DirCaster Version 0.9h Release

DrBill — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 03:05:17 +0000

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:
