Last Notes npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…td70 @nprofile…8zna I design my own we have a block editor newsletter system inside both the client side of PodToo and the administrator side of our platform. It allows our customers to basically do what MailChimp can do but with their podcast all in one. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…8zna that’s interesting, because we are looking at launching our monthly newsletter report for our clients and I was thinking the same thing. But then I thought - pretty colors. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…td70 what is the user-agent please. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…sk9g it’s outdated. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…dffe @nprofile…td70 let us know what’s involved. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…w0mx @nprofile…7qe4 @nprofile…8zna true on that one I am sadly a Mac fan boy… don’t ask me why. We have windows in the office but I dislike so much. And Linux is great for me, have a Ubuntu computer and all, but still go to my Mac more than my Linux just because it’s got everything I need including Xcode. I am not a fan of Android partner loves Android. Thank you for the suggestion I’ll take a look. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ I like @nprofile…7qe4 browser. But recently been starting to dislike it. Seems to always have an issue with apples password management software. Is there any browsers that users use on the Mac that is better and works great with Apple Password manager? @nprofile…w0mx (I think you use a Mac?) @nprofile…8zna (maybe you have suggestions?) I don’t want to use Google Chrome and dislike Firefox (Firefox use to be great) npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7epg @nprofile…dffe @nprofile…w0mx so are we saying that Russia then has the right to take Ukraine - based on that logic. No country should take another country resources. China is watching very closely and this risks a regional escalation in other parts of the globe. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…r5z7 clear your emails lol new year new you 😂 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…pnt8 @nprofile…y5nd @nprofile…r5z7 I have screenshotted and sent it to him. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…y5nd hope you had a wonderful Christmas. How’s the truck coming along? npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Merry Christmas 🎄 May your holidays be one of joy and happiness. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…r5z7 @nprofile…wsp3 @nprofile…ge5x @nprofile…glz5 I think the protection social media companies have in USA, speak clearly why all the technology companies set up in America. It’s not just social network sites it’s search engines, hosting companies etc. America has done so well in supporting technology startups, something other countries have not. It’s also a numbers game, more prone in America than almost anywhere else. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…y5nd am just brought myself a few GPU for our AI software. But your ai spam thinking is a good solution I think. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…ge5x @nprofile…pnt8 @nprofile…9ap7 @nprofile…5yxp @nprofile…0wwy so with most well known VPN companies, they label the IP as VPN. We don’t block them. But we do have what we call threat levels = high. Which are data centers and we do block them, currently we block a number of data centers because of spam. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…pnt8 @nprofile…5yxp @nprofile…ge5x 100% but we can detect VPN connections and let people in to access the content. I get blocking VPN for like banks and that. But for podcasts it makes no sense what so ever. Unless you’re serving ads. There must be a reason why Buzzsprout is asking Cloudflare to block VPNs. Would love to know why @nprofile…v884 can you ask them and report it in PodNews weekly as it’s affecting more than your podcast and means lower listeners. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…5yxp @nprofile…ge5x I had the same issues, seemed it was a cloudflare issue, I switch to a VPN and then it worked. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…ge5x the joys, when I went to sysadmin 101 they said no updates allowed on a production box. You may break everything. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…9ap7 @nprofile…ge5x they had a lot of rerouting happening atm. Some users affected. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…y5nd oh i know that feeling. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…fhrz they have another festival this weekend (LA) time. Lots of fresh mixes coming. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…fhrz the app uses PodToo for all their on-demand shows. But no I did not build the app. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Day 1 of Dreamstate SoCal done and in the bag, so many great DJs mixing it up. Who will be taking the stage tomorrow? Only one place to find out download the Insomniac Radio app on iOS and Android today. iOS link: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/insomniac-radio/id6739225590 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…y5nd out of interest, you mentioned that your getting duplicate shows with same test file for example. Could you note scan and say oh title of podcast same, author same, file size of episode same, but this feed is newer so we delete the older feed with the same info or replace it? npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…5yxp but maybe skip the boring parts. @nprofile…amf2 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…amf2 some podcast apps do download correct, but most users will open an app and hit play and some people fast forward the ads (we know who they are) 😂 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…9ap7 have a look at multi-CDN solutions you can build one using bunny.net, Fastly and Cloudflare powered by PowerDNS. I am doing my research on it now for our PodToo Cloud services as I am interested in just how can we prevent outages from global CDN providers when one goes down, there must be away (and there is) to hope to another CDN/Proxy provider. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ So Cloudflare says it was there not management system that caused the outage. https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/115/573/438/356/780/004/original/ab4f727eb3a031ea.jpeg npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Gee what happened to the sunny ☀️ Brisbane. Has to be one of the heaviest rainfalls I’ve seen in a few months. // @nprofile…ge5x your power back on? https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/115/448/528/022/749/784/original/9971d688b4d52353.jpeg npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…2d4u does video work on iOS version of fountain, because I keep getting this error https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/957/181/486/921/507/original/20252d035c75387c.jpeg npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…h82d its all good now, but I need to think about long term and how we can make sure that we have a primary server and a secondary server for our PostgreSQL I don't know if that is possible. