Is there a maximum allowed length for a single cart? We're trying to

proceeds to the next cart (which is set to PLAY). There are no errors in
the system logs.
Is this an imported cut? Or did you record it using rdlibrary?
I have had issues with using rdimport or the Rivendell dropbox feature to
import long files.
Because Rivendell uses Apache and a cgi script as part of its import
process, extremely long files will be truncated if Apache times out during
the import process. In your apache2.conf (httpd.conf?) file, you'll
probably find the line "Timeout 300"; that means any import taking longer
than 5 minutes (300 seconds) will cause Apache to time out, truncating the
import. Change this number to 1800 (30 minutes); see if that cures the
problem.
The other issue I've had involves the Rivendell dropbox feature. A file
being copied across the Internet into a dropbox can get imported before it
has finished copying. That will also result in a truncated file. My
solution is not to use the dropbox feature but to maintain my own
dropboxes using a custom-written Perl script. My script invokes rdimport,
after firstchecking to see that the file hasn't been modified for 30
seconds, and maintains detailed logs of all imports. It also moves any bad
file out of the dropbox to a "bad" folder, so the dropbox won't get
cluttered up with .pk files and other garbage.
