Re: [RDD] RDLibrary space left indicator
I had something similar and when the space did "run out" the bar and estimated space shot back up and the process repeated, plenty of space left on the drive. I never got to the bottom of it. MP2 for me on Ubuntu 14.04.

[RDD] Free space in RDLibrary
Where does the bar at the bottom of RDLibrary get it's calculation about free space? I have a 160GB drive and when I started importing it reported only a few hours available. I switched to MP2 and it increased to about 19 hours. I was only doing some testing so I paid it no mind but I did notice that the RDLibrary on a client machine reported a different number (by about 2 hours). Today I realised my drive was still pretty empty and started importing a lot more audio. Now the bar has jumped up and is flitting around the 29-32 hour mark as I import. Any idea what's causing that? I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 with the Tryphon repo. -- Stephen Ward Admin - radio.unios.hr <http://aukondk.com> ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Conference?
The biggest problem I found with screen recording on Linux is most of them have the audio get wildly out of sync with the video, obviously a big problem when demoing Rivendell! That said I recently found that simplescreenrecorder works well with syncing and I've been using it to do some Minecraft vids. I've not tried it yet but it has JACK support: http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/recording-game-audio/ Steve (aukondk) On 7 November 2014 03:03, Brian McKelvey wrote: > This is a great idea!

Re: [RDD] NEW PLATFORM
All the stuff I used to do on forums I now do on Reddit. Are there enough Redditors in the Rivendell community to warrant a subreddit? I've never started one myself so I don't know how much work it is to start and administer, but it's likely easier than a forum.

Re: [RDD] Importing multiple files into rdlibrary via rdimport.
Could you post the exact command you are running? I had a feeling that you might have used the windows style path with backslashes instead of forward but I tested that and that would have errored with 'Can't open "ElementsMUSICsub*.mp3" Skipping'. So far I can only replicate your error with using spaces instead of slashes.

Re: [RDD] To what extent do I update RRAbuntu 1.13
Hi (again) Owen, RAAbuntu was build on an old version of Ubuntu and the project hasn't seen any activity in a long time. I suggest while you are learning you don't run any updates and just play with Rivendell. I'm currently doing a lot with Rivendell on Ubuntu and am working on a step by step guide to installing the latest Rivendell on newer versions of Ubuntu. I'll also look at the scripts RAAbuntu uses to see if they can be adapted to make a new LiveCD. I'll post it to the mailing list when it's done.

Re: [RDD] How to have MySQL save to second drive.
Hi Owen, You don't need to worry about pointing MySQL to the secondary drive as the database itself is very small. I have a library of over 2000 carts and backup file I made yesterday could fit on a floppy disk. What you need is to link the folder where all the .wav files are (/var/snd/) to your second drive. Luckily this is pretty simple in Linux using symbolic links. 1. Move the /var/snd folder to your secondary drive. On the command line type "sudo mv /var/snd /path/to/other/drive/snd" 2. Create a symbolic link. "sudo ln -s /path/to/other/drive/snd /var/snd" I've done it before with Rivendell and I do it a lot with my Linux systems (especially my Steam library!). Hope this helps, I suggest you Google any terms I used that are new to you just so you understand a little more about how they work.

[RDD] Post Point counter doesn't take currently playing cart into account?
I'm working on setting up Rivendell for a student radio. I'm using a clock with a cart playing hard at the top of the hour with random music/jingles for the rest. Once the log is generated I load it up in Airplay and set it playing at about the time in the log and use the post point counter to work out if I need to add or remove tracks to get roughly on time. However when I add or remove a cart from the log, it will only display the time difference of the carts not currently playing. It won't update until after the track has finished, or I come out of a "modify" dialog on the main log machine (not changing anything, just clicking "ok"). I was running 2.5.5 but took the risk of updating to 2.7 to see if the problem had been fixed but it's still there. Is this something that can be fixed? Maybe whatever trigger is made at the end of the "modify" dialog could be applied when a cart is added/removed to/from the log?
