[campcaster-support] Scheduler isn't playing, gstreamer doesn't open

    As stated in an earlier post, I'm scrambling to get Campcaster
    configured to get an LPFM station on the air tomorrow.

    Since I have been unable to get my Soundblaster sound card to output
    sound, I have decided to fall back and use the onboard Intel sound
    device "hw:0,0".

    This device works for other apps, and it works in Campcaster when I
    click the Test buttons in the Options/Sound tab. (I now have both the
    Cue and Live Mode devices set to the default device hw:0,0.).

    But I can't get Scheduler to output any sound. Thus there is no sound to
    feed to the transmitter.

    I have edited /opt/campcaster/etc/campcaster-scheduler.xml to use this
    device (or so I think):





    One possible clue is this: When I try to stop the scheduler, I get the
    following error message:

    XML-RPC method 'stopCurrentlyPlaying' returned error message:
    [faultCode:5010,faultString:GstreamerPlayer not opened yet]

    So I need to get Scheduler to get gstreamer to start.

    It's not clear just what gstreamer is. I don't find a GSstreamer,
    gstreamer, GstreamerPlayer, or gstreamerPlayer in the path, but then I
    get the impression that it isn't a program in the first place.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    - John

    Progress report:

    I can now get Scheduler to produce sound, but only when I start it up
    with campcaster-scheduler.sh in /opt/campcaster/bin instead of
    /etc/init.d/campcaster-scheduler.

    Does anyone know why there are two startup scripts and what the
    difference is supposed to be?

    Thanks,

    - John
