![]() ![]() We hope everything has been working as it should. ![]() It’s nice to hear from everyone around the world who has tested or are using our images. Thank you to all those who have contacted us over the past few months. ![]() The only difference being is that we use a central database and audio storage server and our Raspberry Pis act as playout and workstations. We use very similar images to these at Edge Radio. We have packaged up two Raspberry Pi Rivendell images, which will allow you to test and tinker with a fully functioning standalone system. But we think other stations can benefit from our hard work. Of course we have the people and the enterprise Linux knowledge to support this adventure. For the outlay of about $350 for hardware, Edge Radio transitioned it’s entire automation tool-chain to Rivendell, saving the station close to $10,000 a year. In a random experiment we managed to get the open source Rivendell Automation Suite working extremely well on a Raspberry Pi. The conclusion was unexpected to say the least. We embarked on a quest to find a replacement that took close to two years. Not to mention it was stuck on Windows XP, which has long been abandoned by Microsoft. It’s maker unfortunately seldom updated the product and began to provide less and less support. For many years Edge Radio used a very slick but expensive commercial automation system for both playout, digital library, trafficking and scheduling. ![]()
