    Can you give me your release estimate time, I will try to rewrite all
    code to work with PHP5 within your deadline time.

    (Just maybe you could write a config ebuild function that set up basic
    livesupport tables, configs, etc.)

    from what I see now, we should be releasing on Saturday.

    but there will always be later releases Smile

  • Hi all,


    Last week I had a small presentation considering  LS 1.0 on event
    organize by "Media On Web" in Montenegro, with several radio stations
    from Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia that are interested in our project.
    ( Studio 88 Mostar, Antena M- Podgorica, City radio- Nis, Radio Uzice,
    Krusevac , Valjevo )

    I would like to inform you about some very interesting remarks and
    comments I had from those radio stations.However, these stations are
    already using some expencive, well-known softwares (granted by some
    independent institutions)  like FirePlay, Jazzler etc. They are
    complaining about their bad support  and  lack  of interest for the
    users.
    I had an impression that  they are all choosing softwares mainly by
    their design and screen appearance. They are very interested in RDS,
    and the way they can promote and finance themselves through RDS (with
    commercials and ads..).

    Comments and questions were considering audio mixing, keyboard
    shortcuts for sweepers and short ( fly ) jingles in live mode,  the
    possibillity of writing intro and outro time in metadata,
    multilanguage... Also they are interested in training courses for LS
    and would like to participate.

    They are looking forward for our future version that will have more
    features.

    On the contrary, they don't seem very interessted at all in podcasting
    and streaming (they have informations that today commercial radio
    stations are giving up more and more on streaming in contrast of radio
    stations that 'live on the edge') 

    They all welcomed our Linux version, and were very suspicious  about
    Windows and Mac versions (what's good to have open source software on
    expencive licenced Win?)


    My impression was that they all felt very interested in transferring
    into future versions of our LS

  • hi robert,

    thanks for the report. following this it would be great if you could write
    some specifications on how you would like these features to work - or
    explain what they mean in detail:

    >> considering audio mixing,
    you mean the advanced playlist editor type of mixing?

    >> keyboard shortcuts for sweepers and short ( fly ) jingles in live mode,
    yes. this we need. if you could write some *use scenario* for this it would
    be great. all the way from uploading to playing it live. how does it get
    into the database? how do you assign it to the keyboard? how does it work
    when using LS Studio?

    >> the possibillity of writing intro and outro time in metadata,
    is this also the advanced playlist editor?

    >> multilanguage...
    what aspect exactly?

    >> Also they are interested in training courses for LS and would like to
    participate.
    CAMP hasn't done much training recently. but we should probably consider
    offering some. especially as there seems to be a real interest in *being
    cared for*. but i also think we could create a good cooperation if we get
    some *early movers* to start working with LS to push the development by
    conrete feature requests. and in exchange we will customize training for
    their needs.

    as for the podcasting issue...
    >> On the contrary, they don't seem very interessted at all in podcasting
    and streaming (they have informations that today commercial radio stations
    are giving up more and more on streaming in contrast of radio stations that
    'live on the edge')

    this is true, but at the same time, podcasting is a very simple and
    standardised way for exchanging information. not for the enduser, but for
    radio networks this could be the easiest way to go: you put your recent
    programme online as an audio podcast and the other stations subscribe to
    the podcast and get your files this way. so the audience might not be the
    public but other stations.

    >They all welcomed our Linux version, and were very suspicious
  • Hi Micz ,

    Of course, these were only comments and remarks of the
    radio station people, not my personal remarks and
    wishes for the future. So, consider this as my attempt
    to present you the first feedback of the potential
    users from this region.
    I already answered them about all the issues (maybe
    more then I should Wink - also for the
    podcasting issue

    did you have any luck with PHP5 migration?
