Re: [RDD] Hello guys

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi Andrejs,

I don't have Riv in front of me to check but you use log chains in your
logs to automatically go to the next log/day when it has finished.

This works fine if you can guarantee your timings but if you have any sort
of live shows with presenters who don't pay attention you might find your
midnight change over is all over the place.  This can lead to odd cuts in
songs when things realign for hourly news or whatever.

What I did to fix this was to use the aux log.  I had two events there.
About 10 seconds before midnight I did a make next on the log chain. 5
seconds before the midnight swap I did a fade down and play next which got
the log to swap over on time with a nicer fade rather than a hard cut.

My logs were always over filled to help prevent dead air at this point.

Hope this makes sense,

Wayne

[RDD] Song plays but no VU or sound (Ubu 18+ and equivalent Debian)

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi all,

I've been away a while so apologies if this is already solved (I checked,
couldn't find an answer).

With Ubuntu 18.04 I went through the usual source install procedures
everything went pretty well, far less source patching than there used to be
(even QT3 went through without messing).  Just the standard mysql auth
socket annoyances.

Anyway Rivendell "plays", everything appears normal, cae'd logs that its
starting/playing audio etc.  However you get no VU Meter movement or sound.

I'm obviously missing something (it used to be that the playback would
freeze so this is a new bug on me).  Any hints would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Wayne

Hi,

Have a look at the Ubuntu xenial instructions on the wiki.  They should
apply to the latest Debian for qt3.

Re: [RDD] RD on Latest Ubuntu 18.04

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

The pow10 to pow(10.0 etc fix does indeed work.  Just be aware that you
will have to remove the mysql secure password plugin (from mysql
shell: uninstall
plugin validate_password; ) otherwise you get errors in various places. You
will also need to change the root user from socket auth to password
authorisation otherwise you won't be able to set up the initial database
and rivendell database user.  There was also one new dependency for source
install libssl-dev.

Other than that, Riv has come a long way since 2.15.  Everything seems to
work without all the patching required back when 16.04 came out so if
you're following the old Ubuntu Xenial guide, ignore all of the rivendell
source code patches and from the little I've poked around, you don't even
need MyISAM any more as the SERVICES table no longer have all the CLOCK
fields like it used to.

I tested this very briefly with Riv 2.19.2 so your mileage my vary.

Regards,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Cloning a Rivendell hard drive

[Wayne Merricks]

Just to chip in.  I recommend using clonezilla.  Just make a cd or bootable
USB with the iso from their website.  Then boot the machine with it and
follow the instructions.

It lets you direct disk copy although it is more useful to image to a
network drive or whatever else you fancy.  I normally use it with SSH but
you can also use Windows shares if you prefer.

Re: [RDD] Additional Main Log Outputs

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

In this case I'd just use JACK.  You essentially get a software switcher
with Rivendell on one side and your sound card outs on the other.  You can
then hook them up as required.

I suppose you could also use ALSA directly but im not completely sure how
best to duplicate with that.

Alternatively buy an audio distributer and do it in hardware instead.

Regards,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Have to restart Riv to get sound card

[Wayne Merricks]

Is there any chance that pulse audio is stealing your card from Riv?

Also when the card is "missing" does it show up in a play -L?

Finally a restart is generally not the solution.  If the card is there but
Riv isn't working a simple killall caed ripcd rdcatchd should do the same
as a full restart as far as Riv is concerned.

If that doesn't fix things you're more likely looking at hardware oddness
than Riv dying.

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Log Locking

[Wayne Merricks]

Just to weigh in on the technical side as someone who has both programmed
software that does this and also someone on the help desk that dealt with
other software.

Nothing is perfect.

Things that can break a software lock:

* Computer crash or shutdown as already noted.
* User starts working and goes to lunch/a meeting/whatever
* Database server restarted/crashed (most clients can end up in a weird
state at this point).

Things that seem like a good idea:

* Implement a 30minute time out.
* Allow IT to override the lock outs.
* Allow "more important" staff to override the locks.

Why they're not:
* User goes to lunch etc and lock times out/overridden and then all their
work is lost.  Bonus points if the work lost was by some of the more
awkward/higher ranking staff members.
* You get to watch the arguments for the third one which can be amusing.

Having said all of this, having a lock option of any sort and understanding
the problems it may cause is probably a good choice to have for some sites.

Regards,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Every second cart playing no audio after 2.16.0 upgrade

[Wayne Merricks]

By default Rivendell will alternate between the sound card outputs if you
have more than one set up inside the host settings with rdadmin.

If you go to rdadmin, edit hosts, your pc name, rdairplay.  Are you set to
output to different ports?

Try setting them all to port 0 especially for the second output and see if
that makes a difference.

Re: [RDD] Audio issues

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Looking through the guide there seems to be a step missing which would mean
when the daemons are loaded on startup they will be loaded as root and then
jack/pulse/some combination will load as your logged in user.

Jack only allows the same user to use it.  The startup order is also
crucial.  Anyway try this in a terminal

ps -C caed -C jackd -C pulseaudio -o user,group,cmd

This should show you what users those three things are running as.  Caed is
part of Rivendell.

If they're not the same try this:

sudo killall caed ripcd rdcatchd

Then in your app menu find JACK Control (or run qjackctl)

It may already be running near the clock.   Open it up and click Stop and
then start.  Judging by the scripts in the tutorial this should load
Rivendell etc and be working.

What you'll want to do after that (assuming the user problem) is disable
the Rivendell start up script and remove the super user bit from the
Rivendell daemons.

Have a look at the disabling Rivendell section at the top of this page

http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Debian_6_Configure_Rivendell_2.1.1_with_JACK

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Running shell commands via RML

[Wayne Merricks]

I may be wrong but it could be using whatever user the daemons are running
as but then that doesn't make sense as normally that is root unless you
have changed things.

Unless you haven't logged out/in since adding your user to the dialout
group?

The only other thing I can think of is Debian 8 doing something odd?

If I create a macro with a line such as:

RN /home/scott/relay.sh 5!

I have just built a new Rivendell machine that uses such a shell command to
fire a relay on a USB relay box that appears as /dev/ttyUSB0.

The comand works flawlessly... if I run it manually from a command line.
Rivendell, however, executes the shell script, but the script won't talk to
the box unless I chmod o+w /dev/ttyUSB0 . I don't want to do that; I'd
rather add the user in question to the dialout group, if I can figure out
what user it is.

Rivendell is running as the user 'scott'. 'scott' is already a member of
the dialout group; therefore, the command must be executing as some other
user, but which one?

This is RD version 2.15.3 running on Debian 8.

The box is a KMTronic Ltd. Model U8CR. I've used them before on Rivendell
systems and have not had this problem. In the past, adding 'scott' to the
dialout group always got the box working. I wonder what's changed.

Re: [RDD] rdxport.cgi problem

[Wayne Merricks]

Is it the Rivendell Apache configuration permissions problem?  The default
config is for Apache 2.2 (it might be 2.0) and below but if you're running
2.4 you can't use the allow/deny directives.  Instead you have to use
require directives.

See the top of this section for more info
http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/UbuntuXenial#Setup_Rivendell_for_Apache

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Hard drive use music server.

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Linux doesn't really care where directories are in terms of physical
drives.  All directories are just a link to some location.

This can be on the same drive, on a different drive, to a completely
different directory on the same drive or even across the network/internet
with things like samba, NFS and sshfs.

So short story is, create an audio directory on your 1tb drive, give it
read and write permissions to the Rivendell group and user.  Then mount it
to /var/snd.

It will be something like sudo mount /path/to/1tb/audio /var/snd

You could also use symlinks, just be aware that in both cases you might
have to add an entry to /etc/fstab to make the 1tb drive mount
automatically on startup.

