PEX - Program Exchange Module
The Program Exchange (PEX) Module allows groups of OpenBroadcaster media files to be managed as collections, such as an album as a collection of tracks, or a radio program as a series of weekly episodes. PEX "Programs" are collections of OB media files (episodes) that share production details (metadata) and cover art (placards). PEX is the OpenBroadcaster module for creating "Programs" and associating media files (episodes and placards) from the OB Catalogue. This module may be added to any existing OpenBroadcaster Server installation (Ver 4+).
PEX includes a separate Gallery module for interactive filtering(search/browse) of media by program/album, or by most recent episode in a series. The Gallery module facilitates redistribution of multiple episodes of a program in a single download package and dynamic scheduling of the most recent episode in a series. Distinct user permissions are defined for administrative access to the Program Manager, or view only access thru the Gallery.
The OB API is enhanced to provide hooks into OB PEX data for use in development of Drupal modules or similar web front ends. OB Players may be defined to distribute PEX media in themed content streams.
OB PEX Enhancements currently in development:
- Aggregate media as program/episode (~ album/track)
- Additional metadata fields (recording date, recording location, topicality, credits, track list)
- PAL (Parental Advisory Label) for media content
- CanCon for track list selection
- Media download link (image/alt text) via API
- List of recent uploads via API
- Download counts (by program/series/episode) via API
