[RDD] RDlibrary opening delay on rd3
We are helping a small FM station update from rd2.19 to 3.6 and are concerned that something in the database isn't right. When we prepare a fresh install of server and client on CentOS 7 and Riv 3.6.5, it all works great. Then when we load and convert the database, at least the library becomes sluggish. The CPU load is fine. The library click to open delays about 1 sec on the server but around 5 seconds on the client before it is populated. He has about 10K of carts/cuts. Is this normal? It's not normal on our 2.19 clients with 17K of carts/cuts. Any ideas of what could cause this? We have tried different hard drives and computers and all behave the same. Using Dell 9th gen i5.

[RDD] System took over Axia sound, RD not allowed to use
I just made a fresh install of CentOS 7 and RD 3.6.4 on a new hard drive -stand-alone config, script install, then installed the Axia sound driver and license (virtual card). For some reason that I have never seen, RDalsaconfig cannot select the Axia sound cards even though listed, but it can select and play through the HW motherboard sound and the system plays great through the Axia sound. I don't know how this happened or how to change it. I tried listing default sound in asound.conf but it doesn't help unless I did it wrong. Any suggestions?

Re: [RDD] RDCatch problem
For CD programs (now very few), we don't use a completely automated process. We use a dropbox that points to a transfer folder where the audio is placed and specifies one cart for a daily program such as "Ted Watson" so all of the daily audio loads in as various cuts. Once imported for the month, we go to the cart in Riv and set up the valid play dates on each cut. That's less automated but easy for our staff to do. For other programs that can be automatically downloaded, I use a script that gets them, specifies the cart number and adds the valid dates to each cut. I find that RDCatch works best for FTP sites, especially where the programs include some sort of date code in the file name that you can use to specify the playout date. I hope that makes sense.

Re: [RDD] Growing the Rivendell system
I'm not a linux power user but I have used Aman on Centos 7 / Riv 2.19 to assign a master and slave between two Riv machines. You can switch them to copy the DB and sync audio in either direction with a GUI interface. I have not tested it with Riv 3.x yet, however. You can get the installation and setup instructions on Github: https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/aman I set this up for an LPFM so he can do all the audio file imports and editing on one machine and it will keep the onair slave up to date. If the slave were to fail, he can simply use the master to go on air.

[RDD] Aman install
I'm setting up new servers, Master and Slave, on Centos 7 for Riv 3.5. Can aman be installed from the CLI: yum -y install aman, or does that miss components, ie, need to build it from code? Does it work well with Rivendell 3.5?

[RDD] Airplay double audio
Has anyone encountered a problem with RDairplay (v2.19.3 using Axia audio driver) where it starts playing two audio files at the same time and keeps on going? Last night at about 10:45pm our on air machine did this undetected by station personnel until 7am this morning, right through the log load at midnight. I simply closed airplay and restarted it and the problem was gone. I don't know where I would look in logs. Listening to off air recordings, I can tell that it played the same log and where there were hard timed events, the audio synced until it came to a regular ID in rotation and the seemingly two instances of RDairplay chose two different IDs so it got farther off. Right after midnight, the same song, two instances, were only 10 secs apart. Any ideas?

[RDD] Riv Server advise
I need to upgrade our CentOS 6.9 servers to v7 and these "servers" are getting old. I debated whether to upgrade the MB and CPU or buy a Dell T40 or T140 Xeon basic server to save time and avoid compatibility issues. Is this an overkill? Any suggestions on what the Rivendell server needs to be capable of - how many cores and threads? My impression is that it doesn't work that hard but system 7 is a bit more heavy.

[RDD] RDLibrary record levels
Has anyone else noticed that when recording a cart/cut directly in the RDLibrary that even if the record meter level looks just right (peaking around "0 dB") that when played back, it has recorded at about +5dB or more on peaks? Any ideas on where to look and set a different record actual level? Alsamixer makes no difference. It seems to be an internal (system?) issue. I have it on two clients where I run the Axia Livewire driver/"card". I am using Axia Live wire cards on CentOS 7 and Rivendell 2.19.3 with CentOS 6.9 server.

[RDD] RDLogEdit doesn't show new service
Riv 2.19.3 on CentOS 7 I've been setting up a Rivendell system for another small station using aman as a replicator between the airplay box and the workstation. Lately I have seen more and more database errors, it seems. I added a new service to the master server today, enabled hosts, connected events, clocks, grids, etc to it, generated logs, but cannot see the logs in RDLogedit except when I run a report. The drop down service choice only shows "All" or "Production", not the new service, even though it shows up in all other lists and I can see them and load them into airplay. Any suggestions as to where to look? Did I forget to check something somewhere or does this look like a db error? I don't see anything in /var/log/messages. Not sure where else to look. Another issue that surfaced today is that now when I start aman replication, even though all the indicators are green, the database is scrambled on the slave machine until I restart Rivendell. The log says that it couldn't find a valid position. Once I run 'systemctl restart rivendell' all seems to work correctly and it replicates. Thanks for any suggestions as to where to look.

