Re: [RDD] Hello guys
This begs the question how does one insure a full days log? My logs are short by a few hours.

Re: [RDD] Hello guys
Hi Andrejs, I don't have Riv in front of me to check but you use log chains in your logs to automatically go to the next log/day when it has finished. This works fine if you can guarantee your timings but if you have any sort of live shows with presenters who don't pay attention you might find your midnight change over is all over the place. This can lead to odd cuts in songs when things realign for hourly news or whatever. What I did to fix this was to use the aux log. I had two events there. About 10 seconds before midnight I did a make next on the log chain. 5 seconds before the midnight swap I did a fade down and play next which got the log to swap over on time with a nicer fade rather than a hard cut. My logs were always over filled to help prevent dead air at this point.

[RDD] Hello guys
Hello, everybody. I'm new to Rivendell. I would ask to help. Is it possible to preload log in Rivendell. How to make, that at night when the log is playing, when 20 seconds are left until the end, the next day log is preloaded. -- Best regards, Andrejs Grigorjevs ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Hello guys
Welcome Andrejs, http://wiki.rivendellaudio.org/ is a great place to start. Logs are created using RDLOGMANAGER and will have a CHAIN command at the end if you have checked the 'chain to' box in RIVENDELL > CONFIGURATION RDADMIN > MANAGE SERVICES > EDIT SERVICE. Making sure the log rolls over at midnight can be achieved in a number of ways. I place a timed event just before midnight with one song after it which works for me. If you have a 'news on the hour' format you may use another shell script to force the issue. You need to become familiar with CRON, CRONTAB, and Shell Scripts in bash. lots of info on line about all of these. Log creation is manual but can be automated with a shell script. - snip --- #!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=:0.0 date >/home/rd/advanceLogGeneration.log $hostname >>/home/rd/advanceLogGeneration.log #make log for Production /usr/bin/rdlogmanager -g -s Production -d 8 >>/home/rd/advanceLogGeneration.log #clean up log perms and put in one place chown rd:users /home/rd/*.log # send a report cat /home/rd/advanceLogGeneration.log |mail -s "$(hostname) Log Report" some...@somewhere.com exit 0 - snip --- The originator called it sustainLogGen.sh The help file explains rdlogmanager --help rdlogmanager [-P] [-g] [-m] [-t] [-r ] [-d ] [-e ] -s -P Do not overwrite existing logs or imports. -g Generate a new log for the specified service. -m Merge the Music log for the specified service. -t Merge the Traffic log for the specified service. -r Generate report . -d Specify a start date offset. For log operations, this will be added to tomorrow's date to arrive at a target date, whereas for report operations it will be added to yesterday's date to arrive at a target date. Default value is '0'. -e Specify an end date offset. This will be added to yesterday's date to arrive at a target end date. Valid only for certain report types.
