Hi all,

With HTML5 supporting Ogg natively in Firefox and Chrome, it should be
possible to embed audio files from the Campcaster storage server and
live Icecast streams directly into pages served by Campsite, without
requiring any separate media player to be installed by the user.

I think that's potentially a killer feature for radio station websites,
or any news organisation that streams audio, because audio would only
have to be encoded once for all three formats - radio, streaming and
website. Storage space saved, and no transcoding problems.

Beyond that, how about putting Ogg Theora video files into Campcaster
storage? The audio codec is Vorbis, so that part should play out to the
radio as normal, but the video+audio could be streamed via Icecast, or
offered for on demand streaming via Campsite pages.

It should also be possible to have Campsite serve a version of the
latest news suitable for a radio announcer - plain screen, large
readable font etc. That would save time copying and pasting, printing
out scripts and so on.

Please post your integration thoughts on the Campcaster development list
or forum. I believe this integration could also help Campsite, by making
it unique among the many CMS products available.

Cheers!

Daniel
