I seem to recall a feature like that deep inside the Admin guts. Gonna go look later.
Here in Arlington VA, we have two side-by-side RD boxes running independently in one studio (why not? the software was free and computers are cheap!). Each runs its own log, based on a common template --- one we call "[day of week]_MAIN" and the other "[day of week]_ALT". They are essentially the same, except the ALT logs are filled with pre-recorded material instead of wide open spaces meant for live Talk talent to perform. If at the last second we find out someone is not available for their show, or an ISDN feed fails during a show, we flip over to the machine running the ALT log, which fills with a pretaped show and never miss a beat. Of course human intervention is involved, and we are pretty much staffed around the clock to handle such issues. Sometimes the Hand of Man is needed in certain situations. -AP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Reite" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2011 12:59:39 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [RDD] Fallback or "Emergency" log for RDAirPlay in case of missing log? Is there any way to make RDAirPlay load and play a "default" or "fallback" log in case the next days log is missing? As it stands now the system simply quits if the log being chained to is missing. Other automation systems such as Scott Studios let you define a "default" log that gets loaded if it can't find the next daily log. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
