Sorry I don't have a spare box here to put 4 on yet but working on it.



Instead of a single meter that displays the sum of all signals, there 
is a meter for each configured output port. Each meter can also be 
assigned a name, which then appears on each button that is sending 
audio to that channel. The idea is to allow a better sense of ‘what' 
is playing out ‘where’.

Re: [RDD] Howto 'Legal copy' 'logger' continous recording...

Hi list! ... I'm blowing my mind out of this, pretty standard radio 
automation feature (AFAIK systems): A continuous, segmented, in 
'Library' , recording of aired audio as means of 'legal copy' To my 
knowledge, this is a 'pro' feature on automation systems, and not all 
or 'lite' versions lack it and depend on an external tool for the 
task... My bet is Rivendell can do it!


Rivendell has no dedicated continuous / legal copy GUI module, OK, but 
has a dedicated record event in RDCatch that can also be triggered by 
RML, also there are host variables to play with ... Sure, I can do 
this 'externally' using many approaches: cron/systemd timers , 
ffmpeg/liquidsoap/rotter , Dropbox/rdimport ... but, I guess, there 
has to be an elegant way of doing this using Rivendells modules, 
since, usually, users are not system programmers.


What puzzles me (maybe I'm really missing something big!) is that 
recording within RDCatch/RML implies having an already created 
cart/cut... no way of targeting a cart and let cuts be spawned there, 
but, even If I use a cart for every piece of recording, I need to have 
a card for it... Sure, this could, theoretically be achieved 'brute 
forcibly' , I mean, having let's say, one year of hourly cart/cuts 
pre-created, and the corresponding monstrous amount of rdcatch events 
manually created, but that wouldn't be neither clever nor elegant! ... 
How are you approaching these guys?


Can I add some 'logic' or expression within RML to dynamically target 
a certain cart/cut? How could I, for a very simple example, tell 
Rivendell to maintain 365 carts with 24 cuts each of recordings?  or 
is it that, simply, Legal Copy / 'Logger' feature was (is) outside 
business logic on Rivendell's design?


Best regrads!!

Re: [RDD] x11vnc woes

2021-05-10 Thread Stan Fotinos


Hi Rob

I find that NoMachine is more reliable and performs much better on lower 
bandwidths and If this go wrong you can ssh into the server and restart 
it using the cli. You don't need to install the full version on the 
clients server/client just the client enterprise version (free) will do 
the trick.


You can also try the NX open source version if you wish.

Thanks

doing their breaks live via the Comrex link.


Most of the time it works flawlessly, but once in a while the x11vnc 
server will either crash or freeze. When it happens, the current song 
will run out and they'll be silent for several minutes while they go 
looking for someone to VNC in and fix the problem.


This morning, x11vnc froze; I had to use kill -9 to kill it, and when 
I restarted it, the new process immediately froze. Only rebooting the 
system got it working -- not something I like doing when I'm an hour 
and a half away and there's no one at the station.


I have tried downloading the latest x11vnc code and compiling it 
manually; that hasn't helped. The logs don't offer any clues.


I know this isn't strictly a Rivendell problem, but I'm wondering if 
any of y'all have encountered it. Is there a better option than 
x11vnc? I suppose I could try vino.

working to get Rivendell moved to Qt5. It’s mostly working now, though 
there are still a few bits that are no-go (primarily the voice

I may have mentioned before that my cluster is considering switching 
to Rivendell from AudioVault Flex. I’ve been working on the project 
off and on for a while now.


One feature we have in AudioVault is the ability to record a cut from 
a source much like in RDCatch, but be able to play back the cut while 
it is being recorded. For example, we start recording Westwood One 
news at the top of the hour, but won’t play it back until after the 
local news is done. Sometimes this will be after the recording is 
finished, but often the program is still recording when playback 
starts. (We have a scheduled event at :59 to cue the legal ID up next, 
followed by local news. If the last song of the hour ends before :00 
and/or the local newscast is shorter than 2 minutes, we will start 
playing the slightly-delayed network news while it’s recording.


I remember being able to do this on BSI WaveStation back in 2001 as 
well. I remember our morning show host’s face when I told him we 
didn’t have to backtime into Paul Harvey at 8:30 any longer.