Regards,

Wayne

A lot to learn still but excited about using Rivendell. Still confused

see where Rivendell sets up all the RD folders on it with just the OS and
Rivendell software on the main drive leaving a ton of unused space on both
drives and no explanation in the wiki. I was setting up as a Network Client
with 320 ghdd as main drive and 1 tbhdd for audio. So advice on setup for
both music server and playout. I have a elementary understanding, we'll
maybe more than that since I have gone from trying to create my own setup
on Mint XFCE to just running the Appliance and excited about moving
forward. Thank you all for your patience and help.

Re: [RDD] Log generation

[Wayne Merricks]

No there is nothing built in.  You can use rdlogmanager with some command
line options to manually run it.  Add this to cron and you're done.

Be aware that if you have a non-graphical OS rdlogmanager sometimes moans
about not being able to access X.org and refuses to run.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell and Ubuntu.

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Rivendell works fine on Ubuntu 14.04 and is really easy with the Tryphon
repos (hasn't been updated since 2.10.3).  If you use 16.04 it has newer
versions of MySQL and has issues.  You must use at least Rivendell version
2.15 which fixed a bunch of MySQL null date issues.

Last time I tried it, there were still some font issues but it was usable.

Search for Rivendell Ubuntu Xenial if you want the wiki page full of
instructions, I need to update some of the page as it refers a lot to 2.13
but broadly speaking you shouldn't have to patch any of the C code before
compiling as this was fixed in 2.15, other than that the source
instructions are the same.

Regards,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] RDXport error

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

This is probably going to be an Apache'ism.  First can you just use any 
old web browser to view the Rivendell cgi pages:


http://localhost/rd-bin/addcart.html

Next I'm afraid I have to get into "CentOS" guessing games as I'm only 
familiar with Debian based setups.  Ubuntu changed a bunch of stuff 
recently which did things like always give you 403 forbidden errors and 
didn't enable cgi so it would never work.


First off if you have 403s you need to edit the rd-bin.conf file (I 
think this change came in with Apache 2.4+):


On line 23 you will see:


Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Delete these two lines:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

...and replace with the new way of doing things:

Require all granted

With that done copy re-enable the rd-bin site via apache:

sudo a2ensite rd-bin
sudo service apache2 reload

We also need to enable the CGI module otherwise your audio won't import 
(which might be the problem you're describing):


sudo a2enmod cgi
sudo service apache2 restart

Hope this helps, in theory the steps should be the same under CentOS.

Regards,

Wayne

On my good machine I get the same message back.

In the httpd error log, the only thing that I see that is different
than a good machine is:

SELinux policy enabled; httpd running as context

in access log: All looked the same as a good machine except where I
ran lynx:  "GET /rdxport.cgi HTTP/1.0"

So if it is not found, what do I change?

rdxport.cgi appears correctly located in /var/www/rd-bin with root
permission. I dont know where to find execcgi. Searches on both good
and the machine in question results in 0 found.

Re: [RDD] Problem with log chain

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

As a quick note, don't use timed events for midnight and you'll be 
fine, it works most of the time, but occasionally timing glitches mean 
it doesn't.


You can use cron as mentioned however Riv will work if you use Aux logs 
and no hard midnight timings.


I do this:

Main Log:

-- Hard Timed make next for 23:59:50 just before the log chain

Aux Log:

-- Hard Timed Macro Fade down over 5 seconds and then play next for 
23:59:55


This achieves the following:

23:59:50 all excess dumped from the main log leaving the currently 
playing event and the log chain

23:59:55 Aux kicks in and fades down the main log
00:00:00 Aux "plays" the log chain via play next

I've used this for the past 4 years without any issues.  I also use Aux 
for top/bottom of the hour fades in a similar way, just remember to use 
a sleep macro the same length as your fade or everything instantly 
executes:


e.g.

Fade 3000 (3 second fade)
Sleep 3000 (3 second wait)
Play Next

Regards,

Wayne

Ive been using the auto generated log chain every day for a year now

anything extra in the hour. When it finishes, the next days log 
loads.

Its always a little after midnight but not enough to worry about. I
have bottom of the hour and top of the hour IDs that are timed make
next that also gives a bit of time correction throughout the day when

Re: [RDD] RDXport error

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Sometimes also happens when the apache config hasn't been implemented 
properly.


Only usually on a source install mind.

Try copying a working rivendell apache conf from another machine.

Under Debian/Ubuntu the conf looks a bit like this, remember to change 
/usr/lib/cgi-bin to wherever the rivendell cgi is located:



  Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Require all granted
  
SetHandler default-handler
  
  
SetHandler default-handler
  
  
SetHandler default-handler
  
  
SetHandler default-handler
  
  
SetHandler cgi-script
  
  
SetHandler cgi-script
  
  
SetHandler cgi-script
  

ScriptAlias /rd-bin/ "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/rivendell/"

The problem is that this is a brand new lenovo i5 computer and the

it will not boot off the hard drive when loaded. When I use UEFI on

it jumps past the Rivendell selection menu and doesn't seem to

install to be sure it all is there and works.

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

What might I still be missing? Now that I have formated and

Re: [RDD] Interesting USB Serial Issue

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Probably not related but I had a similar issue when using a real serial 
port.  It would be fine for a few days and then would stop receiving via 
Riv.


In the end I stopped using Rivendell as a go between and used screen 
combined with some shell scripts to relay to Riv via rmlsend.  It has 
been reliable ever since.


Its worth a try either way although it may not make a difference:

Re: [RDD] Renamed group won't show in library.

[Wayne Merricks]

The numbers thing, don't worry about it, that is the way Rivendell works.

The only other thing I can think of is that the GROUPS are ok but the 
CARTS themselves are not renamed properly.


In the CART table there is a GROUP_NAME, this needs to match the group 
you renamed.

Wayne,

Thanks. I looked at everything in GROUPS and AUDIO_PERMS and it all looks
right. The other thing the user did was import the carts she wanted into
BEDS instead of STINGS. Those carts have cart numbers that belong in
STINGS. When I checked those carts in the CART table, they all show up as
being in STINGS, but Rivendell sees them in BEDS.

I'm wondering if restarting the Rivendell daemons on the server will fix
the problem. I'll try that next unless someone has a better idea.

Also next to the group make sure you have a SERVICE_NAME that matches the

If there are multiple services, create one row for each service but change
the SERVICE_NAME each time.

There are a few rename bugs in Riv when all you're doing is changing case
that seems to get it confused.

FWIW, it doesn't show on the server, either. If we go into Admin, Manage
Groups, STINGS is there. The cart range does not conflict with any other
groups and was not changed. I did notice that there was no active service,
so I moved Production over to active. (It's our only service).

We're using rivendell-2.10.3-1 on debian wheezy.

Re: [RDD] Macro Help

[Wayne Merricks]

Just to combine this with Kyle's advice what you're after is either "\ 
" to denote spaces or the quotes like Kyle suggests e.g.


rmlsend "PP S1 1 1!"

or assuming I get my delimiters right:

rmlsend PP\ S1\ 1\ 1\!

the \ means this is a space in the current argument and not a 
new argument.  But yeah Kyle's is easier to read by far.


You should then be able to look at syslog to see if Riv picks up the 
RML command.


On 2017-01-18 20:25, Steve Varholy wrote:

However, it still just responds with the help listing.

 to escape any special characters (such as spaces or bang [!]
characters)
 to protect them from the shell.

 Examples:
 rmlsend LL TestLog!
 Send the RML command 'LL 1 TestLog!' to the local host.

 rmlsend --to-host=host.mydomain.com --to-port=5858
--from-file=test.rml
 Send the RML commands in 'test.rml' to the system at
'host.mydomain.com' at
 port 5858.

 It's a command line solution.

 You need a way to tell the system that a space is not a delimeter,
 as it always is, so the is the "escape" character.
 It tells the system that the very next single character is to be
 taken literally, and not by its normal meaning.
 The same "escape sequence" applies to all special characters that
 have dedicated meanings.
 *, ,the itself, etc.

Re: [RDD] Macro Help

Hi,


rmlsend is a command line utility to run macros on any Rivendell 
computer (--to-host to change machines or leave it for localhost), if 
you are using macro carts you don't need rmlsend.



