HI, It seems the version of Riv I'm running won't let me put in ' or " marks....
Bit of a pain really... To be honest I have no idea how to set up the RLM's in the new versions. Completely new to me...

RN echo %a - %t>/home/rd1/export/playing.txt! will run a shell command and %a / %t will be replaced by the artist and title text. When a field contains a bash/shell special char it will break or do nasty stuff on your system You could try to escape/encapsulate the string in quotes like this: RN echo '%a - %t'>/home/rd1/export/playing.txt! or RN echo "%a - %t">/home/rd1/export/playing.txt! this way the & will not be interpreted as shell special char. but… the first one will break if there is a ' in the string, second one will break if there is a " in the string. Instead try please try to use rivendell modules. There are several rlm's that do title streaming to servers and textfiles: http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Streaming_from_Rivendell Best regards Sascha -- astrastudio broadcast solutions - on air design Prinz-Eugen Straße 42 53757 Sankt Augustin fon: +49 2241 591972 mobile: +49 151 29126299 mail: [email protected] web: www.astrastudio.de USt-IdNr: DE 266329487 _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
