Guess what’s coming to Castopod?!! 🤫

In my podcast feed is it important to have this tag:

<podcast:id platform="podcastindex" id="1330001" />

I'm figuring out how to change the template on my Wordpress site (in advance of the plugin maker fixing stuff) and I"m wondering if it matters whether I ID my feed to podcast index or not.

@mitch There is the "podcasts/trending" endpoint that is not documented yet because it's new:

https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/podcasts/trending?pretty

Here's the full discussion on it:

https://podcastindex.social/web/statuses/105227232733987704

New endpoint: "podcasts/bytag"

https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/podcasts/bytag?value&pretty

For now, the only tag it searches for is "podcast:value" since that's what I was needing first.

I'll be adding others so that we can quickly do a search for which podcasts have certain "podcast" namespace tags in them. After those underlying calls are in place we can do stats on them.

The syntax will be "namespace-tagname" as the parameter.

I know there are a few undocumented endpoints right now. I'll be putting them in the docs as soon as I'm sure they are stable. Like "podcasts/trending" seems fine. I'll document it this weekend.

@dave @martin @adam @drunkplato

Dave, here you go:

@adam @Marshcasr absolutely! The credits tag could easily perform two functions if done right. Facilitating the automatic sharing of the value amongst people, and also enabling a proper search by credit. It is appalling how little of a song’s metadata the mainstream streaming services currently bother to make use of. So it simply isn’t possible to search their archive yet by producer etc. They deserve some disruption!

(Or we can switch to other /something if it’ll be too crowded or if we need to look at my Xeon PC)

@CSB

The first podcast to use the <podcast:soundbite> tag with a title has been added to Podverse 🎉

We now have over 90000 soundbites in our database thanks to BuzzSprout, but soundbites only get featured on our home page if they have a title. The "Dudes And Dads Podcast" is the first podcast we know of to use the soundbite title attribute.

@jamescridland If there is room in the tech section of Podnews in the near future could you put a blurb in directing parties who implement the new tags to add themselves to the element-support list on the GitHub repo? I’m pulling from that when adding to the new public “apps” page on the site:

https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/docs/element-support.md

The list is growing at a good clip now. 😊

@dave think free Sonos.

Room by room, full audio sync, fits on a pi.

There are extensions for podcast plugins. (https://github.com/tkem/mopidy-podcast)

Need to look, but family and work are to full on :(

Will take a look when I can.

It sounds ideal for open source Sonos-without-the-Spotify podcast freedom (!)

And perfect for the future of Foss podcast in-yr-house radio with the index...

Archive.org podcast feed dump has been updated:

23 days later and no feedback from apple on my podcast. Case number 20000060697548. can someone please help me? still not indexed.

I've got captions!

I had to take out a $100 year's subscription to Otter (for help transcribing legal stuff) and so I've also fed a couple of my podcasts through it, hand edited my XML and Podfriend is working!

Podverse is now syncing with the Podcast Index 🎉 thanks to PI our database has grown from 90,000 podcasts to over 1.3 million! @adam @dave

Episode/Person search:

https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/search/episodes/byterm?q=adam+curry&pretty

https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/search/episodes/byterm?q=benjamin+bellamy&pretty

https://api.podcastindex.org/api/1.0/search/episodes/byterm?q=james+cridland&pretty

The plumbing is done. It's just fine tuning the indexer to get the results to be what we want. I'm happy with it so far. Comments needed.

@dave Actually, for these platforms, as they are not “podcasting” platforms (they don’t read RSS feeds), these are not published with the podcast:id tag but with the podcast:social tag.
Eventually, when @Castopod has implemented ActivityPub (very soon) connections will be seamless!
