payloads for rss

Adam Curry: payload http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/ Adam Currys rss enclosure test channel en-us Copyright 2004 Adam Curry Sun, 27 Jun 2004 16:23:38 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Radio UserLand v8.0.9b2 adam@curry.com adam@curry.com rssUpdates 1 2 3 5 0 4 6 19 60 collaborative audio books About a week and a half ago I stumbled onto AKMA's brilliant <a href="http://akma.disseminary.org/archives/001253.html">idea</a> to create an audio-book version of Lawrence Lessig's new book "<a href="http://free-culture.org/index.html">Free Culture</a>". Bloggers quickly signed up to the collaborative by claiming chapters to read in the posting's comments. I arrived a bit late to the party, so I didn't get to read a chapter, although there is plenty of room for alternative voices and reads, but that's for later. I'm a big believer in audio books and 'read' this way frequently. I just finished Dan Brown's '<a href="http://www.audible.com/adbl/store/product.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1955256185.1081010988@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccjadcldmjggkecefecegedfhfdgfi.0&uniqueKey=1081011004352&productID=BK_RAND_000266">The DaVinci Code</a>' in about 2 week's time of travelling to my morning radio show whilst listeing in the car. I use my iPod and the <a href="http://www.thinkdifferentstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=250">iTrip</a>, a snap-on fm-transmitter, so I can enjoy the reading on my car's stereo. It's also much safer. I listen to lots of stuff on my iPod besides music and audio books. There are <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/lydon/specialRssFeed">interviews</a> and archives of old radio shows. There's even an <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/dailyAudioBible/rss.xml">audio bible</a>. Downloading these files and getting them onto my iPod was a tedious task. Clicking and waiting for hundreds of megabytes to be transferred just doesn't cut the mustard. Not at least, from a broadcaster's perspective. I believe there is a market for subscription based audio and video. As long as it requires no intervention from the user other than clicking the play button for instantaneous playback. That's where <a href="http://www.thetwowayweb.com/payloadsforrss">rss enclosures</a> come in. The concept results in a subscribable service that delivers new content to your news aggregator. Additional <a href="http://www.blognewsnetwork.com/members/0000001/2003/08/31.html#a4390">'glue'</a> gets it onto the desired playback system automatically. This is how I receive a new verse from the bible every day on my iPod. It's always there for me in the morning when I take my iPod from it's dock. No intervention required on my part. The same process can be created with video files that are sent to a TiVo. Today I created an <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/freeCulture/rss.xml">rss feed</a> for the Free Culture audio-book project. Subscribing to it with an <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/directory/5/aggregators/enclosureawareAggregators">enclosure aware aggregator</a> will download all the files you need to assemble the audio book. A logical followup to this project would be more multiple reader audio books. These could be delivered in one go as with the Free Culture feed, or they could be by subscription, where a new chapter is delivered daily. Regardless of your reading pace, the content will always be there when you are ready for it, not the other way around. Ofcourse non of this would have been possible without Lessig's gracious Creative Commons <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/1.0/">license</a>. This brings me to the <a href="http://www.gutenberg.net/find.php">Project Gutenberg</a>. A collaborative project that catalogues the texts of books that are old enough to qualify as a part of the <a href="http://www.gutenberg.net/faq/C-8.shtml">public domain</a>. <a href="http://www.gutenberg.net/faq/C-10.shtml">Most</a> are 100 years old, but there are many extremely recognizable <a href="http://www.gutenberg.net/cgi-bin/search/t9.cgi?subject=Children's%20literature">titles</a> and <a href="http://www.gutenberg.net/cgi-bin/search/t9.cgi?author=mark+twain&title=&whole=yes&browse=25">authors</a>. Many are classics that can still be enjoyed by new audiences today, as they have for decades. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tom Swift <a href="http://www.gutenberg.net/cgi-bin/search/t9.cgi">series</a>, which i read a a kid, are now in the public domain. The Free Culture audio-book experiment showed me how quickly and efficiently this type of content can be produced, I am certain the model can be replicated with content from Project Gutenberg and hope to discuss this concept with others at <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/bloggerCon/">BloggerCon II</a>. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2004/04/03.html#a5477 Sat, 03 Apr 2004 17:34:19 GMT operation iraqi convertible "It appears to be fornecation in a convertible sir."

