I have an unusual situation: station A has three studios and six remote feeds (via Barix boxes). Rivendell selects which one to put on the air via a Broadcast Tools 16x4 switcher.
Station B is in another market, but co-owned with station A. It has one locakl studio and a hard drive full of pre-recorded stuff but takes programming from station A for part of the day.
To get station A on the air, its Rivendell box tell sits local switcher to put the feed from A on line, and then it rmlsends to station A's Rivendell box to select the correct studio or Barix feed to send to B.
Most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't; the ripcd log at A shows thst the UDP datagrams from B don't always arrive and if one is missed, B gets silence instead of the desired program.
So, today I set up a couple of Perl scripts to establish a TCP connection to A to transmit the desired rml, which is then rmlsended to localhost at A. That has worked 100% of the time so far, but I'm curious how others here have nandled this problem.
