Hi,

i have a similar trouble : ripcd crashing after sending an RML ST command (switch is a local audio adapter too). The crashing ripcd process is the one on the machine that has the actual local audio adapter, not on the machine from which i send the RML command.

That happens for me only once every 30 or 50 times.
I did not bother too long and worked around with the following script:

#! /bin/bash
case "$(pidof ripcd | wc -w)" in
0) echo "Restarting ripcd: $(date)" >> /home/user/scripts/check_ripcd.log
    /usr/bin/ripcd &
    curl -k 'command to notify me via sms'
    ;;
1)  # all ok
    ;;
esac

Called every 5 minutes in crontab.
*/5 *   * * *   /home/user/scripts/check_ripcd.sh

That's on debian 7, rivendell 2.5.1.

This is a bit of a head scratcher for me.

I built up a proof-of-concept Rivendell system in a VirtualBox guest VM using JACK, and 
"local audio adapter" switch that works beautifully.

Now I'm trying to move it to the "real" world on a physical box and every time 
I execute a macro to switch the inputs (still using JACK) the audio switches, and then a 
couple of seconds later, RIPCD crashes, and Rivendell is no longer functional.  (Meaning 
I can't trigger any other carts/macros)

I'm executing the macros from the sound panel.

It doesn't seem to matter which distribution I use (always a Ubuntu variant).

My install process is:

Install distribution.
Install/configure JACK.
Install MySQL
Add tryphon repository/add rivendell/rivendell-server.
Setup JACK/Rivendell for RT priority
Setup JACK patching
Setup Rivendell to use JACK/Local Audio Adapter switch
Program switch macros in RDLibrary.
Add switch macros to SoundPanel.

Oddly enough, this works perfectly in my VirtualBox setup.  I might try to 
recreate the VirtualBox version today to see if I can do it again in the 
virtual world.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

James