A lot of the conversation is about "rss", specifically <a href="http://www.thetwowayweb.com/payloadsforrss">enclosures</a>. Fun to see this 22 meg file had already downloaded and was sitting there waiting for me in my iPod when I awoke. Marcus wrote a <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/2003/10/20.html#a4644">script</a> for me last year that takes an rss enclosure that ends with .mp3 and automagically adds it to a special iPod playlist once it's been downloaded. I've also been testing <a href="http://grumet.net/weblog/archives/2004/03/11/000692.html">Andrew's</a> BitTorrent glue. Works as advertised! http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2004/03/14.html#a5361 Sun, 14 Mar 2004 09:17:43 GMT journey to mars A beautiful quicktime movie of the Spirit's journey to mars. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2004/01/17.html#a5091 Sat, 17 Jan 2004 18:45:49 GMT are they crooked? I <a href="http://feeds.scripting.com/viewSharedFeeds?source=1c7f1d6278d9daf402e5c6f5f7eee8e0&op=View">see</a> there's a few folks subscribed to my payload channel. An enclosure for y'all today. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2004/01/04.html#a5022 Sun, 04 Jan 2004 18:09:27 GMT Today is Sinterklaas in the Netherlands. Although the country celebrates Christmas and giftgiving on the 25th, this tradition looks similar, but has a totally <a href="http://www-astro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~erik/sint/sint.html#explanation">different</a> background. Sinterklaas was indeed a real guy: St. Nikolaus and he really was a bishop and he became famous as an infant because he allegedly stopped drinking his mothers breast milk when it was time to fast.... The story goes that when he was a bishop he once saved three young women from their dismal life of prostitution by tossing gold coins through their window, which landed in their shoes. Today the tradition of children placing their (wooden) shoes by the window to receive treats and gifts is clearly related to the legend. Not quite sure about the White horse, the headquarters in Spain or the politically incorrect 'Black Piets" that are his helpers. And in 2003 we've even got a <a href="http://www.boomchicago.nl/images/zwarte_rap_1.wmv">rap video</a> for SInt. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/12/05.html#a4879 Fri, 05 Dec 2003 07:48:54 GMT european anthem Kewl, I just found the <a href="http://europa.eu.int/abc/symbols/anthem/index_en.htm">European Anthem</a>. No words [intenionally], but quite a familiar <a href="http://europa.eu.int/abc/symbols/anthem/sounds/anthem-96kbps.mp3">piece</a> of music. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/12/03.html#a4871 Wed, 03 Dec 2003 08:45:11 GMT exnodes for sale <a href="http://euro.weblogs.com/members/0000002/">Marcus</a> turned me onto the <a href="http://loci.cs.utk.edu/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=35">IBPvo</a> project that uses <a href="http://www.syllabus.com/news_issue.asp?id=153&IssueDate=10/30/2003">LoRS</a>. Without a doubt something big media companies will want to take a look at. Currently you can set a 'vcr' to record any television program, and download it super fast from distributed nodes. I can't get access to the system because it is intended for scholastic and research purposes only and I guess I don't qualify. I was hoping to figure out a way to attach an exnode (that's the file (200kb) you receive in the mail when your recorded program is ready for watching) as an enclosure in an RSS feed. I <a href="http://www.blognewsnetwork.com/members/0000001/2003/11/15.html#a4777">will pay</a> for access to such a system/service/feed. Feel free to send me any exnodes you have layin' around :) The more I play around with this system, the more perfect it seems for RSS enclosures. When you store a file, it has a lease of 1 day before it is purged from the system. More than enough time for an aggregator to download the file and store a local copy. Self cleansing distribution and storage! I've attached an exnode of an mp3 if anyone wants to give the system a try. