When Jesus healed 10 lepers, only one came back to say "Thanks". I'd like to be remembered as the one who came back.
We now have the simplest of Rivendell operations running quietly and dependably and we're about to throw it on-line replacing the old IDJC system. Now it's up to me to comb knats out of the program flow. May I throw out 2 questions from an amateur to those who have already "invented the wheel"? Problem one: I routinely over-program music in quarter-hours in music clock hours and use a MAKE NEXT for the cutaway at 13:00 after. The problem comes with the next small feature which has a START TIME of 13:20. When the ending song hits 13:00 it correctly dumps excess and goes to the cutaway. BUT if the music goes yet another 20-seconds to 13:20 it makes the feature next-to-play and dumps the cutaway. How can I make the varying contents of each break line up and wait their turn even though they are technically "late"? Or do I have to make all parts of a particular break one EVENT to force them to stay in line? Problem two: (a cosmetic one) How do get an event with TIME but no AUDIO to actually SHOW UP on the scrolling log? Right now I have a full hours of LIVE worship service programming plugged into the grid. But when the log is generated any such live event reads as a REPEAT of the previous program during AirPlay. Rivendell executes correctly: it stops and waits for one hour and then automatically restarts on time. But it's confusing to look at on the AirPlay log. What's the "amateur" solution you've discovered? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on either of these. I think it may be quite a while until I feel qualified to offer any advice from here. I'm a "taker" rather than a "giver". Jerry
