19:00-21:00 MS and MP investigating CPU issues on Dolby.
21:00-21:10 sporadic bits of dead air on AM & online (some presenter error, some potentially Dante related)
21:17:00 MG reports “big issue” in Slack
21:18:35 Dante Controller reports “Device 001DC10208C1 (device name not known) is now a grandmaster” - the RedNet 3 has dropped off
21:18:36 MP screams “DANTE!”
21:19-21:20 MP turns the RedNet 3 off and on again
21:20 Dante starts flapping clock, but seemingly stabilises
21:28 The AM feed becomes noticeably sosig, slowly degrades quality
21:29-21:32 The AM goes to silence with occasional bursts of techno. At the same time, Dante Controller reports various clock switches and devices muting (which is Dante-speak for “oman i am no good with audio pls to halp”). The clock master cycles between Phil, Office, and Studio Red several times. MP says in Slack at 21:31 “[Dante] is not in a good place right now.”
Relevant log entry: 2020-03-04 21:30:53 GMT 1583357453638 Information "uryStores" "Timed out 3 times sending message 'UpdateRxChannels' to uryStores, giving up."
21:33:34 MP, MS, BA set Studio Blue to clock master. Dante sort-of stabilises except not really
21:36:21 IL reports that the clock coax between uryStores and Scarlett is hot to the touch.
Around this time (exact timing TBC) IL attempts switching out the coax, but fails when he realises that the replacement cable is a piece of shit.
21:38:25 we go to DEAD AIR, and at 21:39:14 Dearie-Me triggers.
Around 21:37-39 MP uses RedNet Control to switch the RedNet 3’s clock input to ADAT, believing this will help things, and at 21:38:49 Dante Controller reports that uryStores is clock master. This does not make the Scarlett happy.
21:39:56 Studio Blue is switched to Clock Master, confirmed by MP in Slack at 21:40:07. Still dead air.
21:42 MP tries an audio pipeline restart (aka startAudio.sh). This does not help.
21:44 MP makes the call to reboot Dolby.
21:46:42 Dolby boots to Linux.
21:47:04 MP SSHes into Dolby and tries starting audio, failing.
21:49:41 DEAD AIR ENDS - goes to horrible sosig Flagship News (from the TX OB)
21:50:17 MP runs startAudio.sh
21:50:50 uryStores becomes clock master, at 21:51:09 Dante finishes re-synchronising
21:52:00 horrible sosig Flagship News ends and AM has off-air loop
21:54-21:56 MP realises that SelectorListener isn’t running, and runs some commands to try and start it.
21:58:59 MP declares the incident over
