Hi,   Just to stick my head above the parapet.   I’m actually the person behind the Radiotools site, so I just wanted to make clear that “Airpro” exists really in name only to refer to Rivendell 2.19.3 with a few patches and internationalisations for the UK. The naming is because I provide

Be aware this is Oracle, if you ever shake hands on a deal with them, count your fingers afterwards. It's "binary compatible" but the upgrade script and installer don't make it binary compatible, that requires hoops to be jumped  through. Instead by default the upgrade or install will use

I’ve seen this very behaviour in 3.2.0 but I’ve only tested it with my rather Rube Golberg like Ubuntu build, so assumed it was that. Rivendell gets to the top of the hour and on the “make next” event does a “core dumped" qstring.h, line 699 error. I’ve opened a ticket but not yet been able to

We use a Nextcloud server for this. /var/snd is synced between all machines (on and off site) and once a day a shell script makes a database backup to the same folder. This allows us to make a production machine a master in minutes (just edit rc.conf to use the machines local MySQL server and

This sounds like the crazy defaults of CentOS where the majority of space can end up allocated to /home rather than the system as a whole. You might want to check your disk partitioning.   Jonathan   From: rivendell-dev-boun...@lists.rivendellaudio.org On Behalf Of Mark Murdock Sent: 27

Hi all,   It’s taken me ages to work out what caused the year field on random carts to vanish, but by pure chance I’ve found it. We’re running 2.19.2 in on air at the moment, so I was wondering if this has been reported or fixed in later versions (my Google foo is weak tonight) or if it’s an

We use Nextcloud to sync the entire /var/snd folder to each client rather than rsync. Advantages are it can work securely with or without a VPN, which is then only required for remote clients to connect to the SQL database (we use OpenVPN for that part).   Best regards, Jonathan   From:

Just FYI, we use Owncloud to sync /var/snd between all machines, even local ones, which seems to work well and also means any machine can be made a standalone machine at short notice. However for remote users we have then remote desktop to a local machine using Guacamole and share the audio

For FM RDS and online, I’ve written a small Windows program that receives the data via UDP from Rivendell and saves it to a text file. This is then used to feed the RDS encoder, using it’s own app that polls the saved file. If that app is of any use it’s available free on my site (shameless

Not related to Rivendell_filter and I'm not sure it would cope with 6 tracks, but I wrote some crude PHP scripts that export and import carts in bulk between 2.19.2 systems, keeping all the segue and other data and also allowing export and import between systems with different sample rates.
