any problems with it, do not hesitate to fill an issue on the bug tracker ( http://github.com/sebleblanc/python-rivendell/issues ) or to ping me on the mailing list. Right now, what might be of interest is the "normalize.py" utility, which allows one to normalize carts according to loudness levels as set by EBU R128 standards. Required is libebur128, and sox if you actually want to modify the files on the hard drive. (by default it updates the "play_gain" value in the CUTS database table) Cheers! ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Newbie GPIO question
Sorry for the multiple responses... As for what you should do, you should use physical resistors (that would be my prefered solution) as software switches can sometimes, accidentally or for no apparent reason, get reset and then you get erratic behaviour. Those pull-(up|down) resistor software switches actually enable real, internal resistors inside the chips. Using physical resistors outside of the chips will not affect wether the internal ones are enabled or not, so you are better off using physical resistors. -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

If you leave it floating, its behaviour is only defined by the electronic design. If you physically extend the pins using a cable, then this cable acts as an antenna. You must therefore use pull-up or pull-down resistors to force a known set. A pull-up resistor connects the input to a higher voltage (+5V, e.g.) while a pull-down resistor brings it to ground (0V). Your input will still be connected to the input pin. To find the resistor values, some maths are involved. You need to use a resistor high enough so that it will not disturb your signal source, but you need a value small enough so that it does not seem as if there was nothing connected at all. For switches and simple components, you may use a simple >1K, <1M resistor. -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

Re: [RDD] Trouble compiling (missing -lpthread option for CAE)
I forgot to mention that I am using Arch Linux, which follows some particular guidelines concerning the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard). Namely, packages should not add files in /usr/libexec or /usr/local. Scripts in the user repository must call "make install" with a specific $(DESTDIR) variable. In this case, it is built from another variable, that is DESTDIR="$pkgdir". What I found out however, is that some Makefile.am files are inconsistent with the rest: most have $(DESTDIR) in front of the targets for `install`, and some do not. This causes the make process to fail with errors. I had to make a couple of patches to these files and run autogen.sh to rebuild the Makefile.in files. Now the package builds, but it is missing some files (daemon scripts and /var/run/rivendell special directories) because they are still copied with "hard" names. They try to install to /etc/init.d instead of $pkgdir/etc/init.d, and I am having a hard time figuring out how the Makefile scripts are crafted... Also there is something wrong with the configure.in script: it forces the RD_LIB_PATH to lib64 on x86_64 platforms. The script should test if the variable is already defined (passed through ./configure) and not override it. Arch Linux, on x86_64, uses "lib" for 64-bit libraries and "lib32" for 32-bit. -- Sébastien Leblanc ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
[RDD] Trouble compiling (missing -lpthread option for CAE)
Hello all, I had problems compiling the latest Rivendell release (2.1.3). When getting to compile 'cae', I would get this error: http://pastebin.com/dNCQNNB5 (undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.2.5') I managed to make it compile by adding '-lpthread' to the command line. Then I ran make again and everything went ok. However, I am working on an installation script, and obviously, I cannot ask the user to type this command manually. I don't know enough of autotools and I would like to know if somebody could help me or give some pointers as to how I could fix that. I thought of a couple of ways: > Running ./configure, then through shell scripting, add -lpthread to the LIBS > array in cae/Makefile, then run make. Pros: quick and dirty Cons: hackish, fragile > Adding -lpthread to configure.in substitutions and then adding @PTHREAD@ to > cae/Makefile. I feel this is the right way to do it (could be wrong, I am still not sure how autotools works) but I would like to know Fred Gleason's advice on this. I figure that if it's not already there, then there must be something different about my system... I am running configure with options "--libexecdir=/srv/http/rd-bin --prefix=/usr".
