Jay, I thoroughly enjoyed the stream. I followed your video and was able to get Rivendell up & running on a Synology 1621+ VM. Great job explaining the process. Setting up the VM on Synology differs slightly from Xen, but aside from that it was smooth sailing. Looking forward to exploring the program. Awesome job, thanks again!
@TVJay, thanks for the demo, show and tell. Never knew anything about this type of Radio station management software. When I worked in radio, our station had only just gotten a license to run a digital satellite service for the music (1990 time period). Like cable TV head ends, the live dj and music were in studios in Southern California, sent up to satellite, and we had a receiver and "tones" they would send down to trigger our local commercial spots. We would run a live local DJ in mornings at drive time and that was it. But now, with this, it's yet another wholesale evolution forward. Lots of functions, lots of customization allowed, and it runs on Linux! Amazing. Happy to have learned about Rivendell.
TV JAY I like the RivenDell looks I’m an oldschool FM Radio 📻 DJ since 1998 we used ENCO DAD so I love the Rotating Wheel 🛞 the one that shows the song 🎵 plz post more install videos I’m stuck between Rivendell n some other automation but that wheel 🛞 brought back great memories for me I definitely want more info about Rivendell
Just installed Rivendell on Centos 7 standalone. I am thinking I need to install the server version so other DJ's can remotely connect with the client mode to voice track. Have you messed with that? And, great video.
No, I have never attempted to setup or do voice tracking. We do run the server-client model where we have one server in the rack room and several clients, including the on-air studio and a production room.
Nice presentation, thanks. What chat program did you use for your audience and how did you bring their questions into the screen? Would you happen to know what streaming service hosting is used by commercial radio stations? I can't see them using shoutcast or icecast. If one of theirs offers a limited cost-effective plan for personal use that would be great.
I used Aaron Parecki's Google Chrome chat plugin for the viewer question. As for commercial streaming solutions, I honestly don't know as I have never looked into them. My station averages about 10 listeners, so SHOUTcast works great for us.
@TVJAY Jazler is a radio automation software developed for small to medium stations. I believe it has its origin in Europe and is very complete. I was hoping you were familiar with it so you could compare its features. I believe it is about a thousand euros or so for a license.
I like your stream, because Rivendell is a fantastic software, and i use it for home use. It's my own Spotify. (i use it since 2012, i guess...) You can load almost every audioformat in the library, and every song comes in the WAV-file. (I think you can make a HI-RES-music player) My Rivendell is installed on Ubuntu 18.04, and you can not always use the latest version. I connect Rivendell via Jack and a compressortool to my amplifier (i mean without a streamserver).

I am glad that you were able to follow along and get it working. Thank you for the nice feedback!
Super presentation. Thanks for shooting and sharing.
Your welcome. I am thinking of doing any video with the latest version.

That is great to hear. Thank you for the feedback. Would you like to see more videos on Rivendell?

Thank you! Excellent information! Will likely go for Rivendell for my future station.
Good choice!

Thanks for making this video. I want to switch from Simian to Rivendell.
We did and have never looked back. Does Rivendell have some issues? Yes, but depending on your station, they may or may not matter.
Nice presentation, thanks.

Thanks, some fun stuff to try. Have a great weekend.
What’s the price on this program Rivendell???
It is free to use. You only have to pay for support
@@TVJAY thank you
How do you bulk import files. Seems crazy rivendell does not have a import folder button
They have a Dropbox where you can set up a watch folder, and whatever you put in that folder will get automatically imported.
@@TVJAY will you be doing a video on that
@radiolanarkshire I will be doing a v4 install video soon and will make a note to include dropboxes.
@@TVJAY thanks 😊
the station at my college uses this
I hear a lot of colleges use it
What's your experience with Jazzler?
I have never heard of it. What is it?

I am glad you have used it since 2012. That shows how great the software is.
