Re: [RDD] importing song data into Natural Music SOLVED
I can now successfully bulk import song data into Natural Music from Rivendell (Cart Data Dump csv) thanks to the Jamie Dominey technique below. It seems to work 100%. Thanks Jamie!

The only issue is that the csv file that RDLibrary produces and the csv file that Natural Music expects don't seem to be compatible. My work around for this is to use Google Sheets. I upload the file that RdLibrary produces and load it with Google Sheets. I don't make any changes to the file. I just select file, download and download it as a csv.

I wonder if I am missing some protocol or some language details, since it seems the message has not been noticed at all. However, the crash on of RdAirPlay is a real problem for us. Any help will be very appreciated. With gratitude, Meramar I think I addressed this issue long ago. We have been coping with this problem for almost a year. At least we know when RdAirPlay crashes, in our case. We have 4 workstations linked to a dedicated server for audio files and the mysql database. We installed Rivendell using the DVD Appliance. Our Rivendell's version is up to date. When does RdAirplay crashes in our system? When a producer is doing Voice Tracking and a Auto-refresh is executed and, for a fraction of time (seconds or fraction of a second) the cart that RdAirplay is playing struggles or stops. How did we reproduced the crash? 1. We set our system to auto refresh. 2. We load Rdairplay, making sure that no cart will be playing. 3. A voice tracker saves his/her track 4. RdAirplay crashes! If RdAirplay is playing a cart or has played a cart of the log and for some reason, at the moment of the Refresh, there is not cart playing, RdAirplay DOES NOT crash. So we suspect that we get this crashes, as I explained, during a refresh, after a voice track has been saved and only if RdAirplay strugles, reloads and for a fraction of time no cart is playing. Sorry that I can't use technical jargon to explain the problem. Maybe one of the developers can take a look a this situation. Most of the time our system works fine. However, it would be great if the problem could be fixed.

In my case I have a Broadcast Tools ACS 8.2 switcher with GPIO capability that Rivendell fully supports. I will assume you have some sort of GPIO capability: You then wire the switch up to a GPIO input, and configure the trigger in rdadmin to play a macro. It is quite buried: Manage Hosts > [Host] > RDAirplay > Switchers GPIO > Switchers > [Swithcher/GPIO] > Configure GPIs. You then tell the GPI to run on macro on either "ON" or "OFF" (could depend on how the switch is wired) The Macro then just needs to have this command in it: PL 1! (for Play Log 1) If you also want to switch from "live Assist" to "Auto" mode, you will also need to add that command: PM 2 1!

Still having issues with this version. Possibly my previous posts were not clear because I was on air at the time. The OS is Centos 6.5 and the issues are as follows: Audio won't play in Edit Log. This only happens on tracks where the cut end marker has been moved closer to the end of audio (which is mosly songs in my case). It wasn't an issue on the previous version. And in RDAirplay the Audition buttons are working back to front. Is this a bug, or is the usually seamless Centos update process now a problem?

Recently made the switch to the latest Centos Appliance and have been happy except for the NFS performance.

[RDD] segfault issue
This morning RDAirplay disappeared and the audio stopped. I had a similar issue a while back, where RDAirplay runs perfectly for about 100 days and then crashes and shows a segfault on the system log. A reboot seems to fix it for a few months. Does anyone have any ideas? Is 100 days a reasonable amount of uptime for s system like this? It's Rivendell 1.7.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 networked to 2 other computers.

Need some help troubleshooting an RDAirplay crash this morning. The system is Ubuntu 10.04 with Rivendell 1.7.1 networked to a couple of workstations. It has been running non stop for 180 days.

[RDD] segmentation fault
I did a bad thing. During a database restore on the backup computer, I've ended up with a segmentation fault when I try to start rdadmin. I've completed a few database restore's before using the Rivendell Migrating Systems instructions on the Wiki, and they have all ended well. This time I may have become over confident and deviated from the written word :-[ The system is RRAbuntu. Is there anyway to save this system without a re-install?

[RDD] Event title separation
Thanks for the replies. Morten - when you say the figure is the number of carts - does that refer to the number of carts played in that particular Event, or the overall number of carts generated such as songs id's etc?

Hi all, Using Rivendell on Ubuntu 10.04. Had a problem with the soundcards swapping numbers after rebooting, so I edited alsa-base.conf which fixed the issue. But now alsa mixer won't open and gives an "invalid argument". I tried removing the changes to alsa-base.conf, but it still won't launch (even after saving and a reboot).

[RDD] Natural Log traffic question
Recently purchased Natural Log traffic for a RD system I am working on. After a small amount of effort (and Wiki reading) I was able to internally generate music on RD and then merge the traffic log that Natural Log had created. It worked perfectly. The problem is, it only works with one RD clock. When I created another clock with different hourly spot start times, the spots were missing from that hour. I tried editing the Natural Log template break start times to match the new clock - still no spots. The Natural Log text file looks normal, so I'm thinking it's something I've overlooked in Rivendell. Any suggestions would be very much appeciated!
