Hi,

rmlsend is a command line utility to run macros on any Rivendell computer (--to-host to change machines or leave it for localhost), if you are using macro carts you don't need rmlsend.


The \ is a command line problem, you can't use ! in most linux shells as it is a special character so \! means this is a literal ! and not a special !.

Thank you.


In the macro cart must I prepend rmlsend to the macro command as per your example below?


rmlsend PP S1 1 1\!



What does the \ do? I didn't see that in the txt file in /docs.

Hi,


You might be getting hit by case sensitivity.  Try this:


rmlsend PP S1 1 1\!


The broadcast tools stuff tends to have dip switches where you can change the modes, you might have to change it to pull down or pull up (basically the reverse of what it is now).


There are no notes that say you need to do anything special for the GPI-16 in the switchers.txt file so it should just work.

I think I've fallen into one of the gaps of documentation.


I've got the appliance installation running on HP Compaq Desktop PC 8000 Elite Core 2 Duo E8400 (3.00 GHz).


I've got an external USB sound card. Works great.


I've also got a Broadcast Tools GPI-16+ connected via USB. I've got it working. The Rivendell GPI monitor thinks the GPI contact is ON all the time even though it is not - triggering it causes the GPI monitor to report it as "off" and then it goes back to "on." That's not my immediate issue.


The real issue I am having is setting up RDCatch to watch for a closure and then play a specific cart on the soundpanel.


I've set up a macro cart with the following line in it PP s1 1 1! then gone into Admin/Manage Hosts to have the GPI closure on fire the macro cart. (Play Row 1/Column 1 in Soundpanel S1)


It doesn't work.


Going in RDLibrary and running the line in the macro cart (or the whole Macro Cart) doesn't do anything.


I'm at a loss to try to figure out what is not set right - and there's still scant documentation to be able to figure it out myself.


Any clues where I should start?
