[RDD] Voice Tracking - rdlogedit

[rivdev]

Hello,

I'm new to Rivendell and I'm having some difficulty trying to get voice 
tracking to work.  Apologies in advance for the length of this email.  
In short, I don't see generated logs in RdLogEdit - the service that I 
created doesn't show up in RdLogEdit either, so that's probably why the 
logs aren't there, but I don't know how to get the service or logs to 
show up in RdLogEdit.  Hoping for some pointers in the right direction.

I have rivendell set up in a proof of concept and have clocks set up and 
logs generating through a service that I created called "Test".  Music 
has been imported and I have a legal ID timed to the top of the hour.  
So, the hours are working as expected, music is being chosen and 
scheduled automatically, etc.

I believe, though I'm not sure, that I have the prerequisites set up for 
voice tracking.  I have a group set up for voice tracks and I have that 
group set up as the "Voicetrack Group" in the "Test" service.  The 
"Test" service has "Chain To" selected and has "Autorefresh" selected.  
I have an event called VoiceTracks setup.  Within that event I 
right-click on the "Pre-Import Carts" and select "Add Voice Track".

Within the clock, I have a 15 second placeholder for voice tracks and I 
have selected the VoiceTracks event.  I can see the placeholder in 
RDAirPlay where the voicetrack should be.

Here's where the trouble begins.  I can generate a log using 
RDLogManager.  The log generates with no exceptions.  However, that log 
does not show up in RDLogEdit and therefore, it does not appear as 
though I can record a voice track.  The "Test" service that I set up 
does not even appear in RDLogEdit, so the logs aren't there either.

I'm running v2.19.2 on CentOS7, if that's important.

Thank you for any pointers that you can provide.

Hello,

That was it.  Going into RDAdmin and granting the "User" permission to the new 
service did the trick.  Thank you.

Re: [RDD] Easiest to install .. and update later on ?

[rivdev]

Hi Peter,

I just installed CentOS7 this past weekend and, aside from the weirdness of how 
CentOS handles networking 
(it's not activated by default), it was smooth.  The URL with instructions that 
you included below discusses 
the networking activation step and those instructions are what I followed to 
install the system.

Might be worth noting that RHEL7 is the commercial version of CentOS7.  I 
believe that you'll need a license/support contract with Red Hat to run RHEL7.  
There is no license fee for CentOS7.

As to your question about the live cd, I don't know for Rivendell, but based on 
experience with Linux and 
LiveCDs, I would say that the live cd version cannot be updated.

Re: [RDD] Sound cards

[rivdev]

Hello,

I just received a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX PCIe 5.1 (Model 
SB1570) today and put it in to an older AMD Phenom/nvidia-based machine 
because the on-board sound card wasn't recognized by CentOS7.

The card was pretty much plug and play and is running now.  I saw 
somewhere in the archive for this list that someone else was using this 
card too.

Rivendell sees two available outputs, though I'm not far enough in my 
understanding of Rivendell to figure out how to use them yet.

Re: [RDD] Set it and forget it

Hello,

I'm sure those with more experience than I can provide an answer too, 
but my first thought would be to create an event with pre-imported carts 
1 through 9 and then add that to a clock that you then schedule from 
6a-9a on Mondays.  Same for Tuesday, etc.

That seems odd.  What's the output from the "date" command?  Open a

Also, is it possible that the firmware/bios time is different?

Re: [RDD] rdairplay dies, out of memory

[rivdev]

I would think it must have run out of both physical and swap memory then 
before killing processes.

I had a Rivendell studio computer stop responding entirely last week.  
Turns out someone bumped the power strip.  I corrected that but it drove 
me to set up Nagios monitoring across the entire Rivendell network, 
including servers and all studio computers.  The monitoring watches disk 
space, physical memory, swap, number of processes, and so on and sends 
an email when there's something of note.

The Nagios configuration is reasonably well documented online and 
there's nothing special that needs to be done for Rivendell unless you 
wanted to watch specific processes and have Nagios take action if a 
process goes missing.

Anyway, just a thought that might help to watch what's happening on the 
machines.

One other thought.  Apache runs as user www-data and group www-data on Debian.  
Make sure that user and group have write access to the directory (chown

Re: [RDD] RDAirplay crashes when autorefresh enabled

[rivdev]

Hello,

If the segfault through terminal can be reliably reproduced, you might run 
strace.  The strace utility will show you lots of details about files being 
opened, system calls, and so on.

This tutorial seems ok at introductory strace, which might be enough to get 
your further.  Once you have the files or library calls, that might lead you to 
what to downgrade on the system.

https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/11/strace-examples/

Hope this helps.

