From HacktionLab: UK tech activist network and national skillshare gatherings and hack labs

Notes from radio workshop in Bradford November 2010

Scheduler

An automated webstream or mp3 files scheduler that can be accessed remotely

Would be great to have a public face so people can see more than the next show.

No real replacement.

v. Podcasting

Stream has appropriate shows for the time of day More fun to do a live stream? Live feedback

iTunes controlled via VNC remote desktop control

Command line play list

VLC scheduling ...

1. Enable Telnet interface in VLC - View > Add interface > Telnet interface
2. Start Telnet session

telnet localhost 4212

(the default password is probably admin)

1. Telnet commands:
