Hi Joe, Not in the cloud, but I (and others on this list) have implemented several components of Rivendell (including the MySQL database server and RDAirPlay) on local virtual machines. My experience has been quite positive.
The risk factor with doing it in the cloud (or anywhere off site) is the reliability of the Internet service between the transmitter and the cloud provider. There exist several "cloud automation" providers (e.g., Airtime (https://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/), but I have no direct experience with any of them either. One way to potentially mitigate the reliability risk would be to run the core audio engine daemon (caed) locally, along with the audio files, and implement the user interface apps out "in the cloud". But even with that setup you're still going to need reliable transport between RDAirPlay and the machine with the "sound card" (analog sound card or LiveWire interface). Might be doable with business-class Internet that includes a service level agreement (SLA) and penalties to the provider if they fail to meet the SLA. But that too can get costly... Hope this helps! ~David Klann Broadcast Tool & Die WDRT, Viroqua, WI On 12/21/2016 04:03 PM, Joe Thompson wrote: > I've got an interesting question.
