Just as an FYI, I use Audacity and JACK to share the sound card with
Riv. Via Audacity preferences and some JACK wizardry we even force
Audacity to not use the main play out so in essence you can record and
play back while live on air without making Audacity live.
The options to open the library etc directly seem interesting though.

Interesting. We use Audacity on our Riv machines to do quick edits but
have not used it for critical recording mainly because I wasn't sure
how clean and professional it would be and because we would need to
install a second high quality sound card for recording. When editing,
we play back over the MB sound or a simple sound card. I guess if we
don't care about clean balanced inputs we could use a regular card.
It's just simpler for the operator to record into the Riv playout when
he is doing a live interview but I can rearrange things and no, pause
in that case isn't super critical.
Still learning the best way to do things,

Just checked - Yes - the Riv C Library is out there....

That what the Audacity version uses to talk to 2.0 Rivendell systems.

Dear Al,
Sorry - I missed that Posting somehow......
Yes, the Audacity code we added is kinda like that - specifically
Menu Choices under File
Browse Rivendell Library
Export To Rivendell Library
Export Selection to Rivendell Library.
The version we originally used (and still use) did this via Mysql
calls, and a Samba mount, and we copied the data from
Windows->Linux...
The latest version - (which I have yet to test thoroughly -
because we are not there yet... we are still on Old Rivendell 1.5
believe it or not...)
is Rivendell 2.0 compatible. It uses a Rivendell C API Library
(which I wrote with lots of help from Fred G.) to talk to the
Rivendell
Web API to put things in/take things out of Rivendell. Since
Rivendell 2.0 doesn't allow direct content access - you have to
use the web interface - (ie apache).
so I wrote the C API to create the http calls to pass into the
Rivendell Web API. Our production version IS running with the new
code - it simply isn't
using the new code cause it figures out which DB it sees - and
since we are not on the 2.0 database schema - it doesn't use that
new code.
(There are 100 plus Windows machines running Audacity - so WHEN we
do upgrade to 2.0 - I needed it to be smart enough to easily be
flipped
to 2.0 - rather than manually install 100 + NEW executables - but
I digress)...
The Riv C API Library isn't out on GitHub yet I don't think - it
may only be in house right now.....will have to check.
I have tested the Rivendell 2.0 version - but it has not been put
into Production use "Yet".... That's a ways down the road for us -
for too many reasons to list here - ...
The only caveat about the new 2.0 version is that the Mysql calls
are still in the code - because we needed to have browse capability,
and the Web API simply did not work well for giving us a list of
Carts/Cuts and sorting capabilities (you can sort on Cut
Description, Cart Title, Cart/Cut Number
in our version when browsing the library).
Getting Mysql libraries to work is a bit of work, especially since
Audacity uses Visual Studio C++, WxWidgets, etc.... but it
works...and I did write a version
a few years ago for Ubuntu, (and I also wrote one for Mac - but I
have no idea where that code is....and I start sweating just
thinking about it... ;)...
We have been using our Audacity version for Rivendell 1.5.2 for
8+ years...Latest Audacity versions I have built with are Audacity
2.0.3 (Win 7) and
Audacity 2.1.2. (Win 10).
Best Regards,
Todd

Todd, had you seen my posting from around 9AM today?
*** How about the inclusion on the Appliance Disk
of a custom tweak of Audacity for CentOS, but
with one major mod: two new "Save/Export"
Menu choices that allow /Export Selection Directly /
/to RDLIbrary /and /Export Selection Directly to RDCartSlots/?***
Is this how your spin works?
