When WHRB was doing remote broadcasting, they did not give the remote operators access to rdairplay. Rivendell would put the remote on the air at a designated time and go back to local programming at the end of the period scheduled for the remote event; this was done for security reasons.

With the end of most of the university's Covid restrictions, they've gone back to running from the studio. The only remotes they've done recently have been sports events, with a board-op in the studio running Rivendell.

WZBC's approach was to have their people pre-record shows in one-hour segments and upload them to Rivendell, which was set up off campus because access to the studio was restricted by the college. Initially, it was running in my spare bedroom, feeding the studio via a Comrex Access. It's now running at the home of an alumnus, feeding the station via a BRIC-Link he owns. Mostly, WZBC has gone back to live shows from the studio, but there are still a few people uploading to Rivendell.

tldr: is there any way to tell what cart RDAirPlay is currently playing? It
seems like I can grep the syslog, but just wondering if there's some other
more expedient way.
We implemented remote broadcasting for our radio station using some basic
bash and MySQL procedures. Essentially after all is said and done, the
script will send RML to Rivendell to load a particular cart to the queue
along with a certain announcement and then start the show. Looks like this:
rmlsend PX\ 1\ 3004\! #This is the WMFO shows pre-recorded announcement,
will push to top
sleep 1
rmlsend PN\ 1\! #press play next (second track in queue or first if not
running), which should fade out existing track
sleep 1
rmlsend PX\ 1\ 999996\!
sleep 1
rmlsend PX\ 1\ $cart\! # queue up specified show

Sometimes a live DJ will ignore instructions and load a new log, canceling
playback. I would like to programmatically illuminate if this has happened.