So. Simple question, is it possible to do this with Rivendell 3.x? If 
I’m running RDCatch on the main server machine, will it be able to 
feed the audio to the studio machines while it is still recording the 
cut? Or is there another way to do this?

What I’m considering right now is adding a facility that would allow

*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Rivendell is now Unicode UTF-8 clean.

Qt4 is now used throughout Rivendell instead of Qt3.

A multicast update system has been added that allows Rivendell
modules to update views syncronously in step with changes made in
other modules.

The Rivendell Loadable Modules system for processing PAD data has
been completely replaced by PyPAD, allowing PAD processing plug-ins
to be written in the popular Python scripting langauge. Backward
compatible replacement scripts for many of the RLM plug-ins supplied
in Rivendell v2.x are included.

Added a compatibility library to facilitate the use of the Rivendell
Web API in external applications.

A system of virtual log machines has been added, allowing play-out
of up to 23 logs simultaneously.

Rivendell is now fully systemd compatibile.

The Windows ports of rdlogedit(1) and rdlogmanager(1) have been
removed.

Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 308, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current
schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.

Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after
upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to
be applied.

Re: [RDD] Scheduler codes time taken

2019-03-21 Thread Stan Fotinos


Hi Fred

Thank you for the clarification, so all the improvements should be 
already implemented in the version I am testing with 2.19.3. As Cliff 
suggested I did try a modern PC with a very fast processor and lots of 
RAM, it did reduce the time taken by 50 minutes ( it previously took 2 
hours for 24 hrs of music) It still appears to be a long time 
considering the low complexity of the set up...


Thanks

Stan

The optimizations were part of the final batch of improvements
submitted by Alban Peigner before Tryphon ceased operations. They first
appeared in v2.12.0, and improved music scheduler performance when
generating logs by an order of magnitude or more. Thus, an update to
the current stable version (v2.19.3) should cure the OP's reported
bottleneck.

Re: [RDD] Scheduler codes time taken

2019-03-19 Thread Stan Fotinos


Hi Rich

Just the one group and one scheduler code and 20 tracks per hour. I have 
simplified the clocks just to see if it makes a difference, the only 
thing that does is if I only us groups and no codes at all.


It appears from the responses that some are able to create logs with 
scheduler codes reasonable fast but I'm just wondering if it has more to 
do with hardware or the software side of things. I'll be testing on a 
faster system at the end of the week and I'll report back with my findings.


Kind regards

If I only use a group or groups with no codes it takes approximately 30 seconds

Hi all

What if you create a empty log eg. "Music Default" that loads
automatically at startup, I think that works...

Thanks

This is the expected behavior - there is nothing to ‘fix’. Until

Would it not be possible to have a "fake rdairplay" that would load a

Subject: [RDD] Rivendell v2.19.3

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the 
availability of Rivendell v2.19.3  Rivendell is a full-featured radio 
automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It 
is available under the GNU General Public License version 2.

>From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
   BroadcastTools Support. Added a Switcher/GPIO driver for the
   BroadcastTools SS 2.1 switcher.

   AudioScience GPIO. Added support for GPIO on AudioScience adapters
   to the 'Local Audio Adapter' Switcher/GPIO driver.

   Add Next/Insert Cart RML. Renamed the 'Add Next' ['PX'] RML to
   'Insert Cart' ['PX'] and added two optional arguments to allow
   specification of the insertion position and transition type.

   Spinitron RLM. Added support for Spinitron v2 to the 'spinitron_plus'
   RLM.

   Exported File Mode. Added an 'ExportedFileMode=' parameter to the
   '[Tuning]' section of rd.conf(5) to permit permission mode of exported
   audio files to be specified.

   Various bug fixes. See the 'ChangeLog' for details.

Database Update:
   This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 275, and will
   automatically upgrade any earlier versions.  To see the current schema
   version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.

   As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
   any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

Howdy Folks:

Today’s release of v2.18.0 of Rivendell includes a major overhaul of
the documentation. Here are some of the highlights:

1) Operations Guide. The Rivendell Operations Guide has been
completely rewritten, expanded and retitled “The Rivendell Operations
and Administration Guide”, with new chapters covering RDAdmin,
recently added Rivendell modules and more. The source for the Ops
Guide has also been translated from Open Document (ODT) format to
DocBook 5 and incorporated as part of the Rivendell sources (in
‘docs/opsguide/‘). Both HTML and PDF versions are included in the
standard tarball.

