This class can generate JSON from podcast feeds to serve players.

It can retrieves and parse the XML definitions of a given list of podcast feeds.

The class can generate and serve JSON output suitable to be handled by JavaScript on the browser side that can retrieve the podcast audio and play it.

Prize: One book of choice by Packt		 RSS feeds are often used to provide information about audio and video clips of play lists that you may want to listen or watch in a browser.

On the browser side the players are often controlled using JavaScript code. So the RSS feeds need to be parsed to extract the relevant information to be passed to the player in order to play a given play list.

This class simplifies that task by retrieving a given RSS feed, parse it to extract the play list clip information, and generates JSON data that is easier to process by the JavaScript player code on the browser side.

My old HolzCast Podcast Player is now SalamCast Player...

I'm sure you're wondering what's the difference?

Well the HolzCast podcast player is a javascript/jQuery only plugin that just delt with the RSS format,
all feeds had to be local files or localdomain resources; SalamCast Podcast Player uses PHP to download podcasts
from a remote server so content can be played on your web server and the jQuery Plugin will parse the podcast
XML namespace, and will eventually have ATOM XML namespace support.


The Demo will have some podcast configured to show you how it works with feeds you have no control over.

I have added a few supprise podcast heardoc configs in the code, check it out to find other podcast selections
that you can play.  Search through iTunes for more podcast to play.