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/11/23.html#a4822 Sun, 23 Nov 2003 14:03:16 GMT enclosures problem in radio I just noticed the "Radio Userland" has a problem with long filenames when downloading enclosures. It looks like the downloads occur, but can't be written to the designated enclosures folder. This results in RU attempting to [re]download massive numbers of files each time you restart. Has anyone else encountered this? http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/11/20.html#a4810 Thu, 20 Nov 2003 09:29:55 GMT more video for your rss aggregator "Scripting News": Good thing the convention is in the summer or else you might have to suffer through Kerry playing hockey. (ReRoute: Enclosed in this RSS <a href="http://archive.scripting.com/rss/2003/11/18">feed</a>.) btw, my <a href="http://www.blognewsnetwork.com/members/0000001/2003/11/15.html#a4777">request</a> for video enclosures of Leno and Letterman is starting to shape up. I'm getting them in, but not yet via rss enclosures. still digging. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/11/19.html#a4798 Wed, 19 Nov 2003 07:56:01 GMT payment for payloads Yesterday dave <a href="http://archive.scripting.com/2003/11/13#When:5:33:37PM">added</a> a 35Mb quicktime video to his rss feed that automagically popped up ready to play on my machine this morning. I will pay anyone who is willing to set up a similar rss feed with daily enclosures of Letterman and/or Leno's tv show for my private viewing pleasure. If you have a TiVo, it probably can be a completely automated process, including my paypal payment to you. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/11/15.html#a4777 Sat, 15 Nov 2003 09:44:31 GMT kewl app (windows) What is <a href="http://lionhardt.com/ee/">Enclosure Extractor</a>? http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/11/02.html#a4708 Sun, 02 Nov 2003 08:53:14 GMT RSS2iPod Mac users can use this <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/gems/iPod.zip">folder applescript</a> to automagically update your iPod with any new mp3's that are downloaded to your "Radio UserLand" enclosures folder from <a href="http://www.thetwowayweb.com/payloadsforrss">enclosure aware</a> "rss" feeds. To install: replace "Adam's Curry's iPod" with the name of your iPod and attach the script to your Enclosures folder (located in your Radio UserLand application folder) using the Attach Script To Folder script, located in your /Library/Scripts/Folder Actions/ folder. You can test this script by subscribing to the <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/syncpod/rss.xml">syncPod channel</a>, which delivers a new mp3 every day. Update: Hmmm, it seems the script only works when the first enclosure is downloaded. Any scripting guru's out there want to help with this script so it transfers all enclosures? http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/10/12.html#a4604 Sun, 12 Oct 2003 10:11:34 GMT enclosure support updated Radio UserLand <a href="http://jake.userland.com/2003/10/09.html#a873">Update</a>: The RSS enclosures prefs page now includes a setting for choosing where to save downloaded enclosures. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/10/11.html#a4592 Sat, 11 Oct 2003 10:45:47 GMT syncPod channel update The syncPod channel has bene updated with a new mp3.

Chris Lydon is posting some <a href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/lydon/2003/09/12#a314">great inerviews</a>, his syndicated feed would be perfect for developers to use to help integrate <a href="http://www.thetwowayweb.com/payloadsforrss">enclosures</a> into their <a href="http://www.hebig.org/blogs/archives/main/000877.php">aggregators.</a> Once you use an aggregator that knows what to do with enclosures, you'll never want to look back! Your aggregator shows a new media-file is available and when you click the link, the file plays instantaneously. No waiting, since your aggregator downloaded the file prior to announcing it ,in order to deliver an awesome time-shift experience. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/categories/payload/2003/09/13.html#a4462 Sat, 13 Sep 2003 13:57:37 GMT johnny cashes in <a href="http://www.blognewsnetwork.com/members/0000001/images/2003/09/13/johnnyCash.jpg"><img src="http://www.blognewsnetwork.com/members/0000001/images/2003/09/13/johnnyCash.jpg" align="right" border=0></a> Johnny Cash <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/030912/241/595mx.html&e=1&ncid=1750">passed away</a> yesterday at 71.
