Podcasting Automation

Podcasting Script

Release: 02.22.2006

The rss.cfm script went live. This is a script that picks up mixed media from an afs directory and generates a podcast.

Features:
Media Types Supported: mp3, aac, m4v, mp4, m4a, m4b
Takes two URL parameters to locate the media: course ID (e.g. HBHED654) and semester (e.g.W06)
- these two parameters are the directories created under 'podcast', however these have to be valid courses listed under course database with a valid instructor

Bugs:
- No error handling for cases where course description or instructor query fails - need to add defaults.
- The title for PDFs is coming out to be "Lecture Audio for..." - this needs fixing.
