This isn't the appliance image; it's a clean CentOS install with Rivendell installed from a repository - but if you're familiar with Ubuntu (the Debian Way™), you'll find that CentOS (which is essentially identical to Red Hat Enterprise Linux) you'll find some differences.
Our trouble with Debian and Rivendell was mostly in getting sound output to work reliably, though there were also issues with regards to SQL. We switched back to CentOS and it's been smooth since then (bar a couple of issues, for which there have been workarounds). I don't recognize the issue you describe, but you can file an issue on GitHub - you may find the problem will go away on CentOS.

I did, in fact, use the Rivendell/Paravel combined download, but it seemed full of ads, plus a Terminal warning whenever I made an error that said "this has been reported". Probably a joke, but disconcerting when you are already out of your depth! I did actually get Rivendell working on Ubuntu 14, using the Radio Tools guide and I might have stuck with that had I not got an operatring issue which I couldn't search any help on (I didn't know about this forum then). It was this: when I populated the grid with the test template, no matter what I did, it only saved Monday 00 until Thu 12! Nothing I could do would make it save any template later than that. I wonder if you have ever come across that issue? I really like the idea of what Rivendell stands for (on Station Playlist at the moment), so many thanks Markus On Tue, 8 May 2018 at 14:01, IC Radio Tech <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: In my experience, don't bother trying Ubuntu or other Debian derivatives in production - use CentOS instead. We tried it with Debian 8 and it was pretty poor, but on CentOS 7 it's worked a treat!

Using Tec Whisperer's excellent guide, all went well until I tried to install Rivendell itself. I just got this: sudo apt-get install rivendell-server rivendell Reading package lists...
