[RDD] Moving Library From Machine to Another
I am planning to load into my new machine this weekend. I have a good bit of my library set with markers and would like to keep that. Upon looking into the wiki for help, I found the following article: Can I move just my audio carts to another Rivendell System? Q: I would like to do a total Rivendell database overhaul and basically start over with a new system setup. The only thing that I would like to keep is my music library. Is there a way that I can keep the music data (name, artist, album, scheduler codes, etc.) and easily integrate it back into a new rivendell database? A: You might want to check out the 'rivendell-filter' utility (part of the 'rivendell-importers' package), which was designed to do precisely this sort of thing --i.e. copy carts from one Rivendell DB to another.

I entered the above path and it gave me a no such file or directory error. Are there further directions elsewhere? Anyone have any tips on making this sort of move? Will moving the database do the same or just the data? -- brandon sossamon ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
Re: [RDD] Moving Library From Machine to Another
Hi Brandon The music library is the easiest part to duplicate. Are the computer or host names the same or are they different? If the are different you will need to go into rdadmin on your original machine and create the new host name. Now once that is done you back up the database in rdadmin. This backs up the MySQL database. Now copy the audio from /var/snd over to the new machine to the same directory. You'll have to check the permissions on the audio. Then you log into rdadmin on the new machine and restore the database. All your music should be in the new rdlibrary with all the relevant markers etc. I'm not sure exactly what aspects of your old system that you don't want but I'm assuming its clocks and grids etc. If that is it you may might want to make a new service in rdadmin. Don't put spaces in the service name. It can be a problem later. Duplicating the library will keep the play count numbers. They won't be zeroed. Let us know how you go.

[RDD] Moving Library From Machine to Another
Thanks, Geoff. There's not much to keep on the old machine. I was originally going to use it as my primary machine but discovered my AudioScience card doesn't fit. So...I took an old SS32 machine and rebuilt it last weekend with all new guts. I'm planning to install RD from the appliance CD this weekend so as far as host names, it's a blank slate. I assume I can follow the steps in the Migration article on the wiki ( http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Migrating_Systems). I'm new to all flavors of Linux so I'll have to figure out locating the audio files in /var/snd. I have RD installed on a laptop here at the office just to help get the feel of it and CentOS. This particular machine won't let me into /var/snd even if logged in as su or root. -- brandon sossamon ___ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev

Brandon, if you are using other then the appliance os your files may be in a different place use find / -name '*FILTER.txt' and you should track it down or locate if your system has it you need to be root It works fine You can also backup and restore and copy the /var/snd from the old system to the new system Robert On Thu, 2014-01-30 at 14:04 -0600, Brandon Sossamon wrote: I am planning to load into my new machine this weekend.

Re: [RDD] Moving Library From Machine to Another
Sorry. Maybe it's because I'm new to all of this but I am installing from the Paravel Appliance Disc which is CentOS. It has an early version of RD on it but updates once installed. Just for grins, I entered the path in the computer here and it came back with no results. There's a good chance I'm not doing something right. I'm a rookie at this so I may need a little step x step handholding. Am I entering it in a terminal or in the find files utility?
