Quicktime Pro and Podcast Producer

Podcast Capture is the primary way to record and post audio and/or video to Podcast Producer.  If you were wanting to use Windows to create the podcast you could use Quicktime Pro 7.3 or later.  Make a recording in Quicktime then "share" the file.  In the menu bar select Podcast Producer, enter the producer's URL, username and password. Upload the file.

Using Windows version of Quicktime Pro to capture for Podcast Producer is not possible, sorry for any confusion.

Creating new workflows from a script

George Cook has provided a script that will take a workflow(included in the script package) and create a new one based on the new group name.  It is available here.  Call the script in the terminal with this command ./pcastgroup.sh  "new group name" .

podcast CLI man pages

I was reminded that there is also a podcast man page.  This is the command that is used by the web interface for Podcast Producer.  In the terminal type "man podcast".

There is a website called pcastaction Help - ANU TV that list all of the Podcast Producer "switches" to the CLI command, pcastaction.  You also can access this same info by typing "man pcastaction" in a terminal window. 

Tip: Web Interface for Podcast Producer

Robert Bennett says that there is a web interface for Podcast Producer at MacLearning.org.  It installs on the server and is accessed via port 8143.  Using a browser you can control camera agents or submit video files.  This should also work from a PC.