2) Miscellaneous Notes. The gaggle of miscellaneous notes previously
found in the ‘docs/‘ directory have now mostly been incorporated into
the Ops Guide as appendices. The few remaining exceptions can be found
in the docs/misc/‘ directory. Most of these will likely eventually
end up in the Ops Guide as well.

3) API Specs. The various API specifications for Rivendell’s internal
protocols have likewise been converted to DocBook 5, and can be found
in ‘docs/apis/‘. Both HTML and PDF versions are shipped in the
standard tarballs.

4) Accessing the Guide. When installed from source, the Operations
Guide will be installed in ‘/usr/share/rivendell’, with a new
‘Documentation’ submenu beneath the ‘Rivendell’ desktop menu that
contains links to open both HTML and PDF versions. For those using the
standard CentOS RPM packages, install the ‘rivendell-opsguide’ package
to get the documentation and links.

5) Errata. This rewrite has been a huge undertaking and I’m sure that
many typos and other errata still exist. Please feel free to report
such. Even better: fix it and send a pull request!

Cheers!

Re: [RDD] Cart/Cut audio management (Or...Rivendell has lost its %&$* mind)

2017-10-15 Thread Stan Fotinos


Hi James

Have you tried running rddbcheck to test the database?

Thanks

Stan


On 15/10/2017 9:18 pm, James Greenlee wrote:
For the past week our Rivendell system has gone kind of crazy.  Our 
biggest problem stems from a "weather" cart.


First off, we built the Rivendell system per the new build process, 
and it is currently running 2.16.0.  We have a server system with a 
couple of workstations.


We refresh the Weather cart daily, importing updated weather into the 
cart as a new cut, setting the date that the cut is valid for, and 
most often deleting an older cut.  On Monday, we'll import a cut for 
Tuesday, set it to expire at the end of Tuesday, and delete the Sunday 
cut from the cart.  This seems pretty logical and has been working for us.


Last week the Rivendell system started doing weird things with the 
Weather cart.  It stopped playing the newly added cut, instead playing 
the previous days cut.  Then it stopped playing weather altogether.  
The "event" in the clock is there, the cart is listed in the Log, but 
nothing ever runs, even though the play counter of the cut 
increments.  Today it decided to play a weather cut that had been 
deleted a week ago.  My only guess with that is when you delete audio 
from a cut, it doesn't get removed from the database (which is 
somewhat counter-intuitive)?


On other cart/cut madness...

We have an obligation to run spots for a content provider. Every week 
we load the new spots for the upcoming week as cuts in this clients 
cart.  We update the valid Air Date/Time information for the cuts 
(setting older cuts to expire, newer cuts to be valid in the future) 
and move on with other tasks. Yesterday (10/14), we updated the 
cart/cuts around 3p ET.  The expiration date/time for the retiring 
cuts was set to 10/15 at 23:59), but after we made that update, those 
cuts stopped playing for the rest of the day.


What's going on here?  My guess is we've either hit a bug, have a 
corrupted database, or we're working with the Rivendell system in a 
way that it's unhappy with.


Thanks,

James Greenlee

[RDD] Log Mode Control

Hi all

I am have found a issue using certain settings with the "Log Mode 
Control" I have the following configuration setup in RDAirplay:


1. I have disabled showing in RDAirplay "Show Auxlog1 Button" and "Show 
Auxlog2 Button"  (so that presenters can not change any settings to 
these logs)


2. I have set Log control mode to the following setting: "Mode Control 
Style" Independent

 "Main Log Startup Mode" Manual
 "Aux 1 Log Startup Mode" Manual
 "Aux 2 Log Startup Mode" Automatic

I use the Aux 2 Log to load a very simple log every time a advertising 
break is due to show a message "Break Due" "Time to Play" in rotation...


This works well for a few days but then with out notice it will change 
"Aux 2 log Startup mode" to MANUAL


Has anyone seen it behave this way?

[RDD] Cue crashing RD airplay???

2016-05-04 Thread Stan Fotinos

Hi all

Could someone please test following?