In October, a question about replication came up and someone asked if Aman was still a recommended solution. No answer followed that I saw. If it is still useful on centos 7 and Riv 2.19 or higher, are there updated instructions since 2014? If not Aman, what do you all recommend as a fairly fail-safe way for a small station that isn't very technical to have an automatic backup, be able to make changes on one production machine and have it copied to the on-air machine?

Re: [RDD] Server for playout?
I've had the same question before. 5 years ago when I first set up our Rivendell network, I decided to go with master and slave servers and put clients (6 of them) in the production and main airplay studios. I have never had an issue with this setup but I always make sure that the master server is backing up automatically to the slave and I have a spare client to put into the airplay position if needed - and that has been needed once or twice in 5 yrs. I like having the servers somewhat isolated from the users under my care and accessible to me at any time to run checks, etc. For backup on-air audio, I run a stand alone Rivendell box in the rack room that I update once in a while with new audio files. It runs a continuous loop of 30 days of logs and if my audio network detects silence for more than 15 secs, it gets put on the air automatically. I can also put it on the air when I want to do maintenance on the entire network... maybe once or twice per year. The other thing I like about using clients is that you don't have to have large hard drives everywhere. I use 250GB SSDs in all my clients and now with Axia, I can use small form boxes (no physical sound cards) and they run very quietly taking up little space in the studio. I would like to hear about other good setups as well since I plan to rebuild the servers in the next few months (still on CentOS 6.9). A lot of the decision depends on how big your operation is. >From my limited perspective, Tom Van Gorkom Radio Esperanza Engineering, KRIO AM/FM, KOIR FM Office: 956-380-8150 Cell: 865-803-7427 Rio Grande Bible Institute 4300 S US Hwy 281 Edinburg, TX 78539 On Thu, Oct 10, 2019 at 11:37 AM Rob Landry <41001...@interpring.com> wrote: > > Wherever possible, I run standalone Rivendell machines.

[RDD] Setup Advice
I'm preparing two CentOS 7 Riv 2.19 machines for an LPFM. The owner would like a main airplay and a production machine that syncs with the airplay. I'm looking for good options that he could easily manage since he's not a Linux person. The options I think of are to make one a server and the other a client, or make them both stand-alones that have a scripted audio sync and DB replicator between them. My experience with the DB replication is that if he reboots one of them, it will stop replicating until re-synced which is going to be beyond his ability. I have not played with replication on MariaDB. Perhaps there is a way to automate this that I don't know about. Other suggestions to make this simple and somewhat foolproof?

[RDD] New HP Pavilion i5 compatibility?
Would anyone know if a brand new HP Pavilion 595-p i5 8th gen cpu/chipset is compatible with CentOS 7, and if so, how do I get it to boot on a liveCD or USB? No matter what the BIOS settings, it keeps ending with a kernel panic, not syncing. I went into Grub and it sees the boot disc. I've looked for online solutions and HW compatibility lists and so far nothing helps.

[RDD] Riv 3.0 scrolls through logs after 3 days
Using Riv 3.0 with CentOS 7 with the Livewire driver on a standalone for both testing and a backup audio source if the automation goes quiet... Running a series of about 20 logs in a loop, RDairplay runs fine for about 3 days at a time and then starts scrolling rapidly through each log. I have to force quit RDairplay and restart it again. I re-generated all of the logs to make sure there were no issues with them and started in different places with the same result.

CentOS 7 Riv 2.19.3 I've been trying to narrow down where I have possible corruption in the db and everything pointed to the default Production service. I created a new service based on "empty host", enabled it for events, clocks, new grid, etc. When i generate logs, they exist and can be loaded and played in RD Airplay but they do not show up in RDLOg Edit. Even though I deleted Production from services, it still shows as a drop down option but the new service does not.

[RDD] Orphaned stack
When checking the database on Riv 2.19.3, I get a message: Table Production_STACK is orphaned... delete Y N If I delete it, I get it again the next time I run the db check after generating a log. About 3 weeks ago someone deleted a large number of audio cuts and instead of re-importing them, I restored the server from the backup, only to find that the database was not as up to date as it should have been. I fixed everything I found but have not fixed this. Over the last 3 weeks, only twice on the weekends has a log been skipped - once it jumped over Saturday and this time it jumped past Sunday. I assume there is a connection. How can I fix this?

Thank you for the tip. I should have looked in Dmesg sooner it said the asihpi failed to load because it was missing a signature or required key. As I read up on this, I found several cases where it seems that both drivers try to load at the same time.

