I've been thinking more about it. The dropbox is a possibility. I don't know what to do about timing things except that you'd put a slot for news items once an hour and if there wasn't an item it wouldn't play. Pad the logs so there is extra time then time-start the station ID at the top of the upcoming hour.
Been thinking that there needs to be a web server for reporters with 2-factor authentication. They could file an item and check a box to air it. The station would have all the stories on a scrolling page and only the author and the news director could change it. There needs to be a start-end set when the item is filed and the system needs to handle killing the item when the end time comes. The web server could be outside the station and Rivendell could ftp to the server and get any audio that's there. The server would offer the automation system all the audio that's flagged for air. It would be like ftp'g a network program. Bill On 1/6/13 12:01 PM, VE4PER/ Andy wrote: > > On 06/01/13 18:16, Bill Putney wrote: >> Since we had a water main break downtown this morning...
