MediaInfoFetcher Release 1.2.2
Thursday 9 July 2009
First release of podcaster (0.1 beta)
Just made the first release (0.1 beta) of PodCaster. This is a beta release as its the first initial release. Hopefully this will allow me to find any bugs in it and make a solid second release.
Thinking about the next release, I'd like to add some configuration options to allow the tools that PodCaster relies on to be configured.
Here is some of the features that can be found in this release:
Thinking about the next release, I'd like to add some configuration options to allow the tools that PodCaster relies on to be configured.
Here is some of the features that can be found in this release:
- Capture Internet radio to audio files.
- Create MP3, WAV and MP4 files.
- Encodes metadata and cover art into the media files.
- Create pod cast from captured radio stations.
- Supports real audio and Microsoft ASF format.
New project PodCaster
A while back, I created to perl scripts that were used to record internet radio streams to files and place them in a podcast. This was maily because I like to listen to the nighttime shows in the day while I'm at work. Were not allowed to stream stuff over the work network because it places to much of a load on the network. So I came up with a better solution of recording them and putting them on my iPod.
This worked great for quite a while, but their were always some short comings in my scripts. I'm also mainly a Java/C++ coder, so the perl scritps are quite hacky. Then a while back, the scripts stopped working, I think this my badly written perl.
So I decided to recreate them in Java and started a new project called PodCaster, which can be found here. The idea is that it will replace the perl stuff I did before, but be cleaner and maintainable. Its progressed very well and quite a few new features have been added which the perl scripts could never do. Like for example encoding meta data into the recored audio files, adding cover art to the feed and been able to record the shows in different formats.
The Java PodCaster project still relies on some tools like mplayer and ffmpeg, but I might look to replacing them at some point with pure java code. The good news is that this is now nearing the first release (0.1). I expect I'll make the release official in the next couple of days.
