Finally we’re happy to put out a brand new Rivendell 3 Raspbian Buster image for download. We have been noodling away behind the scenes testing. Mid 2019 saw Rivendell receive some big updates and well as the brand new Raspberry Pi 4. Releases Page: /edgeradio993fm/rivendell/releases Rivendell 3 and Raspberry Pi 4 Update If you’re looking for the most up to date information and releases, you should keep an eye on our Github page.Įdge Radio Github: /edgeradio993fm You can find all the details and to downloads by using the links below. There is also a new one command installation method, which will install Rivendell with a blank database with minimal to no configuration necessary. We are also releasing update packages and have an update repository available for Raspberry Pi (armfh) and Debian (amd64) systems, which will help and keep everything up to date more easily. It’s all about tracking the changes required to keep the software working on the Raspberry Pi (and Debian based systems) and being able to merge and generate updates more easily. We don’t intend to make our own version of Rivendell. We’ve moved almost everything to Github and forked the main Rivendell code. 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.
