Podcasting

This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Welcome!
There are some tools in Drupal that made available podcasting, which are very good indded, but as everything can be even better, I thought that would be good to have a special place to share thoughts, ideas, questions, tips and general information about podcasting using Drupal.
There is a video group already, but podcasting is more than video, it includes audio, and there´s no audio group :-)
Please, feel free to subscribe to this group.

Playlist Video and Audio

Posted by Toktik on January 5, 2010 at 1:18pm

Hi all.

I need playlist for Audio and Video. There is no module which provides full playlist functionality. Playlist I mean HTML list where user clicks and Player changes audio which information contains that HTML list element(via javascript for example).

Any suggestion? How to realize this?

Thank you.

iTunes Feed Help

Posted by dang.artman on November 16, 2009 at 8:43pm

I have setup a podcast site with the iTunes module. I have added the itunes image into the feed, but unlike many other feeds, there is not standard tag. I do not have a thumbnail coming up in the iTunes directory and my suspicion is that it's this missing image tag that is causing the issue. How can I add an tag to my feed?

Drupal 6 podcasting: best modules?

Posted by glass.dimly on September 12, 2009 at 9:31pm

Hey all,

I notice that the audio module is still unstable on D6 and hasn't had a release since May. Views podcast is still dev for 5x.

So what are you folks using for audio podcasting in D6 sites? I've seen a discussion or two that were from back in the D5 days.

Flashmeeting/Video Bridge

Posted by SamRose on March 22, 2008 at 5:40pm

I've explored with some people the idea of creating a "Video bridge" with open source buildign blocks http://www.dorfwiki.org/wiki.cgi?VideoBridge

Probably the best working example of what I would like to do is at http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/

I am right now assessing how to incorporate this into Drupal. Some open questions:

Whether to use Adobe Flash Server, or extend some other open libraries?

Is anyone else already working on this?

Recommended modules for Podcasting

Posted by TallDavid on November 6, 2007 at 4:32am

Greetings from Texas!
I've been using Drupal to build sites for a couple of years, but, have never incorporated podcasting. I now have a need to build a site to host the business podcast of a long term customer. I'd like to leverage the experience of my fellow Drupaler's to climb the learning curve rapidly.

What are the best modules to use for podcasting? Why?
What are best practices (tips/tricks/traps) for Drupal podcasting?
When should I roll-my-own using CCK/Views?

TIA, David

Optimal Format for audio module.

Posted by halkeye on September 4, 2007 at 8:24pm

I've been trying to setup a drupal based podcast site for a friend of mine's show for a while now.
I've recently figured out that the method of concatenation of the different segments doesn't produce a clean mp3.

Since I now have to adjust my scripts, I was wondering what the optimal encoding settings that the audio module (and the flash players ) prefer using lame.

I think I remember that I saw that the flash players can only handle 44khz mp3s? is that right?

Youtube-like, with flash transcoding

Posted by yoann on May 9, 2007 at 1:10pm

Hello,

I wrote a module derived from the drupal Video module to build a Youtube-like platform.
The site can be seen at http://www.kaouenn.net

Features:
- Creative commons licenses support
- auto transcoding to flash flv (with ffmpeg), with load balancing support (transcoding can be done outside the web server). Video formats supported include mpeg, realmedia, wmv... In fact the ffmpeg supported formats
- support video and audio only

The transcoding part is done with shell scripts updating the drupal DB through the XMLRPC interface.

Wich Podcasting Feature would you add to a TO-DO list?
