  • Hi Tom,

    Thanks for the question about XSPF. I've personally been a fan of XSPF for
    some time, but unfortunately Campcaster doesn't currently support
    playlists in that format. Campcaster uses SMIL as its playlist format, so
    conceivably you could either do an XSLT transform between XSLT and SMIL,
    or possibly you could alter the Campcaster source code to support XSPF in
    addition to SMIL. Theoretically it shouldn't be _too_ hard to do, but I'd
    like to hear what the other devs have to say.

    Hope this helps,

    douglas

    hi, can anyone tell me if campcaster supports xspf, or if there is 3rd
    support?
  • Hi Douglas,
    Thank you for the quick response. Usually I'd be all for the XSLT but XSPF
    seems to be an appropriate internal feature of Campcaster. Is there a
    plug-in architecture? What would be the best strategy? Here is an existing
    XSPF to SMIL XSLT http://gonze.com/xspf/xspf2smil.xsl

  • We now have two more computer science students volunteering to get our
    student radio off the ground. I think between the three of us we could do
    some work on Campcaster to get the XSPF support, but it doesn't seem like
    anyone else is terribly interested in the idea.

    How are other users using embeded players with playlist of upcoming songs?

    br, tom
