Well, we finally have a nice rotation of videos and shows to play on Celtic Radio TV. For now, it is limited - probably about 7-8 hours of videos. We will continue to expand this as musicians provide us with more and more content.

For now, we are using a format that is part of AOL's Nullsoft unit. Eventually we are going to transition this to a windows media server which will increase the quality by a bunch. Probably not until 2007.

Hey Paul.

Do you have a list of the artists that are having their videos played on Celtic Radio TV? What I have watched, I have enjoyed. Thanks for this neat new service!

Well, we are pleased to inform everyone that after a few bumps in the road, we now have Celtic Radio TV back up and running.

I can not under-estimate the amount of time we spent creating this service. There is a great deal of work involved in converting the video over to our priority NSV format for streaming. We literally have been working on this since June and have worked all of the kinks out these past 2 weeks.

Right now we are playing groups from Barleyjuice, to Mark Saul, The Wimshurst's Machine, some full length music/dance shows and some travel video clips.

We developed our own back-end tagging system (database) to display all relevant information about what is playing currently. Right now though, we do not have a published playlist.

Give it a try through the following link:
