+Title: CasparCG Server for TV broadcast playout in Debian
+Tags: english, video, frikanalen, multimedia
+Date: 2019-01-15 00:10
+
+<p>The layered video playout server created by Sveriges Television,
+<a href="https://casparcg.com/">CasparCG Server</a>, entered Debian
+today.  This completes many months of work to get the source ready to
+go into Debian.  The first upload to the Debian NEW queue happened a
+month ago, but the work upstream to prepare it for Debian started more
+than two and a half month ago.  So far
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/casparcg-server">the
+casparcg-server package</a> is only available for amd64, but I hope
+this can be improved.  The package is in contrib because it depend on
+the <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fdk-aac">non-free fdk-aac
+library</a>.  The Debian package lack support for streaming web pages
+because Debian is missing CEF, Chromium Embedded Framework.  CEF is
+wanted by several packages in Debian.  But because the Chromium source
+is <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/893448">not available as a build
+dependency</a>, it is not yet possible to upload CEF to Debian.  I
+hope this will change in the future.</p>
+
+<p>The reason I got involved is that
+<a href="https://frikanalen.no/">the Norwegian open channel
+Frikanalen</a> is starting to use CasparCG for our HD playout, and I
+would like to have all the free software tools we use to run the TV
+channel available as packages from the Debian project.  The last
+remaining piece in the puzzle is Open Broadcast Encoder, but it depend
+on quite a lot of patched libraries which would have to be included in
+Debian first.</p>
