Hi Jim,


You don't have to install the Campcaster Studio package if you don't need
it; all you have to do in that case is install campcaster-libs and
campcaster-station; this will leave you with the HTML UI and the
Campcaster Storage Server.

As for podcasting, one feature we've wanted for some time is the ability
to render individual files into a single, long file. It is one of the
Campcaster features that will have to wait until we move the sound engine
from Gstreamer 0.8 to Gstreamer 0.10; that work is underway now for the
Campcaster 1.3 "Dakar" release, tentatively scheduled for November.

Another suggestion on podcasting is to look at what the DarkIce streaming
program can do; one of its features is that it can provide audio
archiving, actual sound recordings of your broadcast. This may actually be
better for you because you can record the output from the mic mixer, not
just the Campcaster playout. This is especially helpful in taking slices
of a regular broadcast and automatically making MP3s from them, for
example.


Hope this helps,


douglas

podcasts?


Hi Jim,

Sorry for the late reply, we had our annual meeting in Prague and we were
very busy.

We should release 2.7.0 in about 2-3 weeks. Even so, 2.7.0-rc4 is stable
so you can use it.

What it is to gain from using Campcaster is that you'll have an audio
archive. Without campcaster you'll be able to attach audio files but you
won't have metadata, you won't be able to print it in the templates.

Regards,
Mugur

We are looking to add podcast integration into our publication. I saw that
in 2.7 that there is support for campcaster audio files. Is there anything
to gain by using campcaster for just serving up the podcast files? We are
on a server, so I am assuming that the gui for campcaster useless to us.
When does 2.7 come out officially?
Thanks,
Jim