[RDD] Another "How Would You.." Question: Cart Rotation

[rivdev]

Hello,

I may be having a problem of not seeing the forest from the trees, so I'm 
hoping the collective experience of the list helps.

Our station has sponsors for various specialty shows who have an ad rotation 
something like:

Widget Co:  3x per show
Another Co: 1x per show
A Third Co: 2x per show
Fourth National:  1x per show  (competes with Widget co, shouldn't play same 
break)

To achieve this result, I have set up a cart rotation for each show.  In that 
cart rotation I setup cuts to play in a specific order 
reflecting the above.  I then setup an event for each cart and created clock 
hours so that the cart would run through once per show.

This seems to work but is quite cumbersome.  The same sponsor, say Widget Co, 
might sponsor 10 shows during a week, so I need to 
import the same ad 3x per cart, resulting in a lot of wasted space.  Then if 
Widget Co changes the content of their spot it will need 
to be reimported - or if they pay late we need to stop their ads for a week, 
etc.

What are other ways to achieve this result that I'm missing?

Re: [RDD] "unable to create destination file" - Debian 8 fresh install

Hello,

My first thought was to make sure there's enough disk space left.  There 
probably is, but that's the first thing I thought of.

The command df -h will show disk usage in human-readable format.

Next, I'd try to touch a file in /var/snd as the rd user:

touch /var/snd/testfile

That will attempt to create the file as the rd user in /var/snd.

[RDD] Touch Screen and/or Triggers

[rivdev]

Hi all,

First, thanks for the responses on the voice track replacement with liner when 
missing.  I didn't want to clutter the list with "thank you!" responses to 
each. 

Next up, what are people using for triggers, as in, interfacing so that 
the cart or content is started from the board for RDAirPlay or 
RDCartSlots?  Related, is there a touch screen monitor that is known to 
work or is general consensus to use a mouse?

I'm attempting to create reports of traffic played versus traffic logged 
to be played on a given day.  My thought is that should be one of the 
"Reconciliation" reports, but when I try to generate those reports the 
end result is an empty report, with just the header.  Same goes for the 
"Log" report.

When I create the report, I choose the service, the main studio host, 
and tick the checkboxes for Traffic and Traffic Log.  I have also 
ensured that the two groups have "Include this group in Traffic Reports" 
selected.

It's notable that Cut Log and Technical Playback reports both work but the only 
way I can seem 
to get anything is to have the "All" checkbox checked within the Report dialog.

Possibly related, how do I get the "OnAir" flag to show "Y" when something 
plays out through the main studio host?  I looked through the docs but may have 
missed that.

What am I doing wrong?

[RDD] Substitute Voice Track If Missing

[rivdev]

Hello,

I have a unique situation whereby we have numerous student volunteers 
who do airshifts.  Sometimes they fail to show up for their shift, 
leaving the Program Director to scramble.  

To alleviate some of the load on the PD, I'd like to figure out a way to 
substitute a liner or similar content if a voicetrack is missing.  For 
example, if we have three or four announcer breaks an hour and the jock 
doesn't show up, I'd like the automation to pop a liner in there without 
needing human intervention.

I'm new enough to Rivendell that I think there's a way to do it but I 
don't quite have the knowledge to make it happen or the vocabulary to 
adequately search for an answer either.  Maybe a macro?

Re: [RDD] REST Services

JSON offers no more security than XML and XML can be used on any of the 
platforms that you mention.  Sounds like possibly you need to learn a bit more 
about the current system.

Re: [RDD] Scheduler automation

[rivdev]

Hi Chris,

Yes, we had this scheduled to generate the log four days ahead of time, 
in order to stay well-ahead in case someone needed to be gone for a few 
days.  Our cron job ran at 21:18 local time which was (hopefully) a 
quiet time for other production activity.

Here's the cron entry.  Never encountered any issues with X Windows 
getting in the way.

18 21 * * * /usr/bin/rdlogmanager -g -s WKRP -d 3

[RDD] Paid Support

[rivdev]

Hello,

What's the status of obtaining paid support for Rivendell?  Does Paravel 
offer this or are there other companies that do?

Re: [RDD] Mysql Workbench

[rivdev]

Hello,

I don't typically use MySQL Workbench but same difference to using the MySQL 
CLI which I've used with the riv database.  I wouldn't think there's a reason 
why it couldn't access the database specifically.  Possibly try accessing the 
database from the same host using the mysql command to see if there's a more 
descriptive error.  If the CLI can access it then workbench should be able to 
as well.  But if not, then things to check are to make sure that the database 
server itself is listening on a TCP port, which is not a given depending on 
Linux distro.  Also, that the user has access from the host where workbench is 
installed - the CLI test will tell you that.

Steve
