Natural music will create a music schedule using the cart numbers music is on in RD which it will export as a text file.
You do have the same cart numbers in both systems. All music schedulers have this facility, and if you are lucky it does a RD specific one. The music schedule exported gets saved as tomorrows_music.txt or some such default name. Maybe ddmmyy.log .. the name is not important. save the file to a directory that can be accessed by RD. If NL is a windows program you can mount the directory it saves to as a directory on the RD server if you are on the same network /home/rd/musiclogs makes sense Otherwise sneaker net it over. Using RDADMIN Services>Production> you can then set the Music import to use the file created by natural log. You may need to look at the file in a text editor to see where NL puts the Time Cart Number Title Artist on each line, and NL will have to know where the music avails are on your clock(s) You have lined up both clocks so the music slots are the same. If you need to you can set up a custom import that picks up the data from each line of the text file and puts it in the right place in the RD Log. The test import lets you see if it works. [very useful] bit of fiddling and you have an import that you can run when you create the log. In an ideal setup the log creation and import of ads and music is done as a cron job. Don't forget the external music scheduler needs to be updated when music is added to Rivendell hope this helps regards Robert Jeffares Thames New Zealand On Fri, 2012-06-29 at 12:54 -0400, Matt Bond wrote: > I see this paragraph in the user manual: > > “5.0.6 Import Links An import link is a placeholder event that shows > where events imported from the external music or traffic scheduling > system will eventually go.
