Ionic 2 & Exoplayer for Android

This last week I got to experimenting with Ionic 2, and the Cordova ExoPlayer plugin for Android.

The working example is posted here: https://github.com/spyderboy/ionic2Exoplayer

2017 Summer Music Fest Sizzle Reel

This year we had a lot of fun at Pittsburgh's WYEP Summer Music Fest.

Using our DJI Osmo handheld steady-cams, we shot a bunch of 4k footage.  Showing off the beautiful day, great music, and an energized crowd, this short video really gives you an idea of what it was all about.

Big props to our Digital Media intern, Owen Hipwell for capturing the essence and producing this Sizzle Reel!

Digital Technology group for nonprofit music stations

Maybe you have a problem I've already solved.  Maybe you have a solution that I could benefit from...  

Here's a public Slack group for those of us working with digital technology:

Let's talk about:

Streaming

Analytics

Apps

Video

Content Management Systems

Collaboration Software

Content Creation Software

... and more

So you want an Alexa Skill for your radio station...

Two days after my new Amazon Echo Dot arrived, I had our new Alexa Skill for WYEP working, submitted, and accepted by Amazon.

It's basic.  It plays our live stream (AAC), and will tell you what song NPR Digital's Composer thinks we are playing (not always accurate, in part due to humans)

Want one for your station?  It's up on GitHub: https://github.com/spyderboy/WYEP-Alexa-Skill
