A new release of CastCluster (look in the "about" sidebar for the link to launch with Web Start):
- you can now see more descriptive information about the stuff in your playlists.
- you are no longer required to have your own Youtube developer ID
I made a screencast to show you how I use CastCluster:
(I'm embedding the revver version because it seems like it's a little higher quality than youtube or google)
watch on google video
watch on revver
watch on youtube - (slowest upload process of the three, by far)
Bookmark keys - Firefox extension for assigning keyboard shortcuts to your bookmark tool bar items (including bookmarklets!).

This is such a great idea! I'd like to use it, but when iTunes tries to access the feed, it gets an error.
This is what I get from the link
http://localhost:8080/castcluster/PlayList.action?playListId=what&feed=feed
HTTP ERROR: 500
net.chowda.castcluster.util.CorruptFeedException: com.sun.syndication.io.FeedException: Invalid rss_2.0 feed, missing channel description
RequestURI=/castcluster/PlayList.action
Caused by:

[I'll leave out the next hundred or so lines]
Thanks for trying it out larsramusson!
If you restart castcluster does the problem persist? Some other people have reported this problem, but I've been having a hard time reproducing it... if you could send the offending playlist to the google group, it would be a big help.
thanks,

This is great, but why limit it to be only useful with iTunes. Neither IE nor Firefox reconize the feed url as an RSS feed.
One of the things that I don't like about AppleTv is its dependency on iTunes, I have hacked it enough to let it run the Files addin, and RSS addin for frontrow.... Would be nice to just install this on AppleTv then use with the RSS plugin
Hey KM, thanks for the feedback!
I'm setting the Content-Type to "application/rss+xml" I'm not sure why the browsers don't pick it up as a feed... maybe because it's coming from localhost... I've created an issue on this: here
you can star that if you want to track progress on it.
CastCluster should work with non-browser podcatchers like Juice and Democracy Player as well.. although I have not tested this.
There is a chance that using CastCluster remotely, like from your hacked appletv box, will work right now... but I'm not sure. I have also logged an issue on this topic as well: here
