In the end anyone has ever tried it? What was your scenario/setup? Mine is the following: - Studio1 (receiving system) with its audio files mounted in /var/snd. - Studio2 (sending system) with its audio files mounted in /var/snd. So far so good, two different and separated systems. Now: - From stud

Hello everybody, sometimes we face some crash of RDAirPlay. Guys found the system (Linux) perfectly running and working, but without RDAirPlay. Syslog does not report any crash or error so I do not know how to investigate further. These are last "working" lines: Nov 6 13:45:19 xtra caed: LoadPl

I've had Rdairplay go up in smoke with "foreign" characters in artist or title using the the rlm plugins. This was for Icecast mind. When a song played and possibly had an é like in josé it would just vanish. Known issue. I stopped using the rlm plugins. I didn't investigate any further. Cou

For the moment that station has only one rlm plugin, filewrite.rlm. From there we use curl to push infos all over the places we want. The song has played contains only a copyright char - (c) - in the publisher field. However rlm writes only title and artist (but maybe it reads all the infos) and al

Doesn't sound like the rlm then, but push the now playing using the "Configure Now & Next Parameters" from the RDAirplay config from the admin gui. I have the following string in the RML line RN echo %a - %t > /var/www/playingnow.txt! Maybe try that for for a while (change location to suit and

I will but I just found it fails with accents (tested with 'Beyoncé', which becomes 'Beyonc') and you cannot add new line chars, \n. Txt we write is %t\n%a\n%l\n and filewrite.rlm can deal with it on both aspects, while RN command passed into Airplay config doesn't. Confirm? Il giorno dom 8 nov 2

The RN text is a shell command, so you'll have to escape the substituted strings. Maybe this will work? RN echo '%a - %t' > /var/www/playingnow.txt! (I'm not near a machine I can test on, sorry) On Sun, Nov 8, 2015 at 10:53 AM Alessio Elmi wrote: > I will but I just found it fails with accent

Right, have a look how it writes Beyoncé or any other non English chars, or special one like $&/(#@, which nowdays are very common in titles or even in artist names. 2015-11-09 0:00 GMT+01:00 Richard Gorbutt : > I didn't use the '. I just did what the RD Wiki said. Worked off the bat for > me,. >

I'm taking over on the Rivendell system used at our church and I need to add some grids to handle music format changes as we approach Christmas. I suspect it's something that must be created in the Admin section, but I could be wrong. I also can't find the users manual that was reportedly ori

First I wouldn't update unless you think you need a feature in the newer version For adding a grid I think you want to add a service in rdadmin. Here's the newest manual though it's not very new: http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/docs/rog-1.3.0-1.pdf Hope that helps, Have a great day,