The \ is a command line problem, you can't use ! in most linux shells as 
it is a special character so \! means this is a literal ! and not a 
special !.

You might be getting hit by case sensitivity.  Try this:

The broadcast tools stuff tends to have dip switches where you can 
change the modes, you might have to change it to pull down or pull up 
(basically the reverse of what it is now).



There are no notes that say you need to do anything special for the

Re: [RDD] *_STACK Grows Indefinitely

[Wayne Merricks]

This appears to be correct although be aware that Riv does sometimes 
like to pass table names as variables.  I replied via github with more 
of an explanation.


It hasn't caused me any problems in over 4 years of Riv however log 
generation is slower than it was when I started and STACK growth is 
probably a contributing factor.



On 11/01/17 22:17, Patrick wrote:

Is it correct that the *_STACK table for each service will grow indefinitely

Everytime I generate a log KDHE_STACK grows by about 1,100 rows. It is now past 
40,000.

I went through rdevent_line.cpp and other source in /lib and I don't see 
anything that ever deltes rows.

If this is true, that the rows are never deleted, wouldn't this eventually be a 
problem?

The way the Javascript/HTML works is similar to some of your ideas.  It 
is all drag and drop so lets say I have my entire weeks grid loaded and 
I wan't to copy clock NEW to 9am all week.  While holding ctrl, I drag 
NEW across the entire 9am row and they get highlighted.  When I release 
Ctrl/stop dragging they are all replaced.  Then I click save and its 
done.


The real time saver though is the clock editor.  Being able to 
insert/move events by dragging and dropping and have the start times 
auto calculate down the list really helped me make major clock changes 
quickly.

Re: [RDD] Corrupt/Move Database Question

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Two things, what Riv version are you using and what MySQL version?  
There are changes to MySQL v 5.7+ that make life awkward for earlier Riv 
versions than around 2.15.1.


You might also have MyISAM vs InnoDB errors with the SERVICES table.

Either way, you can manually create the rduser and see if that helps:

$ myqsl -u root -p
mysql> create user 'rduser'@'%' identified by 'letmein';
mysql> grant all on Rivendell.* to 'rduser'@'%';
mysql> flush privileges;

RD Admin should log in then assuming you have enabled mysql to listen 
on all addresses and not just local host (look at bind-address in 
my.cnf).


Run rdadmin from the command line and send any errors you get back 
here, they are usually more helpful than the GUI errors.

Wayne

Re: [RDD] GPO

[Wayne Merricks]

Can you test it with serial commands? I have used screen in the past to 
do this but any terminal program will work.


E.g for serial port 1 at 9600 baud:

screen -fn -L -d -m -S switcher /dev/ttyS1 9600

Then you send commands like this:

screen -S switcher -X stuff cmd_to_send

On the ACS 8.2 I have, lets say I want output 1 to unlatch, output 2 to 
latch and output 3 to pulse (all on unit 0). I would send screen 3 times 
with the following command:


*0OR1F

*0OR2L

*0OR3P

e.g. screen -S switcher -X stuff *0OR3P

That way at least you know if your device is working or if Rivendell is 
having issues.  You can obviously use bash scripts to send via screen 
and use an RN macro in Riv to achieve the same thing if Rivendell isn't 
working for you.


Also be aware that some dip switch settings may have to be changed in 
order for Rivendell to use it properly (I had to take the lid off mine 
but some of the units have them on the back).

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Appliance Issue

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Might be a long shot but I've had instances recently where some USB 
sound cards are not detected by Riv at all (I can't remember if 
rdalsaconfig listed them).  It was something to do with the card only 
supporting 24bit sound and whatever Riv does do swap between 16/32bit 
didn't work.


The only way I could use this card in the end was to use JACK first and 
make Riv use JACK instead of ALSA directly.


I didn't have the time to figure out why this would be the case..

Wayne

I did move them down and hit save. Rivendell still does see them.

Re: [RDD] MySQL DB Creation

[Wayne Merricks]

Yes don't let QT3 scare you.  I have some Ubuntu 16.04 scripts here but 
they should work for Debian.

You might have to flush privileges too.  Then just load rdadmin and it
will create the DB for you.  If the database/user already exists
(partially or otherwise) then it can get into a situation where it won't
run as the schema is incorrect.

Flushed


I've never had to use a DB create script unless Riv (there are some old
files from aeons ago I think, when riv was still a v1 release but you
shouldn't be using these).  There was talk of doing something like this
a few weeks/months ago.  I don't think it is complete yet but if you are
building from source downloading the 2.15.1 release rather than cloning
the git repo is the way to go.

The issue with downloading 2.15.1 is Qt3 as this is unavailable in
Debian 8 or unstable. So I need to compile from github master, which has
Qt4 support. However the master branch seems to have removed the
functionality of creating the DB if it is not present.

Basically, drop the db/user and run rdadmin from the terminal and we
should be able to figure out what is going on from there (there is a
slim chance user creation is failing but this was patched in 2.15.1).

The result is the same - Couldn't open MySQL connection on "localhost"
when running rdadmin. Unfortunately there is no more detail then that.

Thanks
Kyle

Re: [RDD] MySQL DB Creation

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Building from source is the same procedure.  You just need to install 
mysql-server before you run rdadmin and check you can connect to it with 
root and whatever password you chose.


I run/have ran Rivendell on Debian 6, 7, Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 for no 
other reason than I am more familiar with Debian based stuff.  You can 
also use the tryphon.eu repos to get an easy apt-get install rivendell 
rivendell-server line however they haven't been updated since v2.10.


Be aware that Ubuntu 16.04 and by extension Debian 8 (9?) upped the 
MySQL version number to 5.7 which has some stricter null interpretations 
that makes life interesting.  You will need to be using the latest Riv 
2.15 version which has patches to fix this.


You will also have some fun and games getting QT3 installed from 
source.  Short story is use Ubuntu 14.04 or Debian 7 with the tryphon 
repos unless you specifically need later versions of Rivendell and you 
will have a very easy time on Debian based distros.


Regards,

Wayne

Great, thanks. This worked on the broadcast appliance, but building from
source. That just responds 'Could not open MySQL connection on
"localhost"'. This is not too much of an issue currently as I am still
evaluating Rivendell to see if it fits our use-case, but down the line
it would be nice to install this on a Debian base instead of CentOS.

Re: [RDD] Trouble - database mismatch and audio converter error

[Wayne Merricks]

Assuming both distros are the same you can just update the playback 
however be aware that if you are using the tryphon repos on the playback 
machine 2.10.3 is the latest version that has been packaged there.  You 
might be forced to either revert or do a source install to get 2.15.1 on 
it.

So... I'm kind of hoping I can do the same thing with the

I'm feeling much better about my situation.

Greetings from North America Marcelo!

Have you seen or tried to install the Rivendell Debian package from
http://debian.tryphon.eu/ ? That might be an easier way to get
Rivendell
installed on your Wheezy system.

It's a little hard to tell why you are getting those type errors. It
would help to see the output from your configure step: can you
send the
contents of config.log?

Hope this helps!

Re: [RDD] Dual Monitors

[Wayne Merricks]

If you have any recent Intel they will drive 2 monitors on the open 
source monitors very well for standard desktop use.  Failing that any of 
the older NVIDIA cards should work fine.  I'm running a passively cooled 
Nvidia GT610 which cost me about £40 a few years ago.  In my experience 
running two cards just causes problems and sadly even though I don't 
agree with some of the NVIDIA ways of doing things, AMD GPUs are still a 
bit crashy (or they overheat like crazy on the linux drivers and spin 
all the fans up).


One caveat, I don't know what driver versions Centos 6 has for the open 
source graphics and I have had freezes with the NVIDIA blob drivers on 
occasion.


Short story, Intel if you can (but not Skylake yet), failing that Nvidia 
on the open source drivers or the blob if necessary.

Re: [RDD] change end date with rdimport?