[RDD] ASI works only with HD Generic selected
New CentOs 7 script install of Riv 2.19.2 Why would the audio on the ASI only work for playout and recording from Rivendell when I select HD-Audio Generic ALC1150 Analog [1] in RdAlsaConfig and not when the actual AudioScience ASI6114 0-Asihpi PCM [1] is selected? In RdAdmin, Hosts, Audio Resources, the ASI card shows up as card 0, Driver: AudioScience HPI, Inputs: 1, Outputs: 4 and the selected card in RdAlsaConfig shows as an active Card 1 using Alsa driver. The inputs and outputs of the ASI work as they should. Just different behavior than expected. Explanations? OK as is?

[RDD] Dynamic RDS methods
Using Riv 2.19, we send a Now & Next UDP string to our streaming computer which uses a proprietary middleware to organize the metadata for the server and audio streamer. It is capable of forwarding the data to another host but the format seems to follow what it gets from Riv and does not work for the RDS unit. It lacks a CR and no matter what I have tried, I can only get one or the other to work at a time. The streaming service likes the usual %n|%g|%t|%a... and the RDS unit wants DPS=%t by %a. What solutions do you all use? Is Tagstation a good solution? It seems like I could write a script to gather title and artist for the RDS but haven't figured it out yet.

[RDD] 2.19.2 RDLibrary & RDLogin quirks
On CentOS 6.9... RDLibrary: One of 8 clients ended up with RDLibrary having both Search and Clear buttons beside the search text bar. The only way I can see the carts in that one when I open it is to click the Search button with the text blank. How did I end up with one odd-ball? All of the others have just the Clear button. All indicate Riv 2.19.2. Also, unexpectedly, the User:user that I have always had with full privileges no longer had them. When I customized the privileges, then I could get all stations working correctly. However, RDLogin will only show up to 3 custom users at best in the Login drop-down. After adding and deleting users, I finally got a short list of users (3) to drop down, one with full admin privileges. Are these bugs? Has anyone else run into these?

[RDD] Carts invisible after upgraded
I just upgraded to Riv 2.19.2 on CentOS 6.9 for all servers and clients. One client can't see what's in RDLibrary anymore but it can look and edit logs, events, clocks, etc and play the panels and what is in the logs. What would this be? All other machines are fine and this one was working fine before the update. I can't find anything that has changed so far. Any ideas out there?

Re: [RDD] Rivendell rd-bin webpage use
For what it's worth... What I observe is that when a log is first generated, it will show the exact times from the clock regardless of actual length of the specific audio events listed. BUT, if you double click on the audio event in a given hour, then close it. It will update the timing to the actual lengths for the rest of that hour. For multiple cuts in a cart, it will only give the average time so there is still that variable. For remote log editing, I use TeamViewer to get on. I'm not a high level computer guy, but that works.

Re: [RDD] Help - Questions on scheduling, interruptions
In our case, we have several Riv clients on a server but the dropbox setup will be mostly the same on a standalone box as well. I set up a shared folder (rd_xfer) on all Riv clients in our network containing folders named for each group that staff would drop audio into, such as Music, Instrumentals, Teaching Programs, MiniPrograms, etc. On a standalone box, I created a folder on the desktop for importation with the specific group folders inside. There is nothing special about these. They are only a place to drop the audio files to be imported. Next you will point Dropbox to them. In RDAmin, select Manage Hosts and then select the client that will actually do the importation, if a standalone box, select localhost (I used to spread this around various clients but if any one got turned off then some imports didn't happen so I use only the client in my office for all imports now), click Manage Hosts>Dropboxes>Add. Select the Default Group that these audio files should import into such as Music, then type the path to the file to import or click on Select and navigate to it and select the folder where the audio will be dropped, adding *.wav, *.mp3 or *.* to the end of the path depending on what type of audio you will be importing. Example: /home/rd/rd_xfer/Music/*.wav . Note: Sometimes special characters, dashes, dots etc in the audio file name can prevent importation. Also the extension is case sensitive unless you use *.* to grab everything. You do not have to specify the cart number unless you want all those cuts in one cart. You do not have to set all the options. Don't delete before importing. In Log File, I specify where to keep logs to help troubleshoot if something isn't importing. You can make a folder wherever called something like dropbox_logs and then navigate to it, adding the name you will identify it by at the end of the path such as music_import.log . If you use schedule codes, this is the place to set them if you do a lot of importing. You can always change them in the library but there's nothing like the wrong kind of audio playing when you didn't want it because you forgot to go back to set the code or dates. I like to delete source files after import so I see that they imported and don't build up leaving me wondering what imported and what didn't. I suggest you normalize, typically -13 and you may want to set autotrim as well. Once you click OK and close the host setup, you should be able to drop audio into the dropbox folder you setup and after about 30 secs, it should begin importation. We use a service called Amb-OS which downloads specific pre-recorded audio programs from a server a little like FTP. For those, I run a script every hour to check and import anything that has downloaded into the proper cart including setting or modifying dates in the options. It has worked so well for the last couple years I nearly forget that it's running. For programs we manually download from FTP sites, I use Filezilla presetting what folder each program drops into and those get imported via dropbox. I hope this helps.

