In the words of Ice-T; I'm back / _/ / /
motherfucker! baudVision has been on hiatus \_______/_\___/____/\___/____/_
for who knows how long after I decided to / \/ \/ / \
rebuild it from the ground up and then never / _/ /_ _/
finished it because it got to be a drag. /- / _/ /
\________/\________/\___/____/
That turned out to be a blessing though,
I lost so much traction with the effort I was making that I had to roll back a
bunch of progress and find better, simpler ways of doing things and now it
works gloriously!
Everything I wanted to be able to do from day one works now; the playlists
are generated dynamically so I can just dump files in the hopper and they'll
be automagically added to the playlist and the nowplaying finger now works
too, thanks to jns[1] teaching me some DBus black magic.
The URL has changed slightly since the last time I wrote about it so now
you'll need to point your media player at
http://baud.vision:21225 - you can
finger
[email protected] for the name of the file now playing or
[email protected] for the 411 on what's going on. You can also hit up
gopher://baud.vision for info too.
The library is small but growing, we've got some radical 80s BMX in there,
some old school anime, some music videos, lots of old tech/old internet
oddities and all kinds of weirdness. I've also made a real effort to try and
salvage things from the pre-/early-YouTube days, including a lot from the old
RantTV streams I mentioned in the original baudVision announcement[2].
Tune in, enjoy, if you have any feedback then hit me up. We have an
official #baudVision channel on tilde.chat[3] if you're into that kinda thing
otherwise find me wherever you can find me.
