This is a hypothetical question at the moment as I've not managed to get the "now and next" text working on my test set up and I haven't yet got round to actually setting this up, but let's assume I have 2 studios that can be used for broadcasting. Both will have a Rivendell client in the studio, connected to the same Rivendell server. There will also be a third client used to provide a sustaining service overnight or when there is no live DJ in the studio.
If Studio 1 is on air and is sending out the "now and next" text, what will happen if someone uses Studio 2 to record a programme that is to be broadcast later? Would the "now and next" text be sent out at the same time as the live broadcast, or is there a simple way to switch off the text from the production studio. Similar scenario during the sustaining client being used, as I would want it to send the text out, but once it is turned off and either Studio 1 or 2 go live, how easy is it to pick up the text from a different source. I should maybe point out that all 3 clients will be connected via an analogue audio switch to a dedicated streaming PC that will route whichever output is to be broadcast. I'm hoping that this PC will be able to "pick up" the "now and next" text which the clients will produce to send it out to the Internet stream. None of the clients will actually be doing the streaming themselves - the "now and next" will, hopefully be sent to this dedicated PC which will be accessible via the LAN so they all have access to the file necessary to send the information. So basically, I want each client to be able to produce the "now and next" information to a single file - let's say called onair.txt on a network share - this file will be read by, for example Ed Cast running on a Windows PC which does the audio streaming. ================================================== Kind Regards, David Henderson _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