Re: [RDD] Music Scheduler Codes - "Exclude" option instead of "Must Have Code"?
I use the clock rules to set which codes can air for which hour. The log only selects according to those rules. At night we also use quieter music but it's all in the same music group as the more vibrant, just that the cuts all have style codes that we turn on or off in the clock rules. Is that what you need?

Re: [RDD] Help - Questions on scheduling, interruptions
I may not be understanding, but we always use Riv dropbox importation for our library with no issues. I also run rdimport for programs downloaded from another source. At the top of each hour, I make the legal ID a hard start/make next and over fill the hour with songs. We place any longer or critical programs earlier in the hour so there is no chance of long overruns, but it never cuts off any audio file. It just won't play anything that won't be able to start before the top of the hour, so extra songs at the end are skipped. This causes our legal ID to vary by a few seconds to a couple minutes after the TOH, but we find this to be trouble free. We don't air any programs longer than 57 min. I used to play a TOH time announcement with a hard start/start immediately and then the legal ID which was very precise, running a fade down macro in Aux Log for each hour but some listeners wondered why we faded out songs so we dropped that.

[RDD] Suggestion for future versions?
The other day one of our guys was recording an hour long interview show with a guest directly into a Rivendell cart because he can use the system resources such as entrance and exit beds to make any post editing quick and easy as if he is live on the air. I realize that he could record into Audition or another program but this has worked well until yesterday: The Program Director was looking for an empty cut that another staff mentioned to her, saw the cut being recorded (red with 0.00 time), thought that was it, and deleted it. When the producer closed the cart, it disappeared. IS there a way on a shared client network so that when someone is recording or importing a cut, no one else on the network can edit it (as in erase)? Is there any place to recover such a file if this happens?

Re: [RDD] Generation Of Empty Logs
Correct, no exceptions is a good thing. However, you aren't generating a log so that's not very meaningful at this point. You need to check on each event and on each clock the service list button and make sure that a service - the same on both - which is by default "Production"- is selected. In RDAdmin under "Manage Services" you can define what service(s) you want. This allows you to generate logs for more than one station or season or whatever helps you. Just make sure that if you created your own service that you select it on the clocks and events before generating logs. Hope that helps, Tom Van Gorkom Radio Esperanza Engineering, KRIO AM/FM, KOIR FM Office: 956-380-8150 Cell: 865-803-7427 Rio Grande Bible Institute 4300 S US Hwy 281 Edinburg, TX 78539 On Sat, Nov 25, 2017 at 7:08 PM, Rich Stivers <r...@stivers-bros.com> wrote: > I'm seeking advice on how to diagnose the cause of RdLogManager generating > empty logs.

Re: [RDD] RDCatch Amb-ux username
I'm not very familiar with RDcatch because I don't use it but we have been downloading programs from the AMR100 and importing them into Rivendell automatically with dates set where desired for over a year. I set the target folder in amb-ux.conf to my desired location on the Riv server and then run a script every few hours (or as often as desired) by a cron job that runs rdimport with all the options to set the carts, date-offsets, normalization, etc and it does it faithfully. The only glitch in my setup is that on the rare occasion that I reboot the server after updates (maybe2-3x per year), the amb-ux service needs to restart and when it does, all the last three days' audio files reload into my target folder for import which can cause duplicates in the library if I don't remove them first. There are ways around this which I am experimenting on and not being real versatile in linux and busy with many other things, this comes slow for me. Bottom line, if you are wanting to import audio from the AMR100 to play at a specific date and time, you can use rdimport and not mess with RDcatch. Others may have better enlightenment on this, however. If you are setting up RDcatch to get ftp files beyond the AMR100 files, I use Filezilla and chose to not automate the importation of these because of date and editing issues. The production people, often students, need to check the audio and make sure all the dates and titles are correct.

[RDD] Help!! RDimport broken after upgrade to 2.17!! - Working Again
I cannot explain what was wrong but I first rebooted the server and found an fs export issue that was on a shared drive not related to Rivendell. The manual import/export began to funtion on the clients but not the dropbox yet. After correcting the fs export error and re-exporting the fs list, dropbox began working. The other thing we did was to pray over it... and around here that can make a big difference.

