Version 12 of Audio Webcast from the Tcl Conference

Reinhard Max - Oct 12, 2004

There will be ogg/vorbis streams available from the technical sessions at the Eleventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference. They will be up at least for the duration of the sessions (Wed-Fri, 09:00-17:00). The detailed schedule can be found here: [L1 ].

You can tune in with any player than can play ogg/vorbis streams that come in via HTTP.

This includes:

Kroc's basic snack stream player (Requires snack, ActiveTcl is useable as foundation as well).
winamp (audio player for Windows)
xmms (audio player for Linux)
ogg123 (Ogg player for Linux)
MPlayer (media player for Linux)
RealPlayer (media player for Linux and Windows)

There are also ogg-plugins available for other players. Please feel free to extend the list with more players you find working and with URLs to those listed.

The URLs of the streams are:

http://us.cast.tclers.tk:8000/conference.ogg (for listeners in America)
http://de.cast.tclers.tk:8000/conference.ogg (for listeners in Europe)

Some players want playlist URLs instead of the direct stream URLs, so if the above URLs don't work with your player although it claims to support Ogg/Vorbis, you can try one of these:

All listeners are invited to log in to the Tcl'ers Chat for coordination and for asking questions to the speakers at the conference. There will be people in the conference room who are logged in to the chat and can proxy between remote listeners and the speaker.

Thanks to Jacob Levy, and the other owners of mod3.net for sponsoring the bandwidth for the American listeners, and to Steve Redler IV for providing the hardware that sends the upstream from the conference hotel.
