Well, people using DriveCast and reading this blog already know we want to help you to get the best content from Internet to a device of your choice, be it a mobile media player or your car infotainment system.

Now thanks to the new Internet enabled television set from Philips, you can listen and watch your DriveCast Library seated on your couch using the standard remote control.

Below an handmade video directly shot on a Philips Net TV, to show all the features of our service.

P.S.
More TV brands will be supported soon.

MultiMedia WebRecorder (MMWR for short) is the Firefox Add-On developed by some of the same programmers behind the DriveCast project, that allows the “personal recording” of what you listen or watch on the web.

Now MMWR becomes an official Firefox Add-on, available at the page: https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/8818. You can choose if you prefer to use the “Offical” version validated and tested by the Firefox AMO reviewers, or to continue to use the ”Lab” version with the latest updates from the DriveCast team.

A big thanks goes to the Firefox AMO reviewers, for helping us to iron-out the the detail about compatibility with all the other Firefox Add-ons and the rule of good-behaviour for the code in the great Firefox house.

Thanks to all the suggestion sent us by the many user, we think we have identified the best compromise beetwen the need for speed (with low file sizes) and the quality of the audio for the radio recording.

From now on all the radio recordings done by DriveCast will be mp3 at 128 Kbit/sec, joint stereo sampled at 44.1 Khz. Up to now, recording in mono, we were honestly just optimized for the talk radio, and we hope this will make happy the many of you who need to record other kinds of stream.