1. Go into the library and enable the "Air Date/Tme" for a audio cut so that it 
is not currently active (Red)

2. Then go into RDairplay and select ADD then find and highlight the cart you 
just disabled, then press the cue button.

Does RDAirplay freeze for you? 

Centos 6 appliance, Rivendell Version 2.10.3

Thanking you

Stan

Maybe one way would be to set all logs to run independently in rdairplay admin 
and change the Main log to manual mode during the time that the aux log is 
running using macros.

Re: [RDD] Cart Playback

2015-12-13 Thread Stan Fotinos

The number of plays per cut has a role to play with this from what I
understand. It you add new cuts to a cart after say current cuts have
played 10 times, the system will keep playing new cuts until it has the
same number of plays. You need to reset the play count somehow to get a
even rotation. I don't think there is such a feature in Rivendell at the
moment.

Thanks

Thank you Wayne

Hosts are enabled on all services.

I am using a different user on those hosts but they have all user rights
enable.

But when I use the default user it works! Is this a bug? Has anyone else
been able to generate reports without loging in as the default user? Or is
this just happening to me...

Sorry, I didn't realise that I was testing this on a client which it works
. So ignore my last email please.

It does not work as default user or any other user on these clients.

On the client that it works, it work as any user !!!

It even works on the windows client too.

Any else getting this behaviour? I can not see what the difference is
between clients...

Greetings,

HELP

Came into the station this morning and rdlibrary only shows carts when
"show first 100" is selected
show "all" returns a blank library.

Seems I am having a database issue or a issue with the database server.

So now I am trying to do a backup of the database so I have a fresh one
before I do further trouble shooting with the server.
Rivendell RdAdmin fails to backup database.

When using mysqldump to a single file I get

Error 1030: Got error 5 from storage engine when dumping table Bluesweb_SRT
"Bluesweb" being one of my Rivendell services.

Any Help on this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Only one of the four clients if it is left unused for approx 15 minutes or
more, when you press start to play a cart it takes up to 3 seconds to start
the cart. After the first start it works perfectly, triggering instantly.


Couple of ideas, in no particular order:

* Audio storage location (NFS server) hard drive spin-down (power
saving in BIOS) enabled?  Might it be that the other three clients
would exhibit the same behavior if no client were doing anything for
15 minutes too?
As far as I can see no power saving setting are enabled in the BIOS, no 
other client behaves this way after 15 minutes.


* SELinux settings different on various machines?
<https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/sec-sel-enable-disable.html>
  New installations of CentOS come with SELinux enabled by default, but
I don't recall if Rivendell Appliance CentOS has it disabled or not
I cant see this enabled in Centos Appliance and I have turn all firewall 
stuff off.


* Wireshark traffic (a.k.a. packet capture) (on both ends of the wire)
various systems looking for responsiveness/delay in the transport/IP
layer (2/3), the TCP layer (4), or the OS/Rivendell client (7) layer

Working on this at the moment, I hope this can show me what is happening...


* Check system logs for NFS timeout errors -- on both ends of the wire

* Check caed logs for errors, etc.

Will look into these too.



You might try to capture some snippets of logs from different systems
when you replicate the same steps on each, and just pore through them
for any differences.
Good idea thank you, I hope to get to the bottom of this and I will post 
my solution.

 All of what he said

 Certain apps, notably Talk and MySQL are brain-dead when it comes to

 As well documented on this very list over many years, the IP 127.0.0.1
 is problematic. Why that one only out of the entire 127.x.x.x block,
 who knows ?
 Since the entire 127.x.x.x block refers to localhost and the lo network
 interface, it therefore is prudent to use any 127.x.x.x EXCEPT 127.0.0.1
 when referring to the local machine.
 Typically, I use 127.0.0.2 but 127.234.145.178 would work just as well.

In an ideal world I'm trying to achieve this (but I accept I don't 
think its possible):


  * Unreliable link between offices (Questionable Internet and wiring
on different continents)
  * Person locally adds song to Riv and it propagates to the remote
somehow and vice versa (two way replication).

The simplest way I guess would be nightly updates (rsync, mysqldump 
etc) but then I would lose audio imported at the remote station and 
play counters etc.


Just wondering if anyone has any bright ideas?

