I wonder if Geoff is reading this and what he does for Otago Access Radio for the 4 weekly reports per year for non-profit with Rivendell?

At present APRA/PPNZ don't request playlist information per their requirements for LPFM, but the clearly require the station to be in a possition to provide those reports on request - if they ask for samples in the future.

The thing I disagree with, is that you're limited to $10,000 turn over before you have to do full reports under a normal broadcast license. However, the software such as Selector or Bluegum that they recommend to output their reports makes an LPFM budget of $10,000 not really practical. I can easily blow that on new hardware to upgrade to RD 2.8 branch, new transmitter, console, mast and antenna and a grand just to get the copyright license for LPFM and online. That would maybe leave enough to pay a tech to give everything a clean bill of health.

The closest thing to an LPFM budget is Rivendell for it's features obviously. I've experimented with technical playout report but that doesn't appear to be enough. I need composer/author, record label, publisher and the CD spine number (catalogue) number in those outputs. So far I've made the output path \home\rduser\%y%m%d.txt but I've played audio over and over in RDAirPlay and nothing is showing up in that subdirectory. Granted I'm only on 1.7.2.

There must be someone in New Zealand or Australia running LPFM using RD and paying their public performance licenses legitimatelly and fulfilling the contract details on keeping reports should they request them? $10,000 anually is a tough ask before requiring expensive scheduling software for reporting.

Hi Gavin,

In short no, from what I have found there are no default report templates
that do this.

I too would be keen to see a APRA/PPNZ report added for Oceania stations
using Rivendell.

Paul.

Does Rivendell support output reports for APRA/PPNZ for use in Australia/New
Zealand in the newer version?