Re: [RDD] CentOS 7.4 no boot. rdalsaconf won't open, no Livewire resources
Thanks for checking back with me. It seems to be solved...sort of. I found a friend who had a CentOS 7 appliance DVD and after 999 updates (must be older), it seems to run fine on both boxes that I have been trying. Interesting that you mention nfs 4. I noticed that the appliance installed with ext 3 and thought that was strange. Maybe ext 4 is a big part of the problem. Why haven't we heard about this? All installs lately using the script method that Fred recommends have been troublesome - as if CentOS 7 is picky about the hardware configuration and Riv RDAlsaconfig from the menu is broken. With the appliance install, everything works so I am happy about that but would sure like to understand why we haven't gotten the script method working. It sounds like we need to manually format the partitions ext 3 where appropriate before installing 7.

[RDD] Have to restart Riv to get sound card
I just installed CentOS 7 with Riv 2.16 on a new Asus i3 box. It all works except after reboots, I have to restart rivendell from the terminal for it to recognize the PCIe sound card. This is for another station to learn on so they gave me the box with an Asus Virtuoso 100 card installed. It shows as selected in Rdalsaconfig. Any ideas? Also, why in the latest script installs of Riv 2.16 does the menu for RDalsa not function on either CentOS 6.9 or 7.x? It will only open from the terminal. Has anyone else seen this?

I have an Intel i5 box that after installing kernel 3.10.0-327 from a DVD iso and running updates would no longer boot on kernel 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64 (Centos 7.4).

When I use the GUI menu, I get the PW prompt, then nothing. When run it from the command line, it can be configured EXCEPT that even though I installed LiveWire and the Axia utilities and it's tool opens and configures fine from the GUI, I cannot ever see LiveWire "cards" or resources available in RDalsaconfig or the host of RD Admin.

Re: [RDD] Building a music library.
And be sure to think through your groups before starting. Get that right from the beginning with expansion room on the cart number ranges and it's easier going forward. I encourage setting up schedule codes at the beginning too so you can assign the codes to the carts as you go but these can be modified easily after if you discover they aren't quite what you need.

[RDD] Stream Latency checker?
Has anyone come across an audio stream latency measurement tool that would work in CentOS? Axia showed me a tool for windows that they use a lot: dpclat by syscon but since windows works differently than linux, I wonder if it is necessary. I recently put a newer box on the air only to hear drop-outs every couple minutes. I have now upgraded and changed around the NICs between LiveWire and Rivendell and it seems OK so far, but I am wondering how I could check to make sure the audio streaming drivers and hardware are working well without long delays.

[RDD] airplay video loss overnight
This isn't a direct Rivendell issue but I am wondering if any of you have encountered this one: I installed a new Lenovo i5 airplay client on CentOS 7, having turned off all the sleep/suspend/hibernate settings in the power settings panel. I thought I had run this on airplay for several days to test ahead of installing, but don't remember. So during the first night on the air, the video display must have gone to sleep and would not awaken this morning. The automation was playing fine. I finally put us on backup automation and crashed it in order to regain the display. The only setting I found that hadn't been changed was a lock display after sleeping, but all the sleep settings were set on "never". Could the USB port have gone to sleep and thus, with wireless mouse and keyboard not able to wake it? (I just thought of this - I should have plugged a wired mouse or keyboard in to see if that would wake it.) Has anyone encountered this? Any ideas how to get the display back when you know the machine is running fine? Is there a power setting control I can set in the system from the terminal to be sure it never sleeps?

Re: [RDD] RDXport error
Thanks Wayne. I appreciate everyone who has taken time to help me. Yes, it doesn't import either. Unfortunately those commands a2ensite and a2enmod don't exist in RH distros like Centos. It looks like I would have to create some sort of sym-links to do the same thing. What I don't understand is that if the rd-bin.conf files are the same in the working and non-working machines and both have the same centos and rivendell versions installed, why would I need to change how apache operates? the only difference between the two is the type of BIOS requiring that I install Centos from a DVD iso and Rivendell from Paravel's download and process instead of installing it all from the appliance disk. The only other similar case I found so far was from 2011 when someone was compiling Rivendell from source and forgot to set --libexecdir=/var/snd/. Would there be something I need to correct on this?

Re: [RDD] RDXport error
I am now working from a complete install per Fred's instructions on the new machine and checked all the things mentioned in this thread comparing them to a working machine. I see no difference in the apache configs, error logs, etc. On the new machine, gam_server is running - the old beast raised its head again. Kit, you were right - the time is greyed out at the bottom of the library. So where should I look now? I talked to another station yesterday and they decided to not buy new machines for Rivendell. In their experience, Centos 7 works easier than 6 on the newer BIOS but refurbs work the best for Riendell installs. It seems to me that this issue will have to be addressed with EUFI BIOS going forward. Thanks for any other ideas. I have until Friday this week to return the machine.

Re: [RDD] Lenovo BIOS won't install bootable Riv appliance DVD
Back at it again I went through the install process for centos 6 as outlined in the link Fred sent. I know what I did wrong before: I installed the system from a rescue disk without noticing - I had both a full DVD iso and the rescue together. However, with a more complete install, I still have a couple of issues: RDAlsaConfig will only run and save from root. There must be a permissions issue somewhere. If I open it from rd, after I type in the root authentication, it does nothing. If I run it from a terminal as root, it opens but will not save in the gui. If I log onto the system as root, I can open and save as normal. Where should I look for this? Even though it is connecting fine to the server and will play audio from it, when I open a cut and click "Edit Markers", it gives the following error: "Unable to download peak data, error was: RDXport service returned an error". If I click OK, it opens without visual audio waves but still plays. I looked at httpd error log and see nothing different than my other machines. I copied the httpd.conf file over from a running machine and it made no difference. Where should I look next?

Re: [RDD] Lenovo BIOS won't install bootable Riv appliance DVD
I followed these steps fairly closely without the benefit of this guide the other day and had to install cdparanioa, codecs, and other components and got to the place where it mostly worked. RDalsaconfig would not launch from the gui and when I ran it from the terminal, it opened but couldn't save it to asound, when I opened a cut in RDlibrary, it gave an RDXport error and would not show much of the audio wave even though it would play it... and probably more that I didn't find.

[RDD] Lenovo BIOS won't install bootable Riv appliance DVD
Starting a new thread to not confuse things Trying to install the Rivendell DVD appliance iso on a new Lenovo i5 small form computer... If I choose UEFI BIOS for the DVD install, it will jump past the Rivendell install options menu to install Centos 6.6 and some components of Riv but Riv will not access it's own database, etc. The hard drive is bootable. If I choose Legacy BIOS for the DVD install, it allows Riv install options, says that it will install it on sdb even though there are no other hard drives, and it will not boot on the hard drive afterward. When I boot it with a live centos cd, it shows the hard drive as sda but the grub folder is empty except for splash.xpm.gz - no device map or other configs. I tried installing grub but can't see a difference - I may not know enough to do it. It's just missing too many components and I need to set up systems that others can easy work with. I've never run into this before. Any last suggestions before I return the lenovo to the store and look for an older machine? The move toward newer is because we use a high def display (27 in 2560x1440) in our main studio and older boxes don't support that.

Re: [RDD] Install on a lenovo 300S?
Yes, I understand. I have built several clients for our riv network using CentOS 6.x and Riv 2.15.2 now. I don't connect to the server until they are the same versions. The older systems load and configure easily but the newest, the lenovo, has been a pain. I can't even get the appliance DVD to load right. If I use legacy boot on it, it looks good but the hard drive won't boot. If I use the UEFI boot on the DVD, it skips the installation options and doesn't install all of the components needed for Riv to run with all of it's resources. If I install CentOS first, then Riv from the Paravel repo, I have to find all the missing components, it seems, unless I don't know all the steps. At this moment, I have everything working by that method except seeing the audio wave in the cuts and getting the RDXport error...so far. I would like a clean install from the DVD appliance disk if I can figure out how to get around the BIOS problems. Old machines are easy to use but I need to drive a high def display with the main computer. If I can't get this resolved this week, I will return it to the store and buy a newer used Dell.

Re: [RDD] RDXport error
Yes, /var/snd is mounted locally.. The library populates and I can play any of it from the server on the local machine but it does not show the audio wave form in Edit and another symptom is that only way to configure rdalsaconfig is from the terminal. The app in the menu only asks for the PW and then does nothing Something must be missing still. The problem is that this is a brand new lenovo i5 computer and the only way to get the DVD appliance to load is to use legacy boot on the DVD but then it will not boot off the hard drive when loaded. When I use UEFI on the DVD it jumps past the Rivendell selection menu and doesn't seem to completely install Rivendell but will reboot. Do you have any tricks to get the hard drive to boot after loading it? I would much rather use the appliance install to be sure it all is there and works.

[RDD] RDXport error
Riv 2.15.2 on CentOS 6.8, client on server. I had to download and install Rivendell from the repository because of BIOS issues preventing the DVD appliance from working right so have had to install missing components for audio and codecs. It now sees the server and plays but gives an error when I click on Edit Markers in the library: "Unable to download peak data, error was: 'RDXport service returned an error'". What might I still be missing? Now that I have formated and successfully installed CentOS and it reboots, might it work to install Rivendell from the DVD now?

