Re: [campsite-support] Campsite 2.7 + Campcaster for podcasts?
  • 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

    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

  • Thanks guys, I think I have decided to go ahead with campcaster, provided my
    sys-admin okay's it. The hook-in with campsite is very appealing! I guess I
    will head on over to the campcaster list and figure out how to install!
    Thanks,
    Jim
