Hello. I have went through the database on my Rivendell 2.1.0 system under Ubuntu Studio 11.10 and set all my music carts' play order from 0 to 1 to indicate to play cuts randomly.
It doesn't seem random enough. It's like if I was playing a regular rotation except the cuts are in different order; they only get randomized once. I tried executing a script to clear all play counters of the cuts and clear the Production_SRT table containing the history. What happens is the system simply begins playing at the same order it had before... it doesn't randomize it again. Example a cart with cut numbers 1 2 3 4 and 5 will play in the order 1 2 3 4 5 when I have the play order set to 0... sequential. Now with the random order (play counter 1), it ALWAYS starts with cut 1, then maybe it'll play in an order such as 1 2 4 3 5. But when I clear all counters and logs, the system simply goes back to playing in the same random order as before, ex 1 2 4 3 5... it doesn't re-randomize the cut orders. Is there any way to remedy this situation? I'd like to be able to have a new different cut order in my carts each day with my script clearing and resetting the counters and logs in the Rivendell mysql database (or if you know of additional things I have to do in the database please let me know). Sorry if this sounds confusing.
