Hi there...

I have a bit of an issue with Rivendell...  We use 1.7.2 on Ubuntu
Studio 10.something with ASI soundcards - so far so good.  I have an
upgrade to 2x planned around Easter.

We are a teaching university have have two on-air studios plus three
satellite studios.  They all share a ZFS audio share and MySQL
database on a server.

Unlike traditional radio settings, we use a highly corroborative
approach to put together our on-air content.  That is, many people put
together the logs etc.

We generate clocks but each show team comes in before their show to
edit their section of the day log... The typical way to do this is for
them to build their show in terms of playlist and promos in a 'scratch
log' before copy-pasting into the main log.

Our issue is that we are loosing a boat load of content, it seems that
this occurs when the log is open in more than one location... So the
log is being played out on RDAirPlay in Studio 1 but a user makes
changes to the log in Studio 2 on RDLogEdit - if the user in Studio 2
saves all their work but then someone in another studio saves also,
their work is lost.  It's causing total frustration for my users (100+
of them) and I am not sure how best to go about it other than using
the day logs only for automation and getting people to use their own
logs for live programming (an approach I want to avoid as it becomes
messy and difficult to manage).

To me the solution is to remove the 'save' button and have any changes
reflected live on every computer with that log open in an immediate
sense.  Either that or lock logs (e.g. 'this log is being edited at
location xyz, please close there before editing the log').

Thoughts/help?
