:: New Audio Broadcast
Weather Display (the software that "powers" lakevilleweather.com) can utilize text-to-voice technology to produce an audio file of whatever weather data you want. I have added the feature to the website now, and it updates every 10 minutes. It's pretty cool! Look for your plugin's player to show up below the current conditions area on the home page. Right now file size is running about 1.0-1.5 MB depending on the length of the forecast text. That is causing some up load probs, as I think WD's FTP protocol likes to "rush" the upload batch along (the audio file is about one of 50 or so files that gets created and uploaded by the server every 5 minutes). So unfortunately, there are some times when the broadcast gets "cut off" before it is done.
Next step is to "stream" the file rather than just embed it. From my research, embeding plugin media is old-school, and never was very stable to begin with in many browser environments. In the meantime, enjoy the new "voice" of lakevilleweather.com!!
