Re: audio only capture?



Hello,

    To have an entry only with a link to your audio file, you have to modify template.plist and /Templates/groupblog.html.erb. In the first one, you have to remove other tasks and keep only (from "Blog without archive" for example):
    - annotate
    - encode_audio
    - groupblog
    - mail (if needed)
    - postflight
    - preflight
    - publish_audio
    - template_groupblog
    - template_mail (if needed)
    - unpack
   
    And you also have to remove dependencies (tasks you've removed) from those tasks.

    In groupblog.html.erb, you need to call the audio's .yaml:
       % audio_publish = ((YAML::load_file("audio_publish_description_file.yaml") rescue nil) || {})
    To then get it's URL:
       % audio_publish_url = (audio_publish[:url] || "")
    And display it in the entry:
       <a href="" quotify(audio_publish_url) %>>Download this Audio Podcast</a>

    That's the way i'll do..

    About capturing the sound, except through podcast capture i don't know how to do only sound recording..

Bob,
The audio is already being created with a workflow like the Blog without Archive.  The issue is that the workflows to the blogs do not expose the download links or rss feeds to the audio only file.  The task would be to modify the post to group blog portion of the work flow to create these links.  I had been looking at this in Dec 2007 but other projects pushed it away.
It is not trivial.

Sorry I was not clear. We are using this web interface, http://maclearning.org/, since we already have a pc in every classroom built into podium systems. Hiding a mac mini in the room is feasible but adding to that a monitor/mouse/keyboard is not for several reasons, primarily we have some heavily tenured (30+ years) faculty that have a hatred of macs I would call biblical in scale. Anyway, for this reason, remoting into the mac is not an option either, it's this web interface or nothing. I have tested the PCP interface to verify that it does indeed work with no camera attached and it creates only an audio file. Now I just need to figure out how to get a workflow to do this.

Robert,

I am confused by your audio question.  Have you used the audio capture feature in the PcP Capture Agent on the mac mini?  You should be able to capture audio only and then run it through the workflow.

ave requests from many professors wanting only audio podcasts of classes using the podcast producer website. I've been limping along using a camera and one of the blog workflows that produces a nice mp4 along with all the video files and then just getting rid of the excess. However, as more and more professors ask for this, we do not have that many cameras but we have plenty of extra mac mini's. I've not been able to figure out how to do this. Is it in the workflow? I don't see where in the workflow the start and stop commands are to add --audioonly to. Has anyone figured this out?

I've also been struggling to get a simple workflow that just creates a single mov file without the iphone/ipod/edge files we don't need. Everytime I try taking out small sections, like the iphone section (along with all the dependsontasks references to iphone), the recording fails.

I'll keep messing with it but I appreciate any help.
