Dear studi0 community

We decided to add an #element #matrix #privateSpace #chatRoom to our setup and called it: tupambaeORGstudi0
Please be patient in any case as this is complete #Neuland for the admin in charge.

At least he managed to onboard a filmmaker, photographer and writer as the first step to understand how invites work!

So, hi there!
.. self-hosting based in Paris, France newbie @ elena@aseachange.com, director of The Illusionists documentary and #FOSDEM2025 traveler for your new proyect:
💌 #TheFutureIsFederated
The one who host's here 📷 photos apparently at @ ele@photos.elenarossini.com.

To begin with we created 3 rooms:

• studi0 community
  
• APP tutorials
  
  
  and as the first officialy approved project
  @jesuiSatire …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ managed to trigger:
  
• Projekt wahlKarnavalKrampf #foFritzMertz

In the @EDIT | don't follow! profile we creatd already a postString for that Projekt with a very limited time horizon.

Next step will probably be creating a activityPub #podcast handle on cast.tupambae.com by @utopiArte, the admin over there, as content colection and conversation about the idea itself in the EDITing post is already up and running.
Part of the details concerning the cast domain is to figure out how to organize the tools #castopod gives us at hand as it looks like it has quite interesting options to organize cooperation, as stated briefly in a tutorial page created on that site, result of the #learningBYdoing process while installing it: brief Castopod tutorial

Last but not least, we are still trying to drag @lizzischmidt the creator and promotor of the #sundayGimp community experience that is alive and running for over a decade on #diaspora* on to our shores, but federation with diaspora, from a technical point of view, definitely has seen better times in the past. Maybe this very cross community chat option, added right here and now, can help to improve the communication for all of us.

This inicial publication will federate quite well out into the vast space of the #fediVerse, but to see comments from the diaspora bubble and the #activityPub sphear, youll have to visit this original page on this friendica server.
Unless of course you are friendican yourself.

So, with no more further introduction, let's jam the #fediFolks!

Looks like it's starting to work out!

First publication of the #castoPod subdomain hosted on this very VPS server. This answer contains actually a direct link to a video snippet created on the instance and hosted on the instance. The setup is a littel weird, more like have way to the final goal, but with some work arounds usefull, including for the hosting of videos.

Videosnippet aus der Episode der mit #castopod erstellt wurde und auf der Instanz hinterlegt ist. Eingebettete Texte aus einer extra hierfür erstellten Untertiteldatei im .srt Format werden eingeblendet. Der Video an sich ist nicht viel mehr als eine rotbraune Oberfläche auf der das Thumbnail der Episode zu sehen ist. Die Untertiteltexte erscheinen auf der Oberfläche.

The views on mastodon of the ways the audio posts are displayed.
The orginal #castopod #podcast publication shows up in the preview as a video with the general podcast cover. If the play button is selected, the window changes into a audio replay option window. No download option,
@bitPickup@cast.tupambae.com itself is set as "prevent copy".
The MP3 audio URL posted in [audio] BBCode brackets by @utopiarte
shows up as a different (black) audio file reproduction window. A download option is displayed.

Hi there,
testing around with the software #castopod, developed by @Castopod :podcasting2: .

In general terms federation with #friendica works, even integration into public forum pages and reshare by those when the castopod profile is followed by the forum page in the first place, as tested with the forum page @podCasts. As of now following from castopod profiles apparently isn't implemented. Also as of now we didn't manage to get the cron job to work at that new instalation on a shared hosting.

What is strange is that a podcast episode publication doesn't embeed the audio player so it can't be reproduced inside the post shown over here on friendica. On mastodon this works, the post displayes a video like screen and reproduces the audio file.

Not sure if this is a specific issue of this friendica instance as it is stil 2023.05 or if this is something the latest versions experience to.

The uploaded audio file was in the format m4a.