[Wayne Merricks]

I'm not sure about the cart chunk but there are options for:

--startdate-offset
--enddate-offset

There are also options for set-daypart-times and set-datetimes

Does rdimport (or dropbox) allow any options for changing the start

If not, is there a way to modify it with a script to automate it 
something like: enddate=startdate, or in some cases null out the start 
and enddate and then import?


Specific problem to solve: we continuously receive about 15 different 
programs via Amb-os and they come with a 3 day range for each episode. 
Some must play in order and we play the same episode twice during the 
day. Therefore, today's episode and tomorrow's episode are both 
playable on any given day so the log will often play today's in the 
morning and tomorrow's in the evening. For now, we manually find 
change them.  Other programs do not need an air date so we disable it.

Re: [RDD] Audio Converter Error.

[Wayne Merricks]

Probably permissions on /var/snd.  As your logged in Rivendell user, you 
should be able to create files in your /var/snd directory.


Just to make sure, change the /var/snd group to rivendell and add group 
read/write/execute permissions to the directory.  You will also need 
read/write permissions to all the files in the directory.


sudo chgrp rivendell /var/snd

sudo chmod g+rwx /var/snd

sudo chmod -R g+rw /var/snd

However. A new problem arrived. I'm unable to import any audio through 
RDImport Dropbox or even add a single file through RDLibrary. I get an

Try this:

sudo mv /var/snd /var/snd_original

Then mount /var/snd on the new device to /var/snd on the original.  If 
it is an entire blank partition you might be able to do it like this:


sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /var/snd

If it is a drive with its own stuff and a random directory for /var/snd 
you might have to use the bind parameter:


sudo mount --bind /path/to/drive/snd /var/snd

Symlinks can be hit and miss depending on what program is meant to be

Re: [RDD] Now and Next

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Just to check the obvious I use the following udp.conf for the udp rlm:

[Udp1]
IpAddress=127.0.0.1
UdpPort=
FormatString=CART=%n\nTITLE=%t\nARTIST=%a\nALBUM=%l\nMS=%h\n
Encoding=0
ProcessNullUpdates=1
MasterLog=Onair
Aux1Log=No
Aux2Log=No

Change Onair to Yes if  you don't use on air flags (TA 0/1!). Then in 
rdadmin -> hosts -> edit host -> rdairplay -> configure now and next 
params, I fill this out for the loadable modules:


Path: /usr/lib/rivendell/rlm_udp.rlm
Argument: /path/to/udp.conf

Then you have to turn on now and next for the music groups you want to 
report now and next for:


rdadmin -> manage groups

Tick "Transmit Now & Next Data" for each group you need to send now and 
next info.


Restart rdairplay to pick up the changes.

Re: [RDD] Pause a recording in RDLibrary?

[Wayne Merricks]

Just as an FYI, I use Audacity and JACK to share the sound card with 
Riv.  Via Audacity preferences and some JACK wizardry we even force 
Audacity to not use the main play out so in essence you can record and 
play back while live on air without making Audacity live.


The options to open the library etc directly seem interesting though.

Interesting. We use Audacity on our Riv machines to do quick edits but

how clean and professional it would be and because we would need to

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

Dear Al,
  Sorry - I missed that Posting somehow..

Yes, the Audacity code we added is kinda like that - specifically
   Menu Choices under File
Browse Rivendell Library
Export To Rivendell Library
Export Selection to Rivendell Library.

The version we originally used (and still use) did this via Mysql
calls, and a Samba mount, and we copied the data from
Windows->Linux...

The latest version - (which I have yet to test thoroughly -
because we are not there yet... we are still on Old Rivendell 1.5
believe it or not...)
is Rivendell 2.0 compatible. It uses a Rivendell C API Library
(which I wrote with lots of help from Fred G.) to talk to the
Rivendell
Web API to put things in/take things out of Rivendell.  Since
Rivendell 2.0 doesn't allow direct content access - you have to
use the web interface - (ie apache).
so I wrote the C API to create the http calls to pass into the
Rivendell Web API.  Our production version IS running with the new
code - it simply isn't
using the new code cause it figures out which DB it sees - and
since we are not on the 2.0 database schema - it doesn't use that
new code.
(There are 100 plus Windows machines running Audacity - so WHEN we
do upgrade to 2.0 - I needed it to be smart enough to easily be
flipped
to 2.0 - rather than manually install 100 + NEW executables - but
I digress)...

The Riv C API Library isn't out on  GitHub yet I don't think - it
may only be in house right now.will have to check.

I have tested the Rivendell 2.0 version - but it has not been put
into Production use "Yet" That's a ways down the road for us -
for too many reasons to list here - ...

The only caveat about the new 2.0 version is that the Mysql calls
are still in the code - because we needed to have browse capability,
and the Web API simply did not work well for giving us a list of
Carts/Cuts and sorting capabilities (you can sort on Cut
Description, Cart Title, Cart/Cut Number
in our version when browsing the library).

Getting Mysql libraries to work is a bit of work, especially since
Audacity uses Visual Studio C++, WxWidgets, etc but it
works...and I did write a version
a few years ago for Ubuntu, (and I also wrote one for Mac - but I
have no idea where that code isand I start sweating just
thinking about it... ;)...

We have been using our Audacity version for Rivendell  1.5.2 for
8+ years...Latest Audacity versions I have built with are Audacity
2.0.3 (Win 7) and
Audacity  2.1.2. (Win 10).

[RDD] Ubuntu 16.04 Update (Seems OK now)

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi Fred/all,

Apologies for the delay, the current stable branch appears to be usable 
with Ubuntu 16.04 provided you manually tweak MySQL.  There is still 
oddness with QT fonts but that is most likely an Ubuntu and not a 
Rivendell problem.


Since I last tried, DB upgrades  from 2.10.3 seem to work fine (I have 
about 10,000 carts and its a system that has been running since 2012 in 
one form or another).  We don't use 16.04 Riv in production here so 
anyone thinking of using it be wary of potential for oddness but the 
normal stuff all seems fine.


One thing I have found, adding a host to the DB produces a truncated error:

invalid SQL or failed DB connection[Data truncated for column 
'INPUT_TYPE' at row 1 QMYSQL3: Unable to execute query]:


  insert into RDLIBRARY set
INPUT_CARD=0,INPUT_PORT=0,INPUT_TYPE=0 ... STATION="ukriv005"

The record is added anyway so it is not a big issue but it boils down to 
INPUT_TYPE being an ENUM (A, D).  This might just be stable branch churn 
I'm not sure.


Please note, we don't use rdcatch, rdfeed or VTs here so I'm not really 
sure if any of that is broken (it seems OK but I've not clicked every 
option to try them out).


If you are planning a release soon, I'd say these changes are a good 
place to start with Ubuntu, there is nothing obviously wrong that I can 
find which is an improvement from barely working.

Wayne

Re: [RDD] New Rivendell Appliance Setup

[Wayne Merricks]

t 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.

 I could have set the CART as a variable; this is the quick and 
dirty.


 The script carts and plays each item 3 times over 70 minutes.

 The log gets emailed to me.
 I had to use sed to get rid of the 'r' in the lines that are
generated by the UDP RLM so the data comes as a message not as an
attachment.
 I decided to run nc as needed. One less permanent process. Accurate
reporting when you have three up at any time.

 It runs every 10 minutes. When there is a bulletin the script gives
each instance a unique ID so it is possible to have several info
bulletins running simultaneously. ' Weather events as they happen'
play in a FIFO series of snippets just often enough.
 In this area we get 'weather bombs' about once every 18 months. Some
are supposed to be once in 20 and once in 50 year events.
 When you get 200mm of rain in a few hours on the top of a steep 
sided

mountain range it's got two ways to flow and both of them are down.
 The flat area at the bottom on both sides of a 50km ridge is between
500m and 2km from the ocean. When the rain hits the [king] high tide
the rivers back up and everything floods. First storm in a while it
takes time. The second one while everything is still wet is the
jackpot.
 We're in between a significant one and a follow up one right now!
 It's never a question of if it's going to happen it's more where.
 People who come on holidays and weekends, still insist on trying to
drive everywhere, ford flooded rivers, complain when the power goes
out, and wonder why it takes so log to get trucks and excavators past
all sorts of blockages to clear something outside their place.
 The locals have an unkind name for such people.
 I have had the playout script running for a while. Now I can produce
a log of actual broadcast times. This along with archive copies of 
all

announcements helps local Civil Defence demonstrate that they are
doing their best. Our CD media liason is an ex radio guy and when 
it's

really turning pear shaped delivers audio bulletins every 15 minutes.

 Thanks again Wayne, and RD, keeping radio always on, always local.

Re: [RDD] Confirming a cart has been played to an external log

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

I used the UDP rlm to do this in house as I found the icecast rlm to 
sometimes do strange things in our weird set up.  I have the following 
udp conf (for rlm):


[Udp1]
IpAddress=127.0.0.1
UdpPort=5860
FormatString=CART=%n\nTITLE=%t\nARTIST=%a\nALBUM=%l\nMS=%h\n
Encoding=0
ProcessNullUpdates=1
MasterLog=Onair
Aux1Log=No
Aux2Log=No

Obviously remove the bits you don't need, I assume you could literally 
stick with a cart number as:


FormatString=%n\n

That way you're just dealing with cart numbers and nothing else each 
time.


Then I have a reader script that just does this:

CARTNUM=123456

while true; do
  read RAWDATA

  if [[ $RAWDATA == $CARTNUM ]]; then

#This is the cart you wanted do something

  fi

done

In order to start the listening port I use nc and another script (via 
screen):


screen -d -m -S updreader bash -c "nc -l -u -p 5860 | 
/path/to/reader/script.sh"


Hope that makes sense,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Importing Issue with wrong Audio Length

[Wayne Merricks]

You can use bash as a "dropbox" that copies to the real Rivendell 
dropbox directory afterwards


#!/bin/bash

#Path to Rivendell dropbox (Change this to whatever)
#Keep the trailing /
RIVENDELL=/home/rivendell/dropbox/

#Would be a good idea to run this in screen so that you can monitor it
#e.g.
# screen -d -m -S mp3fixer /path/to/this/script.sh
# monitor with screen -r mp3fixer
# screen runs in the background so add it as a startup script and 
forget

# about it

#Variable to set as running forever
RUNNING=1

#Loop forever
while [ $RUNNING -eq 1 ]; do

  #Find the mp3s
  for file in $(find -name "*.mp3"); do

#We have mp3s so do something with them
echo Found $file
mp3val "$file" -f

#Move it to Rivendell dropbox
mv "$file" $RIVENDELL

  done

  #Wait for 30 seconds before checking again
  sleep 30

done


Please note I'm writing this from google and direct to email so please 
check it or let me know if something doesn't work properly.

Hello,

I am trying to implement a Rivendell system in my organization.

I work for a intercontinental radio association. In that case we 
share

and broadcast programs from a lot of different radios and we do not
control all the prodution processes.

I came to my point. A radio send us a daily program but the metadata
seems corrupt. It shows a length of 1 hour but the real audio length
is 15 min.

I import it with a rivendell dropbox, and when rivendell create a 
log,

it mess up the playlist with the faulty lenght (creating time with
nothing sheldue)

Passing the audio track in a tag editor fix the issue, for example:

_$ mp3val audio.mp3 -f_ 

I would like to keep the automated function of the dropbox: Drag the
file and no more to do to import and create the log

Is there a possibility to add this function easily to the dropbox
script used by rivendell.

Thanks

Re: [RDD] ubuntu server 16.04 LTS mysql 5.7

[Wayne Merricks]

No it still breaks, the fix is to apt remove MySQL server.  Finish the 
upgrade (dpkg -a) then delete any reference to my.cnf or mysqld.cnf in 
/etc/mysql and /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/


Once you've done that reinstall mysql server.  Your database data will 
not be deleted.


If you leave any references to my.cnf it will fail to install so make 
sure you move them all wherever you need them.


Also don't use MySQL 5.7 with Rivendell.  There are some patches in the 
stable branch to fix the problems, hopefully they will make the next 
Rivendell release but I haven't had time to double check/test everything 
to give Fred the Ubuntu OK.


Regards,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Autostarting Rdairplay on bootup

[Wayne Merricks]

OK, we probably need to go back a few steps.

If you have the Rivendell init script working, the daemons should be 
loading fine.


After a reboot (without any startrivendell.sh or systemd stuff), is caed 
running?


ps -C caed

If not run caed manually and take note of the error it gives you. There 
are usually two things that stop it running:


/var/run/rivendell doesn't exist or you haven't run rdadmin yet.

If caed isn't running by itself on reboot then your init script isn't 
working for whatever reason.

Re: [RDD] Mp4/aac

[Wayne Merricks]

I don't know about the CentOS packages but from a source install if you 
have libmp4v2 and libfaad (Debian names, they are probably called 
something else in CentOS) you then have to run ./configure to pick up 
the changes followed by a make and make install.  This has been the case 
since at least 2.13.0 (maybe earlier).


I would assume the packages were built with mp4 support but if they 
weren't it won't work at all without a recompile.

If you're stuck, Debian/Ubuntu and others are a quick install with the

Obviously configuring and mounting NFS shares can take a bit longer.  If 
you're going Ubuntu start with Ubuntu Server and stick to xfce or lxde.

 I've said time and time again, that I don't generally apply any
updates
 without a good reason to do so. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
 This applies especially to the revenue stream.
 We didn't notice it, either, but we weren't looking for it.

I do have one exception, I use Mattermost for show message aggregation 
(Email, Phones, Facebook and Twitter), it actually requires MySQL 5.6 or 
5.7 for some stupid reason so that was my first foray into lets upgrade 
14.04 oh crap everything broke (seriously everything, apache, mysql and 
php all failed and thats all I had on this internal web server/dev 
machine).  It was fairly trivial to fix but it certainly wasn't 
something I expected to die.


In the past newer kernels for hardware support on client machines are 
usually the only other reason I've used Ubuntu.


Mattermost is here if you want to check it out: 
http://www.mattermost.org.  It is meant to be some sort of internal work 
chat thing instead of using emails but I found it more useful as a radio 
presenter aggregation screen.


I installed an XMPP (Phones) and Email plugin.  Then wrote my own one 
for Facebook, it has really helped save us from death by dozens of 
screens (Rivendell, Email, Facebook/Social, Phones, Video Mixing + 
Autocue and random web site stuff for show purposes can eat through 5+ 
screens very easily).

Re: [RDD] Tryphon Debian Repository

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi again,

I'll try to sit down and build from scratch to double check everything 
over the next couple of days and report back on any weirdness.

Hi,

I've not used Riv in anger to double check everything.  Logs, log

Obviously there is no guarantee I caught every code reference that 
might need changes but I would say the patches so far have turned 
Rivendell from encountering bugs in general use (can't make/alter 
logs, can't quit airplay etc) to seems fine for the normal stuff.


I also haven't tested on older versions of MySQL or MariaDB but I 
don't see how the code changes would impact those (as you know it was 
mostly wrapping NULL in the SQL statements).

Re: [RDD] Synchronizing carts and logs

[Wayne Merricks]

I use syncthing to handle the physical file transfers but thats the 
easy bit.  Its a judgement call how you want to update the DB after 
that.  You could set up slave replication in MySQL but then if you slave 
client B to A and you write to B it all breaks.


Obviously CART/CUT info changes all the time (number of plays, last 
played etc), you've also got either the _STACK or _SRT table used in the 
play out reports, potential changes on the sound panels in airplay etc 
etc.


If you could list out what you need replicating between the two, which 
bits should always be the most current version on the master and which 
bits your happy to leave as whatever is the newest time stamp I'm sure 
you could do some MySQL bash/perl scripting magic to get it sorted but 
thats the best I can come up with.


