WebShow Module for the XOOPS Content Management System

The WebShow module for the XOOPS content management system will catalog, syndicate and play Flash media files, directories and web feeds. WebShow is also a web feed generator that will read and filter a media directory, generate an XSPF playlist and publish a web feed link button for syndication.

Usage

Webmasters can use WebShow as a presentation module to display copyright approved audio (mp3), videos (flv), animations (swf) and image (jpg, gif, png) slide shows with music. Webcasters can archive, show and generate webfeeds of their podcast - vodcast library. Educators could use WebShow to create an online multimedia lesson and notify students using web feed syndication.

Musicians, video producers and graphic artists can catalog, display and syndicate samples of their creative works. Indie Music sites can promote bands by genre, give each band a full web page, billboard specific acts and distribute multimedia files and playlists.  Perfect for Creative Commons licensed acts.
