[HacktionLab] how should we embed audio and video - and invite others to do it

[Mike Harris]

Hi Mick,

I use one that I've always got on quite well with, it embeds as a single
track player:

http://www.bristolwireless.net/ (check Ujima 98 FM live on the right
hand side)

And as a playlist using an XML file:

http://www.radiovague.com/creamtease/

The playlist in XML can be a combination of local and remote files at
different URLs and the URL of a live stream.

I reckon it'd be possible to hack Icecast to output this XML format, so
that you could feed the live streams from an server straight into a player.

Was that the kind of thing you were after?

Cheers,

Mike.
