Imagine, on your UBB site, you have a link to a streaming UBB Mp3 Radio Jukebox, that provide your members the ability to play all your mp3 files live while browsing your board.
Every member can share his own files to the same community, and everyone can make their own playlists (m3u-files) of the music this community shares.
Using streaming software, that downstream your high quality mp3 files on the fly, everyone even with slow modems are able to listen to the music directly without downloading anything first.
This requires:
- A good frontend integrated in UBB
- A frontend that give the users full flexibility in choosing files to play, and to make and edit their own playlists
- some of the best streaming server programs giving the horsepower in the background :-)
- a lot of people posting good ideas and comments to this thread :-)
- and someone good at coding PHP
I have triad out some of the programs already made for this.
I havent found something as good as I want, and neither I have found anything that easily can be integrated in the UBB.
(integration..I think of cookies, memberpermitions...whos online, and that stuff)
A nice pactical interface I have found in
AGATHA that is demonstrated
HERE Agatha uses the
mpg123 to take care of the downstreaming of the mp3 files.
I havent found that combination so good, but I like agatha's functionality.
Another combination is the
MP3SDS that is very good in the way it uses the
LAME downstreaming encoder. But the MP3SDS graphic interface and functionality itself is NOT any good, for this purpose at least
As a start of my idee, and to make some of you clear in what I am looking for, I would love to combine something like Agatha's funktionality with the MP3SDS great way of using the LAME.
This is just an idea, and I am shure a lot of you folks can do it even bether.
But to make this have a chance to become something great, I hope a lot of people give constructive comments to this thread.
If it cant be done by you great UBB hack coders, we can use the discussion to define some idea what we want and ask some other place to get it done.
But join this thread and let us all hear if this could be a great hack
