It's a static site generator written in Python. Posts and pages can be written in ReST, Markdown and a couple of other markup format and your site can deployed anywhere (even GH pages) without the need for PHP, Python, a database or anything. Nikola supports shortcodes, which make it easy to embed media like audio and video files. You can also define your own shortcodes very easily with a short Python plugin file or a template snippet. I wrote a simple shortcode to embed an audio file with a simple HTML 5 <audio> element, with no JS-based player: https://gist.github.com/SpotlightKid/70f3ccdfacd9cfb091941a91f349924f I also wrote another plugin, which uses the Noembed service (http://noembed.com) to embed content from sites like Soundcloud or Github: https://gist.github.com/94b3e9c7cfac467ff920d09efe601e0e You can see both plugins in action here: https://chrisarndt.de/posts/article/764/ For the upcoming podcast site, I plan to host audio on archive.org (for content with open licenses only), since then I don't have to worry about bandwidth. I wrote another Nikola plugin to embed the archive.org audio player, which I submitted to the Nikola plugin repository, but the PR is closed, because I want to rework the plugin a bit: https://github.com/getnikola/plugins/pull/125 HTH, Chris

stephen.doonan(a)gmail.com wrote: Hi Steve, Along with the other solutions mentioned, I'm writing in case you're interesting in rolling your own. I run dynamic sites hosting audio and video files that generate the listing when the HTTP request is received. The code generates an HTML5 snippet like this for each file: <audio controls><source src="/audio/segment1/segment1/Three blind mice.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio> The listing then gets wrapped in a template file and served. Files written in markdown also get wrapped and served. This is using the perl Dancer framework (originally based on Django, a framework written in Ruby.) I happen to need dynamic code for authentication and access control, but the overhead for starting the interpreter and loading libraries means that the response is rather slow. Generating static HTML pages might prefererable for you. Let me know if you'd like me to throw some code your way, perhaps it will stick to the wall ;-) Cheers, -- Joel Roth
