Hi! Thanks for your help!

I'm guessing the places you see this are either using some sort of
middleware magic that is taking the cut info from different sections
of a program and the program is what the local automation is playing
OR the program is provided in segments and each segment has that
metadata that you see.
Maybe... the 'automation guys' I know are 100% Windows people. I don't
know their way of work and/or hacks/tricks but, certainly, It could be
very much possible that they use some kind of 3rd party programs,
addons, etc... that does the magic, there's plenty of that stuff in
Windows. I would be OTOH surprised they use any non-GUI approach.
You could approximate this in a few ways with rdairplay that I can
think of off hand immediately, all end up putting the show name as
part of cut metadata.
This is interesting... I'm wondering wether it could be possible to use
an AuxLog Machine or an VLog Machine to have a pure do-nothing
MACRO-cart log that just keeps track of the Station's Show/Grid/Schedule
metadata. The thing is that I don't know wether you can differentiate in
the pypad scripts metadata coming from one logmachine or another.
Alternatively you could make a custom pypad script that checks the
current time against a program list or database and prepends the result.
Yep... the Linux people way :-)
Cheers!

Hi list.
I don't know much about radio automation (Rivendell is my first
serious
approach) but I fairly know about streaming (that's part of my
job) and
the thing is that over the years I'm quite used to see our
customers to
include in their stream metadata (usually the current song on
Icecast2)
the name of the show, other radio/program data, together or as a
replacement with the classic artist - tittle song metadata.
For example, I'm used to see things such as "Morning Show by Johnny
Public - 06:00 to 12:00 - SomeArtist - SomeTitle" and complex things
like that.
When I asked the Automation guys from where does that stuff came for,
they naturally answered me something like: "that is generated from
the
automation system, the automation system has everything about the
radio
on its database: the program grid, the scheduling, every piece of
songs
or recording metadata, everything is there... so, it generates that,
much like classic RDS, etc ..." which I found fascinating (that
was my
first way to clearly appreciate a difference between the 'automation
system' and a regular playlist software).
Now... with Rivendell, I have learned how to use pypad scripts to
taylor
an artist - title (or some other cart metadata stuff) stream
metadata. I
also have learned how to use a MACRO and empty/bogus carts to put
now/next metadata even if no log machine is playing ... but, how
do you
guys manage to put your show info in the Now/Next data?
I don't find anything about that... can it get data from a clock
configuration? or how do you approach this?
Cheers!