To be honest I kept it simple, I just overwrite the remote clients 
every night with the home server database.  I put in an exception for 
the sound panels, the remote presenters use panels 11 - 20 and home is 1 
- 10.  That way I can do a dump of the panels table and re-insert after 
the mysql import every night.


You do lose any remote files that were imported by drop box stuff 
though.

I had a discussion with a Rivendell user in western New Hampshire
this morning -- not one of my clients -- who said he wished Rivendell
had the ability to transfer files with metadata seamlessly from one

I mentioned that I wrote a couple of Perl scripts to do this
(actually, one script handles files, while the other handles logs). I
use the METADATA_DATETIME field in the CART table and the
MODIFIED_DATETIME field in LOGS to determine which copy of a record 
is

more recent, and synchronize accordingly. The only hitch is that it
isn't possible to delete a log or cart, since the time stamp for a
record is deleted with the record. If we need to delete something, we
must delete it manually from both machines simultaneously. While
that's not a problem with just two servers, it might be a challenge
were we synchronizing a dozen of them.

What concerns me is upgrading to new versions of Rivendell and the
need to go through both scripts to see if any changes have been made
to the CART, CUTS, LOGS, or *_LOG tables that might break the 
scripts.


If a future database schema omits, say, METADATA_DATETIME, one or
both scripts might break irreparably.

Is there a better way to solve the synchronization problem (say,
through the Web interface)?

Doing a database backup/restore once a day and rsync'ing /var/snd, as
some have suggested, is impractical.

I am curious how other RD users have approached this problem.

If this doesn't happen, the rivendell conf file can be loaded and when

rdxport.cgi and reports a status code of 200 (essentially a silent

Re: [RDD] Australia

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

I hear this phrase quite often and I hope I can get my point across 
without stepping on anyone's toes or causing offence (it is certainly 
not intended and I apologise in advance).


The main benefit to us as a radio station in the UK is not that 
Rivendell is "just as great as a commercial software".  In many ways 
Rivendell is above and beyond what we used to use.  Being open source 
and with the RML plugins you get with Riv, we can make it do anything we 
want and talk to any system we can dream up.  It also uses standard 
database and file storage not some weird big blob of file that magically 
stores it all (and then breaks shortening your life by at least 10 years 
over the course of two weeks).


We have it plugged into our website, it is on internal serial 
connections/GPIO lines and I'm currently working on a way of getting 
now/next with appropriate youtube links into Facebook potentially for 
the Facebook live stuff.  I'm also trying to get all of that working 
with mattermost so I can aggregate the show comms rather than having 
emails in this window, facebook here, phone stuff here, internal here 
etc etc.


With the commercial offerings you just can't do this kind of thing.  
You get your option in the preferences menu and if it is not the option 
you want, tough.  You might be able to email the developers and wait to 
buy the upgrade but that's the best case scenario.  Even better, you 
won't wake up tomorrow to find that somebody decided to remove all the 
stuff you use in Rivendell because it has to be in the app store and 
used on tablets or Windows 10 only.


Even if Fred and the team did go crazy one day, you could just fork the 
code on github and continue to use Rivendell the way you want to use it, 
not the way a company says you have to use it.


It is a bit of a culture shock to go Linux if you've never messed with 
it before but Paravel has tech support (and systems) you can use if you 
need some extra help.


Anyway ramble mode off, enjoy what's left of your weekends or if you're 
unlucky, Friday probably isn't too far away.

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Centos 6 ALSA Updates

[Wayne Merricks]

Just as an FYI to any Ubuntu server users, I had to go through the pain 
of updating a web server to Ubuntu 16.04.  16.04 really should not be 
used in production unless you're willing to work around breakages during 
the upgrade.


I've had minor issues in the past with obscure bits but MySQL, PHP and 
Apache all breaking/not installing properly on the update is something 
obvious I think should have been fixed before release. Hopefully it will 
change with the first point release as previously I've updated various 
machines as far back as 10.04 over the years without issue so this break 
was completely unexpected.

Re: [RDD] autoload applications

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

I use the Ubuntu start up applications to load QJackCtl.

Then I use the jack pre/post scripts to do the rest.

Jack Post Start:

#!/bin/bash

#Start Rivendell in the background
/usr/bin/rdairplay &

#Wait 10 seconds for airplay to load
sleep 10

#Start Playback
~/scripts/startLog.sh &

Start Log is some time calculations so that the log starts and plays at 
the right point.


You can either use jack_connect in scripts or set up a patch bay to 
make sure everything is hooked up correctly.

Re: [RDD] Desperately need help building clocks for Live Remote (outside broadcast)

[Wayne Merricks]

The skipping thing might be related to timed events.  As noted in the 
other reply there are many ways to do it.  I use the AUX log.


Normally I do this:

AUX
59:55 --> Macro Fade MAIN log down over 5 seconds and stop

MAIN
00:00 --> Hard Timed Start (Stop transition if not yet time)

But for midnight I handle it differently:

MAIN
59:50 --> Make Next on the LOG CHAIN event (I use a marker/empty event 
as the MN target)


AUX

59:55 --> Fade Down MAIN log and Play Next

MAIN - NEW LOG
00:00 --> This is not a timed event, otherwise you can get log glitches 
due to machine timings (not fun when you run out of log at silly am).


The important bits are the make next and play next for the log chain 
followed by no timed event for the start of the new log (midnight).

* Created an event in RDLogManager with a pre-import cart for REMOTE
OFF.
* Built 3 generic (non-music) clocks as follows:
* Live remote first hour: Produced :20 intro for the remote, then
REMOTE ON from :20 to 59:59
* During live remote: between the first and last hour of the remote
that does nothing (except keep RDAirPlay on time and load the log at
midnight) 
	* Live remote last hour: does nothing for the first 59:40, then 
plays

a TOH ID, then REMOTE OFF. It should automatically advance to the 2AM
hour of local programming. 
* Scheduled clocks in the grid.

9PM went off without a hitch. Intro played and REMOTE ON routed
capture of sound card to RDAirPlay. All programming  for the 5 hour
duration was sent via OpenOB back to the studio and it sounded
AMAZING!!! But things quickly devolved and the end was very sloppy.

Steps 1-6 work. But steps 7-9 seem to get skipped over and fail
miserably. Meaning, the log doesnt load at Midnight and RDAirPlay
skips through the commands and plays the 1:59 am TOH at midnight.

HOURS 2, 3, AND 4 (10PM, 11PM AND 12MN)

* Timed event with NO AUDIO for 59:59. 

* Do nothing, but keep time for RDAirPlay and load log at midnight.
* Maybe 11PM needs a dedicated clock for log load?

LAST HOUR OF REMOTE (1 AM)

It’s a function of the database schema.  If the DB engine knows that 
specific fields can *never* be NULL, it allows for certain 
optimizations that can improve the speed of the query.  The problem 
right now is that MariaDB and the latest versions of MySQL have 
significantly different interpretations of what NULL actually means in 
date/time fields.  For the gory details, see:


https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/issues/121


I suppose it's a good thing that the latest version of CentOS seems 
to come with MariaDB instead of MySQL.


Actually, it’s a major PITR.  I’d have been far happier if RHEL had 
stuck with stock MySQL.  That way, we could just fix this whole thing 
and move on.  As it is, we now have to test against *two* different 
RDBMSes.  I don’t understand the rationale for the whole MariaDB thing 
anyway.  “We don’t like Larry Ellison” is not a valid reason for 
forking one of the central pieces of FOSS infrastructure.

Re: [RDD] Ubuntu 16.04 - and at the end the font...

[Wayne Merricks]

The problem is not what value but the way it handles NULL values when 
the column is set to NOT NULL.


In older versions, NULL or no value set on a date or time or datetime 
just becomes -00-00 00:00:00 (or a variation).  In 5.7 it errors 
saying "this can't be NULL" and just stops.


I've just updated the github issue (121).  Thankfully the only place 
I've found (after a lot of searching) that breaks are the *_LOG and LOGS 
tables (there are some others but the code that deals with them 
explicitly sets date/time/datetime values).


