There isn’t anything different the talent has to do. The magic is handled by the rsync scripts which run in cron.
Every 15 minutes I run an rsync script that checks if there are any new voice tracks to send to the server. If there are, it sends them. Every night at midnight I have an rsync script that checks for new audio files (music, sweepers, etc) that have been added to the server. All new content is downloaded to /var/snd on the remote computer. This is all handled behind the scenes. The talent just runs RdLogEdit like normal. The only thing we can’t do remotely is RdAirplay because it is too SQL intensive. With good internet access, RdAirplay would probably work too. It is a hack, but we’ve been doing this for a year without any issues. We have 2 remote studios. Patrick > On Feb 21, 2018, at 1:50 PM, Al Peterson <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good.
