Hi all,
I went a completely different way to make our Windows users happy(ish).
I installed VirtualBox and set up a Virtual Machine with Rivendell
installed on it (connecting back to the servers).
Once set up, you can put a shortcut on the desktop and they just launch
that to start Rivendell. If they save states rather than shutting down
the VM it even loads up within a few seconds (be aware that VM time and
actual time can be wildly out of sync for a few minutes if they saved
state two weeks ago).
The VM itself can be a template, just remember to regen ssh keys and
change hostnames and IP addresses before you roll it out to more users.
The VM runs perfectly fine on 2012 ish era i3s with 4GB RAM although I
recommend 8GB just to keep Windows happy.
Regards,
Wayne

Hi,
The only options that I have found for this are:
1. Remote desktop (vnc or similar), or
2. Running an X server on the Windows box (xming works for this)
Note that both / either of these solutions involve connecting to a Linux
box which has Rivendell installed, and neither one will get the audio
across the network directly - you'll have to find another way to do
that. Both will allow you to see and work with the GUI's of Rivendell
on your Windows box.
Since X allows for multiple displays, running X on Windows to connect to
your Linux box can allow for both the Windows box and the Linux box to
both have users using Rivendell apps at the same time. However this can
be confusing for some to set up.
For getting the audio across, there are a few options that can be used.
1. The easiest to understand - run an audio cable from the Linux box to
where ever the Windows box is located, and set up some speakers.
Depending on your physical plant, this may be easy or difficult to do.
If you're lucky and already have multi-pair cables between rooms with
unused pairs, this might be very easy to do.
2. Run Netjack on both ends and use Netjack to get the audio across
(there is a Windows build of Jack2 that believe includes the Netjack
backend available for Windows)
If you do take one of these routes, be sure to document everything that
you do for later reference. Otherwise it could be a true challenge to
figure it all out later.

I found the rdlogmanager and rdlogedit programs for windows. One program
that we'd find useful is rdlibrary, so we can edit carts from our windows
based production computer.
Is there or has there been anything in the works?
