No info from LiveText on to the web just yet, tho we did a trial with 6 Music recently which was pretty successful in terms of synching delivery etc. We'll be looking to deliver this for sure (tho initially in some kind of Flash implementation probably, due to the characteristics of LiveText - sorry Dave et al! - though we'll also be exploring using LiveText archives etc) ...
Also note that LiveText won't be the only way of discerning track now playing - that could also be inferred from tracklistings pages etc. - which we're also trying to tighten up/automate. Bear with us while we roll across 10 national networks, broadcasting whatever they like, 24 hours a a day :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Hirst > Sent: 25 July 2005 18:56 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [backstage] What's playing now... > > > Thnx for the info, dan. > > > track now playing in LiveText - the scrolling text you see on a DAB > >Digital Radio LCD screen or when listening to the radio over our DTT > >Freeview services etc. That kind of information ("The track > now playing > >is...") is also available across several networks on LiveText > > does LiveText get fed to the web anywhere at all (even as a > diagnostic?), or is a MAKE involving a DAB radio, hacking the > display to generate acsii, and then pushing that to the web > via a server the only way to do it at the mo? ;-) > > tony > ----------------------------------------------------------- > SEE THE WICKED ROBOT INVASION MAP http://www.wickedrobots.co.uk/ > ----------------------------------------------------------- > Mail tags: > ----------------------------------------------------------- > Tony Hirst > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > blog: http://micro-info.blogspot.com/ > > Dept. of ICT, Faculty of Technology > Open University, Walton Hall, > Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA, UK > > Tel: +44 (0)19086 52789, m./SMS 07709 766223 > http://robofesta.open.ac.uk/tony http://www.robofesta-uk.org - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
