Title: How do I enable On-demand content?
Post by: Rick Houghton on February 19, 2011, 10:41:59 am

I can see the on-demand content widget but I can't see any media placed in the 'ondemand' folder.  All menu options appear properly set. Why does it not work?

Configure Server >> Start page >> Enable on-demand content widget

Did that.  Still nothing shows up!

Anytime you make a change to the config part, you must restart your server.

Did that. Still nothing.  Is there any way to hack the 'ondemand.js' script to get it to see the playlist directories so my listeners can replay certain shows? That way I wouldn't need to move stuff to the ondemand directory at all.

I think the only files we can edit are the templates -- do your on demand mp3's show up on your start page? http://radio.shoutcastautodj.com/start/twok/

Hmmm. How come it works for you?  Everything else in my Cento setup is working fine, except for this ondemand thing.  P.S. where did you get the little player app?

LOL, I think it works for everybody! - You must be overlooking something.

Flash player can be included if you edit the config file ...

Can you run the mini caster from another web page (i.e. not the centova start page)?

Yes, we have added copy/paste code to our clients "quick links" section so they can easily include the flash player in their websites... but keep in mind, this will use up a lot more bandwidth.

Thanks for all your helpful info!  Maybe my problem with the ondemand is that I am not 'publishing' the files properly in the 'ondemand' folder.  I just copied them in via terminal...