The sticking point is I'm not sure how Riv decides what happens with 
LOG start/stop dates that are in the past (it obviously was fine with 
-00-00).  More importantly I don't yet know how it purges logs 
(again because -00-00 doesn't seem to get purged).  Unfortunately, 
MySQL v5.7 doesn't let you set a default date as -00-00 (it says 
invalid date).


So yeah I'm carefully trying to make changes without breaking stuff.

If you can avoid upgrading to MySQL v5.7 you should be fine.

There is a very big list of sql to be checked across about 20 different

Hi both,

Noted you tip, Lorne. I'll try in the near future.
In the meantime, I did an experience:
Installed Trusty in another partition and installled Rivendell 2.10.3 using
the Tryphon packages. Everything works fine, but the system crashes when I
play RdAirplay. It's a hardware issue and I knew it before on Elementary
Freya. I have no wifi and the Nvidia 960M doesn't like older kernels. Ok,
not a surprise.
Then, I forced an upgrade to Xenial (not a freash install). Got a lot of
issues, mainly while updating mysql.
The hardware issues are gone, Nvidia works fine, Rivendell plays with no
problems RdAirplay, but when it comes to modify logs, it lets you do
anything, you save and then you realize that actually nothing has been
saved. You can't also add logs. Every new name you type, it says "Log
already exists!".
The same issue I described before.
No doubt: it's a mysql problem. I may try to start from scratch and avoid
the mysql update to see what happens.

Re: [RDD] Ubuntu 16.04 - and at the end the font...

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

There are quite a few different database issues with Rivendell where 
older versions of MySQL implied NULL values or converted NULL dates to 
-00-00 00:00:00 but with MySQL v5.7 you can't do that any more (at 
best -00-00 gives you an invalid date error).


I assumed it was only when creating a new database but it makes sense 
all logs have the same problem.  I will have to go through the code for 
logs because just doing a quick test I have issues with a few fields in 
LOGS and the blah_LOG table you create if you make a new "blah" log.


Looking at the structure of the tables, this might also give errors when 
dealing with DATE and DATETIME fields all across the Rivendell database 
so quite a lot to track down I guess.


More things for the github issues page either way.

I also can't figure out why qtconfig doesn't seem to change the look and 
feel of Rivendell at all but thats a problem for another day.

Don't worry, Wayne. I decided to wait for more stability on this subject.
I've just discovered that I cannot add logs. For every one I try to add it
says "Log Already Exists!".
I'll keep on using v2.10.3 on other machine.

Thanks for everything.

Tried the options for older distros with no success. Qtconfig has no polymer

work and doesn't save changes.

Any ideas to improve the look? I don't mind to try everything, since I'm

Re: [RDD] I am starting to hate USB

[Wayne Merricks]

How do you get on if you use something like screen to talk to the 
serial connection directly?


The broadcast tools switchers have very simple serial commands you can 
use so Riv is not strictly necessary.


I use this:

http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Switchers#Unsupported_Switchers

Then I have macros that instead of doing ST 0 1 2, I just run my script 
instead (RN 1 2).  If you're already using a script to remap the USB 
then using screen like this might work:


screen -fn -L -d -m -S switcher /dev/ttyUSB0 9600 (<- connect to the 
port do this after you remap)

screen -S switcher -X stuff *0012  (<- send input 01 to output 2)

WCRI has a Rivendell machine that uses a USB-to-serial converter to
talk to a Broadcast Tools audio switcher. The machine occasionally
"forgets" the USB-to-serial converter (which is normally 
/dev/ttyUSB0)

and then wakes up and remaps it as /dev/ttyUSB1.

Now, I have a udev rule in place that automatically creates a symlink
o whatever device the converter gets mapped as... but if it gets
remapped while rdairplay is running, rdairplay can't talk to the
switcher until I stop and restart the Rivendell service.

On Tuesday, I discovered that I could get around the problem by
stopping and restarting the ripcd daemon, so I set up a cron job to
detect the remapping of the USB-to-serial converter and autoatically
stop and restart ripcd.

That turned out to be a mistake; it seems to have caused rdairplay to
lose the ability to chain to the next day's log. Two days in a row 
the

station has gone silent at midnight, and we've had to load the log
manually.

The only solution I can think of is to use a machine with an actual
serial port.

Have any of y'all enocuntered this issue? If so, how did you deal 
with it?

Re: [RDD] Troubles with fonts and key to close RDAirPlay

[Wayne Merricks]

Jack support is installed.  You will have to install qjackctl and stop 
the daemons running as root to actually use it though.


See the JACK sections of this page:

http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Debian_6_Install_Rivendell_2.1.1_from_Source

You can skip XFCE just run the scripts manually for your user e.g. if 
your user is manuel:


sudo ./003.install_qt.sh manuel
sudo ./004.install_rivendell.sh manuel

You will also have issues with Pulse Audio, again the wiki for Debian 6 
describes how to fix that.

Re: [RDD] Problem ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi David,

Thanks for the systemd links, it helped me sort out the last little bits 
I had going wrong.


I've uploaded all the scripts to github and updated the wiki entry.

Wiki here: http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/UbuntuXenial
Github here: https://github.com/waynemerricks/rivendellubuntuxenial

I recommend installing Ubuntu 16.04 server rather than the desktop 
flavours.  Once you've got that installed, download the script package 
and unzip to your home dir so that it is ~/install, then just run sudo 
./001.install.sh my_riv_user_name


About 20minutes later you'll have QT3, Rivendell 2.13.0 and a minimal XFCE

Remember to run sudo rdalsconfig and rdadmin (reboot if you get an 
unable to start daemons error).


Regards,

Wayne

[RDD] Riv 2.13.0 web components and create new db issues

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi all,

I've posted 3 issues/bugs to github.

* When creating a new database there is a bug with the insert into logs 
SQL statement that affects all versions.  It is missing a few extra 
NOW() values.

@See https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/issues/121
Patch here: http://thevoiceasia.com/rivendell/createdb.cpp.patch

* Rivendell can't create MySQL users on MySQL version 5.7+.  This means 
it fails when it tries to create the rduser database user and rdadmin 
quits with an "unable to access new database" error.  This is because 
the MySQL users table has changed and no longer has a password field

@See https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/issues/123
Patch here: http://thevoiceasia.com/rivendell/opendb.cpp.patch

I also changed the permissions into a grant statement, this is not 
strictly necessary.


* The rd-bin.conf file is incompatible with Apache v 2.4+.  Apache has 
moved from Order and Allow From to Require granted.  I don't know 
whether this is an easy patch because older versions of Apache probably 
don't support the require granted thing.

@see https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/issues/124
Patch here: http://thevoiceasia.com/rivendell/rd-bin.conf.patch

If anyone is interested, the Ubuntu 16.04 quest is slowly progressing 
now that these 3 are out of the way.

Re: [RDD] Problem ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

I finally had some free time to try this.  Installing on Ubuntu 16.04 is 
a bit more effort than normal because you can't use the Tryphon repos 
which means you have to install QT3 from source yourself because Ubuntu 
dropped QT3 in either 14.04 or earlier.


The install goes something like this:

1) Install all the dependencies of QT3 and Rivendell from source
2) Download the archive QT3 version

5) Add QTDIR and others to your bash paths
6) Download Rivendell 2.13.0
7) Compile and install that (remember to make a script to create 
/var/run/rivendell, systemd init?)

8) Change MySQL to use MyISAM by default
9) Copy over and edit rd.conf to /etc
10) Copy over and edit rd-bin.conf to /etc/apache2/sites-available 
(remove allow from and use require granted)
11) Fix an SQL error in rdadmin/createdb.cpp and recompile, make install 
again
12) Figure out why importing audio instantly imports but doesn't 
actually do anything (0 audio in cart).


