No, it's no dream. Playing network streams is a feature we've been working
on but haven't yet been able to bring to completion. The idea is that
Campcaster would be able to play network streams as it would any other
sound file, meaning it could be played in live mode or scheduled for a
certain time (top of the hour until 5 minutes past for the news, for
example).
However, we haven't been able to finish it, and it is currently "under
construction." That feature won't make it into the upcoming Campcaster 1.4
release, but it is something we'd like to get into the 1.5 release.
Hope this helps,
douglas

I have been learning how to use Campcaster to explore the possibilities it
opens for some kind of community channel.
But I'm confused: with audio content there are sound files, with green
icons, and playlists, with brown/orange icons. Did I read on in a
manual/quickstart guide/wiki somewhere that there is also a THIRD category
of item - red? - that is perhaps some kind of 'audio feed' (I was thinking
perhaps I could use this to point to a site to schedule news. Or perhaps
this is pure fantasy!)?
I've been through the documentation again but can't seem to find this: if
it does exist, could anyone shed any light on what this might be and how it
can be used? If not, perhaps I imagined this, so sorry for wasting your
time!
Also, is it possible to mix between one track and another in live mode?
I do hope that it is possible to introduce some kind of random playout
sometime in the future, as this would make the software much more useful,
IMHO. But I appreciate it takes time, skills and money - and can't offer
any of these.
