The new KLIK site is coming along nicely! Â A sneak peak for those of you who follow the blog can be seen at http://new.klikradio.org/ (discrete, isn’t it?)
Essentially, here’s what’s been accomplished so far:
- The tabbed iFrame interface
- Changed the Flash player to a “player” tab which will accommodate our song and show rating systems as well as maintain links to desktop-based music players (iTunes, Windows Media, etc.)  Thanks to the unique iFrame interface, the flash file will continue to play KLIK in the background, regardless of which tab the user is currently on.
- The album art now updates (currently integrates with Amazon)
- The current track now updates (based on Icecast meta data)
Our iPhone web app is also coming along nicely, and is being developed by Jordan.
The podcaster app, mostly maintained by Jake, is also going to see some additional improvements over the next several weeks. Â These include:
- Additional automation and better integration with our custom, built-in-house SQL-based schedule manager
- Virtually 100% of the problems encountered with the podcaster are caused by human error, despite the fact the interface is so strikingly simple. Â However, some of this simplicity has backfired. Â For instance, while there is now an indicator light to see if you are currently recording or not, there is no way to determine if you are actually podcasting to your show.
- As such, shows are going to automatically start and end recording, unless some level of human intervention prevents it.
- This change will essentially update the entire interface, so we’ll have to see how that turns out.
Stay tuned!
