Re: Campcaster/Campsite integration - Airtime Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

"Is there a roadmap for Plastelina anywhere? It's the first I heard about
it."

There is no roadmap yet, here are the specs:
https://docs.google.com/a/sourcefabric.org/Doc?docid=0AfW9Wm TmfQYdZGNiOGc0ajZfOXBqbmY4OWZw&hl=en

"How do you mean, duplicate? Campcaster doesn't have a web interface
for listeners at present, as far as I can see."

Campsite is already able to access Campcaster media files, see:
- http://en.flossmanuals.net/Campsite/EditingArticles
- http://en.flossmanuals.net/Campsite/Lists
(search for "audio attachments")

Currently using these features some simple use cases can be implemented but
for more complex stuff Campsite needs more code changes. Plastelina will be
the application that will be better integrated with Campcaster.

Thanks, but I can't log in there - my Sourcefabric single sign-on
doesn't seem to work with that page. I don't have a sourcefabric.org
email address at present.

Cool!

If audio and video files can be tagged with a still image, title and
description, it should be possible to autogenerate program listings from
the Campcaster schedule, like this:

iPlayer tends to remove content after seven days or so, but for other
stations, the entire archive could be made available permanently. That
might mean a growing rack of storage servers are required, but you can
store a great deal of content in 4U rack space these days.

Cheers!
