The WebShow module for the XOOPS content management system combines a MyLinks directory with Jeroen Wijering's JW Media Player to catalog and play Flash media files, directories and webfeeds. 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.

Musicians, video producers and graphic artists can catalog, display and syndicate samples of their creative works.

Indie Music sites can promote bands by genre/location, give each band a full web page, billboard specific acts and distribute multimedia playlists.  Perfect for Creative Commons licensed acts.

Educators could use WebShow to create an online multimedia lesson or tutorial.

Webcasters can archive, show and generate webfeeds of their podcast - vodcast library. The module can also be used as a multimedia web feed catcher.