Things I've learnt in the past few hours:

1) Google is still your friend
2) apt-file search is my new favourite tool
3) checkinstall is an easy way to get deb files of QT3 and Rivendell so 
you don't have to compile on other machines


I have the debs for AMD64 based systems and a big apt install list of 
dependencies.


Once you get QT3 installed you can follow the normal install 
instructions for Rivendell from source that haven't changed since Debian 
6 with the exception of the Apache require granted thing and MySQL 
MyISAM (default_storage_engine)


If anyone needs any more info please get in touch,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] Serial Out vs GPIO

Hi,

I have a BT ACS 8.2.  I initially tried to set up the switcher in 
Rivendell but something about Ubuntu didn't like to reliably do it (the

In the end I settled on using RN to call a script that used screen's 
stuff command to do the same thing.


Its been running fine for about 6months. I wrote it all up here:

I have a computer deployed on Cape Cod that has a Stellar Labs

Rivendell machine at the transmitter site, and often someoen will come 
into the studio, start RDAirplay, and it won't play because Rivendell 
no longer sees the interface. Stopping and restarting the Rivendell 
daemons fixes the problem.


I have thought of running RDAirplay from a script that stops/restarts 
the daemons before launching the program, but that requires root 
privileges, and I don't want them running anything as root.


I am thinking of taking the machine out of service and substituting 
something with a non-USB audio interface. Oddly, an identical machine 
off Cape doesn't have the problem (why do weird, inexplicable problems 
always happen on Cape Cod?).



In your case, I'm wondering if you simply unplug the USB connector, wait
a minute, and plug it back in, does that work ?


If the device gets its power from the USB connector, then yes, that 
usually works.


However, one machine I'm saddled with has a Focusrite Scarlett 6x2 
audio interface that is powered externally. It won't be recognized by 
the OS until it is power-cycled. Booting the computer or 
unplugging/replugging the USB connector will not make the interface 
visible, only unplugging and replugging the interface's AC power cord.

Re: [RDD] USB audio Card, Configuration Issue

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

I had an issue with a USB Roland DUO Capture EX.  For some reason I 
don't really understand, it only works in 24bit mode.  Rivendell tries 
32bit and 16bit only.


The only way I could get it to work in the end was to use JACK with the 
sound card and use Riv via JACK.

Re: [RDD] Rivendell on a Pi 3

[Wayne Merricks]

When you do a manual source install, you have to compile GPIO separately 
(it doesn't work on 3.x kernels).  HPI is detected at the configure 
stage and also won't install (you're on a Pi).


I'm guessing that by using the tryphon src it is pulling in all of that 
without giving you an option.  Download the source directly and follow 
the same steps:


wget http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/rivendell-2.12.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf rivendell-2.12.0.tar.gz

cd rivendell-2.12.0

./configure --libexecdir=/var/www/rd-bin
make
sudo make install

That is pretty much it other than sorting out any init scripts to cope 
with /var/run/rivendell.

Thanks for the feedback Wayne.

I did:

apt-get source rivendell

from the tryphon repos.

From my first post one this subject:

"Tried building the deb the debian way but Had issues with the fact 
that I could not get the gpio stuff to compile on this kernel and that 
I could not get the audioscience stuff to be seen."


I probably should have solved that and proceeded in the normal debian way.

What I did was proceed with a more normal;
./autogen.sh
./configure --libexecdir=/var/www/rd-bin
make
make
sudo make install

route and then try fix issues  from there.

If you know off the top of your head, how would you tell the deb 
section to leave out the gpio and sudioscience bits?

Wayne

Just a little FYI for anyone interested.

I have spend a good part of the day getting rivendell sort of running 
on a new Raspberry Pi 3.


It has been a log time since I compiled anything significant or made 
and packages, etc. In light of this, I am sure I did some foolish 
things getting this going today. (I can't get rdxport.cgi to run for 
instance, it insists on downloading. I can't see the wavform in 
rdlibrary either.


So, the gist of what I think I did in the end is add Tryphon's src 
line for debian Jessie. (That is the raspbian flavour that came with 
this Pi kit.) Tried building the deb the debian way but Had issues 
with the fact that I could not get the gpio stuff to compile on this 
kernel and that I could not get the audioscience stuff to be seen. I 
could not remember what to do on the debian side to tell it that those 
should  be left off of the requirements. So I sort of did the manual 
.configure, make, sudo make install thing.


Current status is that rdairplay is running and playing a sample log 
of test tones and then looping.


Top shows: load average: 0.85, 0.84, 0.90

at this moment.

df -h
Filesystem  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root58G  5.7G   49G  11% /

We hope this is enough for a small library...

We shall see how the box behaves.

If anyone would like to chat about this, I am in #rivendell on IRC as 
teak these days.


all the best,

Re: [RDD] unable to download peak data, error was: "internal error"

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

This is a common problem when the web components don't install 
properly.  Can you navigate to:


http://localhost/rd-bin/addcart.html

If you get a 404 you need to sort your Apache riv config out.

Hello Jorge,

My guess is that you might have not run ./configure with the
--libexecdir option.
You should use this option to point at where the web API files
are...
for me, it's /var/www/rd-bin, but you might want to look
exactly where
it is now on your current installation.

Re: [RDD] Gpio compiling.

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

At the moment you need to be on Debian 6 or any other distro with Linux 
Kernel 2.6 or below.  The more recent (2+ years) 3.x kernels don't work.


You can edit the source to make it work however a lot of the system 
calls are deprecated and different.  I managed to do some editing quite 
a while back and got it compiled and installed but it didn't actually 
work/couldn't read ins/outs for the card.


Please note the GPIO drivers are only for a couple of models of the 
Measurement computing PCI DIO24 cards.


You can do GPIO reads in lots of different ways.  My current favourite 
for a shoe string budget is a  Raspberry pi with wiring pi, firing 
rmlsend with the required macros to Rivendell.


Regards,

Wayne

Re: [RDD] reorder metadata on import?

[Wayne Merricks]

Assuming there isn't a magic string to get rdimport to do the work for 
you, Rivendell is just MySQL behind the scenes so providing you have the 
information in a usable format you could update manually.


You are interested in 3 fields from the CUTS table:
* CUT_NAME = Cart Number + _cut number e.g. cart 1234 cut 3 = 
001234_003

* DESCRIPTION = Cut Title
* ORIGIN_DATETIME = Date the CUT was imported

So you'd end up with SQL like this:

update CUTS set DESCRIPTION = 'Episode title: Unicorns myth or just a 
weird rhino', ORIGIN_DATETIME = '2012-06-27 00:00:00' where CUT_NAME = 
'001234_003';


You could get fancy and loop this with bash reading from a file or a 
little PHP backed web page that you can copy/paste data into.


Back in 2012, I wrote a Java program that read Dalet XML files and via 
rdimport automated the entire import process.  It then used the info in 
the XML to update the database.  Saved a ton of time but obviously this 
is more work than bash scripts and the like.

Is there any reasonable way to write the original cart title into the

The problem is that when I put all episodes of a given program into
one cart, we loose the specific episode title and date. I have tried
various strings in rdimport but havent found a way to do it.

Re: [RDD] Stop and hold

[Wayne Merricks]

Hi,

Not really how Riv macros work however you can work around it.

* Macro executes and stops for whatever reason
* Have that GPI closure execute your resume macro (PN or something).

Now assuming its not that simple because that GPI closure might happen 
for lots of reasons at different points in the day.


* Macro executes as normal and uses RN to create a temporary file (e.g. 
RN touch /tmp/specialMacroHappened!)
* When GPI closure happens make it call a script to check for the 
temporary file as well as whatever it does normally (e.g. RN 
~/scripts/checkForSpecialThing.sh)


The shell script could just be:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -f /tmp/specialMacroHappened ]; then

  #Use rmlsend to fire a Riv macro to play next
  rmlsend PN 1!

  #remove the temporary file for next time
  rm /tmp/specialMacroHappened

fi

Be aware that if you have a system crash your temporary file might 
still be there.  How you choose to deal with that is up to you.


Hope this makes sense,

Wayne