Wayne, Yes, that worked. I first installed CentOS 6.7 from a live iso DVD I had and with the right BIOS settings -it seems that lenovo UEFI BIOS doesn't play well with kernels below 3.x, it rebooted fine. Then I downloaded Rivendell and the Key, installed as client, updated all, and now I need to make just a few modifications for our setup. It actually runs! Thanks for the tip.

I want to install a Rivendell client setup from the appliance on a new i5 lenovo 300S (small form factor) and haven't found a way to see and select the install options. It first asks if I want to check the media, then loads and jumps to the Centos language options. When finished, Rivendell will not run and seems to be missing components.

Re: [RDD] RDCatch normalize above -1dB?
I believe this is the digital scale where 0dB is absolute max before distortion so you would not want it at that level. I wonder if it has audio spikes that cause the average level to be much lower. As I understand it, normalization limits all the audio to the peaks to whatever level you set it to but does not compress so high fast spikes can cause all of it to be lower than desirable. In those cases, we have cleaned it up and re-leveled it in Audacity.

Re: [RDD] Dropbox
No. As long as it has the correct path and extension, I understand and have observed that within about 30 seconds of no further changes to the drop box folder, it begins importing. It helps to have a folder and file name specified for the error log as well so you can troubleshoot and see that it is working. I set up a folder in rd_xfer for each of our groups and when the production people have music or announcements, etc ready, they drag and drop them in the correct folder. In a minute they check rdlibrary and edit names or whatever they want.

It should work to delete the cart with a script or by some means, then when the dropbox imports new cuts to the specific cart, it recreates it with only the new cuts in it.

Re: [RDD] RDCATCH 2.15.1 Export problem
We just upgraded this weekend to Riv 2.15.1 on Centos 6.8. thinking the export bug was fixed in the automatic updates. Now we have corrupted files on export that will not burn to a CD for listener requests without first running them through Audacity. It seems like files under 250 MB work fine and over that become corrupted. I tested exporting without metadata and it did not change the problem. I see that this was fixed in github but that is new to me. How do I find what I am looking for and how do I use it? It looks like I would need to compile Riv from source code by components, true?

Re: [RDD] change end date with rdimport?
Problem solved as best I can tell so far. I found a few solutions... Yes, those options for rdimport that you mention, Wayne are not in the published list. I used the enddate-offset option and it works great. However, I could not figure out the syntax for using --set-datetimes. Is there an updated list of options with how to use them for rdimport somewhere? Wayne, if you have a more complete list, would you mind sharing it? The solution I chose uses rdimport in a script with a cron job to import the downloaded files from the amb-ux folder. I can easily offset the end date to make it equal the start date which accomplishes what we were doing manually. Another solution suggested was to use rdcatch which I am still playing with. It requires rdcatch to "download" the files from the amb-ux folder at a set time each day so that it assigns or makes available that file for the day, if I understand how it works. This does not suit us as well but I will keep trying ways to use it. The other option requires using a windows machine running the Amb-os GUI, to either change the files to wav (native MP2) and eliminate the cart chunk, then import them with the offset date desired, or it looks like one could leave them in MP2 and have them import at set times or replace file dates... not sure yet. The only disadvantage I see so far to what I am doing is that if we change our program selection, we will need to update the script to reflect the changes. I am assuming that the cartchunk dating will stay consistent from Amb-os. So far it has. The good thing is that this solution stays within linux with one simple script and runs on its own. We'll see how it goes.

Does rdimport (or dropbox) allow any options for changing the start and end dates from the cart chunk? More specifics below.

[RDD] Log played two cuts of same cart at the same time!
On Riv 2.14.1 Has anyone else ever had this condition? We had various episodes of a particular short program as multiple cuts in one cart. Some had the air date set (past, present, and future) and a few new ones did not yet have an air date set (the student forgot). Somehow AIrplay started "today's" date cut along with an undated cut at the same time and played them both over the air until I got connected to fix it. We wouldn't normally have this condition but just wondering if it was a rare bug or random glitch.

Re: [RDD] Pause a recording in RDLibrary?
Interesting. We use Audacity on our Riv machines to do quick edits but have not used it for critical recording mainly because I wasn't sure how clean and professional it would be and because we would need to install a second high quality sound card for recording. When editing, we play back over the MB sound or a simple sound card. I guess if we don't care about clean balanced inputs we could use a regular card. It's just simpler for the operator to record into the Riv playout when he is doing a live interview but I can rearrange things and no, pause in that case isn't super critical.

[RDD] Pause a recording in RDLibrary?
Is there a way to pause a recording in RDLibrary? We often record live interviews to play again later and it's easiest to record directly into a cart and then edit later as needed. Sometimes we would like to pause the recording for station breaks or announcements but if we do, we have to start again in a new cart. Can a pause function be added to this or is it too complicated?

Re: [RDD] New Rivendell Appliance Setup
If it would help and I can get to it, I need to update our in-house setup instructions for servers and clients, starting with the appliance installation, and would be willing to make a more generic version available to others. I am not an expert either but have figured out how to do it with the help of others. Yes, I forgot some steps in my email and did not give enough detail. Sorry about that.

Re: [RDD] New Rivendell Appliance Setup
Not to jump into the middle of this discussion but for what it's worth, you will need to change 3 things in rd.conf to get it working. If you have not changed the user names that came with the install, then make the following changes: [Identity] ; These entries are used to define the system user and group that will ; own the audio files. AudioOwner=rd AudioGroup=users Then point the client to your server: [mySQL] ; The connection parameters for the MySQL server. Hostname=rdserver (the name you gave to your server or the IP address works also) Loginname=rduser Password=letmein Database=Rivendell Driver=QMYSQL3 We disable mySQL on the clients. Also make sure that you add all of your hosts to the hosts file with their IP addresses on all machines. You need to make sure you give all the correct permissions on the server mySQL - I assume you found directions for doing that from what you said earlier. Be sure to create an exportfs for the shared folders if you have some such as rd_xfer and export it on the server, and then add the shared file(s) on your fstab list on each client and mount them. That's what I remember without being where I can look at my notes. Hope it helps.

Re: [RDD] ASI Cards
For what it's worth, we had some AS!6012 cards that work fine (1 in 2 out) and will continue to use them a little bit longer and then I purchased ASI6214 (2 in 4 out) cards on eBay for less than $300 each. That may sound expensive but they are much cheaper than new and are high quality and work well. There are a lot of ASI cards on ebay for sale at times. If we/when upgrade to digital consoles and Livewire, planned for later in the year, I will likely have some of these to sell.

Re: [RDD] Appliance Versions...
My observation is that gam_server only shows up on the clients. We're using NFS to mount the file shares. I wonder if it's connected with that. My problem with the appliance install was using a 6 yr old box and the MB sound instead of a sound card. Riv didn't like the sound config. After configuring asound.config, it would run riv but not allow audio. Not sure if that was permissions or still sound card issues. I don't want to spend a lot of time on an old box but was going to use it as a stand alone alternate audio when updating the main airplay. It would normally be what they use for internet, phone screening, etc. I will either get another sound card or buy a simple new box.

Re: [RDD] RDAirplay froze, gam_server?
I had a cloned hard drive for our main airplay in a drawer from 6 months ago so installed it and only updated rivendell. It works great. That does not solve the overall issue here but will keep us on the air. If you can't find a good work around, I will start rebuilding all the clients with 6.7 but that is not my preference. I'll give this a few more days if you think you can solve it. I guess you need to see the problem first.

OK. I am praying that Fred and/or others find a solution fast but thinking of building an alternate machine to use in place of our main airplay. It ran fine all night and when the operator came in this morning and began a live show it all crashed. He rebooted and it said it was missing daemons.

Re: [RDD] RDAirplay froze, gam_server?
I hate to admit that I didn't even notice that it updated to the new version when I applied all the hundreds of updates in waiting for the next riv version. Still learning... I would think that our processors would be plenty adequate but since riv is single theaded I guess if gam_server and riv are using the same processor it can happen. I look foward to the fix. I'll ignore your last comment :/ Thanks to you all for your hard work.

OK, it's a hardware (sound card) issue. I looked at /var/log/messages and found a sample rate mis-match so added "rate 48000" to the end of the /etc/asound.conf file. You can find the discussion and solution in a thread early in Feb 2016. Now I must have permission issues because the Library won't let me see the test tone and grays out most of the buttons. I usually install the appliance on newer computers and usually with ASI sound cards so this one has special challenges.

Re: [RDD] Appliance Versions...
I spoke too soon. I forgot to reboot after all the updates. Now Rivendell daemons fail to start. Mysql works fine. Can stop rivendell service but when start it, if fails. Where should I look? Some update broke it.

If this helps narrow it down, the problem only appears on the clients, not servers, and not on a stand alone that I just set up.

Re: [RDD] Appliance Versions...
Back on the appliance install... I just installed from the appliance DVD 2.6.6-x86_64iso. As soon as it installed and rebooted, I ran RDAdmin before updating anything and it ran fine. I then ran updates for everything from the terminal and it still works fine. Perhaps the key now is to be sure to run RDAmin before updating... or it was just a fluke that doing it all at once before running RDAdmin failed to start Riv daemons the other day. For what it's worth.

Re: [RDD] Appliance Versions...
I also just installed stand alone Rivendell from the appliance disk today that has always worked for me but this time Rivendell daemons would not start. I always run updates after initially installing - all 500+ of them this time. It was on Dell i3 Inspiron 660. I haven't taken the time to investigate. Thinking about re-installing.
