rc-sssad

Howdy all, I've been using the sssad objects, mainly datastore within my main song patches for a while now but needed to be able to save just locla objects. I found thesolution in the 808_local object in the diy2 patches but had the problem of multiple sssad saving objects telling each other to save, which is annoying if you are trying multiple changes and just want to save only one local set of objects' states. Blahblahblah, anyway I made rc-sssad to rectify those annoyances. It can be both a global and local saving object, depending on $1. Only the object that issued to save command will save, so multiple local objects can work together. Mabey this will be useful to someone. --- Dan Wilcox danomatika.com robotcowboy.com

Re: [PD] Pd as a 24/7 Icecast/Shoutcast source client (alternative)

John, I had a look at the radio pages. Looks good. Is there any particular reason you chose Shoutcast over Icecast? Are you using PD solely for the mp3cast~? Or is it doing more than that? Are you using the GUI's for all of these (jack, PD, jack-rack, xmms)? From what I understand, ffserver is used for the flash version, right? I haven't really heard much about flash stuff, I personally dislike flash and I don't even have in installed. -Ilias John Harrison wrote: > Not sure how much this adds to the conversation but... we have been > using mp3cast~ to stream our radio station to 2 shoutcast servers for > a few years now.
