Availability of 30-min broadcasts?

[featheredprop]

Hey Steve,

Any idea why the 30-min broadcasts are not regularly posted? It is not unusual to have several missing each week.

...not that I'm complaining ... well ... yes ... I guess I am complaining. :)

peace,

I've been wondering the exact same thing!

I have to admit, I don't know how any of them are posted. I don't know who does it. There are so many volunteers doing different aspects of this ministry, that I don't know who does what. I also don't know anything about how to post them. I know tat KKMC posts the afternoon show after it has run, but I have never known how the morning show gets posted. I know nothing about the internet and how it works, so I don't even know what questions to ask of whom about this.

With all of those "I don't knows" one would think that I asked you a Bible question! :)

Looks like we are all on The Road to Find Out Where the Records Are ...

peace,

Jarrod, I have a script recording them from a cron job but it's on a bandwidth limited personal server -- I could have the script scp them to Theos each week as an alternative site if you want to set me up with a shell. The eggbeater podcast script is pretty nice -- it creates the rss on the fly based on the contents of the directory when the request is made, so routine copying to the folder is all that's required to update the feed.

Darrin,

What language is the script written in? I would be willing to host the entire recording process if it will run on *nix.

I say lets do that... I like having the morning show after i finish the afternoon show and I'm still in the truck.

Pretty simple, really -- run bash script from cron job. you'll need a few binaries below (widely available) -- and replace the paths of course...

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf /******/sgsecular/incomplete/*.mp3

## Start recording stream
/opt/local/bin/streamripper ksco.got.net:9000/ -l 3180 -dq /******/sgsecular >/dev/null

## Rename and move file
mv /******/sgsecular/KSCO\ AM\ 1080\ Santa\ Cruz\ CA\ USA\ \(831\)\ 475-1080/incomplete/\ -\ .mp3 /******/sgsecular/road_to_findout_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).mp3

## Add new tag
/opt/local/bin/id3tag -a "Steve Gregg" -s"$(date +%Y-%m-%d).mp3" -A"Road To Findout" /******/sgsecular/road_to_findout_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).mp3

You make it all seem so simple, Darrin ...

Now, does anyone have the gift of interpretation?
