Fixed an issue that caused newer versions of PHP to break DirCaster’s ability to display the description of a file from the later (new) version of getid3 (getid3-1.9.1-20110810) – also fixed a date issue. Please be sure that the timezone is specified in your php.ini, i.e. =
date.timezone = “America/New_York”

I posted a great “add-on” for those of you that use DirCaster, the Open Source way to make your audio, or video files available via an RSS feed! The new add-on is “PHPstream,” a tool to stream flash video from your web server, using PHP, the server-side scripting language! Check it out on the DirCaster Downloads page:

Our very own Open Source project, DirCaster, has a new release… Version .09d is out! A new contributer, Jared Benedict, has added new code to handle media files with a duration over 60 minutes in length. Also, our regular coder, Henry Ratliff, has modularized the code to make updates easier! Check it out!

Yep, another great addition to DirCaster from Henry. The latest version: DirCaster Version 0.9b – Added in a guid change to allow for multiple files that had the same file date in the feed, and identifies them as “false” for permalinks.

If you are using DirCaster… grab this one!
