After installing the latest appliance the following were really frustrating:
The user account 'rd' is set to belong to the group 'audio'. However, in the rd.conf file, these are set as user rivendell and group owner rivendell. It took me a while to figure out why this wasn't already pre-set correctly. I went and checked this after I couldn't copy audio in to the /vas/snd folder as it was locked out to 'rd' the default user account the appliance installs.
When logging out of 'rd' user account the system (CentOS) just automatically logs straight back in as rd again. This is under the Gnome install. KDE sits on login screen and logs out of 'rd' correctly. I have to switch users to get in to root which leaves rd user account still not logged out in Gnome. I couldn't find anywhere easily enough to figure out why it's doing this.
When I did a restore my 1.7.2 database only shows 78 tracks in RDLibrary v2 despite all audio being present and all tracks restore fine in 1.7.2. So this means manually going back and re-doing the database from scratch, fortunately the new database I'm working on only has a few hundred tracks. But it's left me feeling about 20% confident RD will actually ever do a db restore after any sort of upgrade sucessfully.
I reset the passwords on RD login users via RDAdmin as requested when going to v2. When I change user, if a sound panel item is playing in RDAirPlay the button playing is no longer red or counting down. This didn't happen in 1.7.2, the sound panel item stayed showing that it was playing. Anyway to fix this?
I know the appliance should be thought of as a Rivendell device not an OS. But it seems I have to learn another OS or GUI to swap RD out with the latest appliance. Switching OS and re-learning in order to do an automation upgrade is a horrible experience. My biggest issue has been the db restore. I expect a restore to be as straight forward as possible so it can be dependend on when something goes wrong. I just don't have that faith in it anymore.