So cart 420 length is 31 seconds but it actually played for 2:34 Also the
next cart in the log was actually set to have a segue transition but it's
showing a Play transition in the report instead.

I have check the cart and it's segues in the library and also ran rddbcheck
to validate audio lengths. Everything appears normal.

Anyone got any ideas?

What happens is that the three hour recording events do not work. 
There are always just a few seconds recorded, if we export the file

contains only three minutes of the program.


The two hour recordings work (in 95%) perfectly.

Do you have similar setups? Or did you even had the same problem and

What if you create a macro that does a slow stop fade first eg. PS 1 1500
then stops the recording and then starts a new item.

Hope this helps

 At the top of the hour we record a live news feed with RDcatch.
 Ten seconds after we start broadcasting the file with the news, using
 RDairplay.

 The live news isn't a fixed length, so when the news broadcast is over
 after about 3 minutes, the speaker fires a Stop Record macro to RDcatch.

 RDairplay then skips to the next item in the log, but there's always an
 awfull noise at the end. I've tried recording in both wav and MP2.

Is it possible to insert a remote stream in Rivendell at a certain time?

Here's the scenario:

We'll be doing a remote broadcast. From the remote location, we will generate a 
new Icecast stream, and uplink it to our central Icecast server. Meanwhile, 
back at our HQ, Rivendell is rocking along playing tunes on full automation. If 
everything works according to plan, Rivendell will grab the new Icecast stream 
and insert it into the queue and play it as a source for the duration of our 
show, then return to normal business, playing out music tracks.

Is this possible?

Thanks for your patience and expertise. I know I've had a lot of posts here,

Re: [RDD] GPI trigger not firing cart

Hi Keith

Have you defined the start/stop macro's under the Switchers GPIO section 
or RDairplay?

Hello all!

Some time ago I repurposed a USB gamepad as a GPI controller on one of my 
Rivendell machines (running 2.10.2 / RD Appliance). I wired it up, added it in 
the “Switchers GPIO” area of rdadmin, and verified it worked using rdgpimon. 
Then I went into the “RDAirplay” section of rdadmin, assigned a couple of the 
inputs as Start GPIs, and called it a day. All that has been fine, and remains 
so.

The trouble came today, when I tried to assign some macro carts to one of the 
GPIs (under “Switchers GPIO” in rdadmin). The on/off state still appeared 
properly in rdgpimon, and would appear in the logs, but the carts would not 
fire.

I tried rebooting. I tried disabling the GPI settings in the “RDAirplay” 
section of rdadmin. I tried setting the GPIs manually (GE/GI). No change.

Run the carts by any other means - in rdairplay, using the EX RML command, etc 
- and they work fine. I just can’t seem to get the GPI triggers to work. Any 
ideas?

Hi Bill

We have used the Nimbie with a combination of dbpower amp software (pc

under the unit if metadata or issues with disk instead dropping it into
the finish tray.

Now that robotic CD handlers have come down out of the stratosphere
price-wise, I was wondering if anyone has experimented with one to rip
material for Rivendell?

I guess I see this happening on a Mac or PC outputting some metadata
tagged intermediate file format that RDimport can deal with (like
FLAC). It seems to me that Fred G. once told me that Rivendell could
deal with metadata in Chart Chunk but I don't know of a ripper that
really knows how to store stuff that way. Personally I'd be really
happy to have 44.1 Ksps/16 bit PCM Stereo files without any
intermediate conversion but that seems to be problematic from the
metadata transport perspective.

The other question about automatic ripping is, does anyone know of a
ripper that can make and exception list of the missing metadata? Since
we have to deal with SoundExchange royalty reports, having an
automated ripper rip 100 CD's with missing metadata creates a mess
that's a hassle to clean up. I want to go look in each file to see if
all the required the data is there. Better to have a .csv file that
shows what metadata was collected and what's missing for the rip run.
Then it's easier to go back and clean it up.

I was looking at this handler from Acronova. Anyone have any others
that are in the price range that has worked in a Rivendell importing
scheme they've worked out?

Hi Bill

We do rip in FLAC and metadata is contained with the file. We use
RDimport to import audio into Rivendell library. I am not handling that
part of the process here so I would recommend you try importing a single
FLAC file to see if you are happy with the process.

Hope this helps