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ I hate live server migrations. We nearly lost our database that store all our users login information tonight. I luckily had the skill to go back in time and look for the correct docker image. I didn’t panic and I trouble shooted. Our login system was down for 1 hour while I trouble shooted it. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…vu32 mad money (but that’s not V4V) npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…h82d honestly lately it feels like I’ve been going 24/7. But that’s the wonderfully thing about loving what I do. I love solving problems and yes I think it’s an addiction 😂 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ #SecretProject Well it’s not that secret anymore. PodToo has launched SongRotate aimed at supporting musicians get heard on radio stations around the world. Why PodToo? We already have a database of radio stations using PodToo and our services we are in the best position to help creators reach the decision makers and who are looking fire talented artists. If your an artist visit https://songrotate.com and signup today. #musicians #radio #music https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/624/866/939/897/933/original/49ca61deb9c5283f.png npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…5pjr @nprofile…h82d awesome ☺️ npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…5pjr @nprofile…h82d are you filtering out the information to your clients? One thing we are doing is we are not doing retention that part was a little easier for us. We are doing exactly what part of the audio the client side is playing at the current time. We even check what time we got the request coming in for the next byte vs when we should have gotten it in by the end user. Means we are able to do down to 3 seconds of play time. Which was the goal of podcast performance GitHub. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ So I did a little test of our podcast episode performance technology, and have to say I am bloody impressed with how good the data truly is. I really didn’t know if this would work, and wow the data is really interesting. I truely have to thank @nprofile…h82d for giving me the idea - he might not know it, but it was his talk about HLS and first party data that made me revisit this idea how can we get data without begging the players. We only show data that has over 50% completion. https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/619/883/444/141/022/original/6952d167f80ba9e9.png npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram thanks Sam always nice to be ahead of the class 😂 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…zn42 i am wondering if you could introduce me to any musicians by any chance. Am in an accelerator program and with 3 weeks left I need to show artists want music over RSS. So any introduction would be great. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ 4 hours sleep, new product rollout today with a few small improvements to do. Well today will be fun and Russell will most likely be a grumpy bum. If you have any great podcasts that will make a tired Russell laugh it would be highly welcomed. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 PodToo has surpassed 500,000 downloads to podcast apps and streamed content to radio stations. Huge thanks to all the creators and app developers who are changing the way podcast and radio shows are enjoyed. https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/534/084/373/401/255/original/cc776016fa95c484.jpg npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…2d4u @nprofile…s2q5 @nprofile…zn42 @nprofile…h82d have not listened to the episode yet. But again I hear that people are not recognising people who actually did things first. Well I’ll celebrate Sam and myself, as we developed it first and was first to market. But it’s not even about that, we have been pushing for this for months we even shared documentation about how to do it with Oscar and others. So welcome to the secureRSS party. Better late than never 😂 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ can anyone suggest a better analytics tool than Google, I am finding it lacks information that the old version had. Maybe I am missing something. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…094t @nprofile…2d4u @nprofile…ye27 @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…23qx awesome why is it not listed on podcast index. 😂 I’ll add your logo to our pitch deck as I have a large creator wanting to know how many video podcast players there are. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…6746 @nprofile…2d4u @nprofile…094t @nprofile…ye27 @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…23qx great can we get the podcast index listing updated for them plz npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Podcast app developers @nprofile…2d4u @nprofile…094t @nprofile…ye27 please support video. According to Podcastindex.org we only have 3 apps that support video and with this supposedly big push into video we need more apps to support it. Well done to @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…23qx and Digilore #podcastapps https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/498/036/062/286/929/original/8d23ed463132aef7.png npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…n7gm @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…mg8l my Apple ID is [email protected] Cheers thanks npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…j90y just wondering for Apple Podcast, are you putting your chapters in the IDv3 section of your mp3 files? if so, is that at editing stage or do you have a software that does it for you? reason, we are looking at if we need to re-encode mp3 files that utilise the PodToo Chapters tool, as we noticed that Apple didn't pick up the chapters JSON file. Thought I would ask you, since your chapters work. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…n7gm @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…mg8l can I be a test user if it works on iOS please. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…n7gm @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…mg8l thank you npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…mg8l I added chapters in this rss https://feed.podtoo.com/distro/67dMcJ_s for the latest show Simmo's back and it's about bloody time! I also podping it, however no app that has chapters is showing it including the Podcastindex.org website. I am wondering if you could tell me why it might not be working please. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Ok, really need a better service than Riverside please, the lag was that bad that we can't even use any of the recordings that we just did. I am wondering if anyone has any other suggestions please: - Software we can run on our own server? - Other Recording tools that are Australian or Asia based Otherwise I might be forced to make our own video guest/recording software. @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…j90y @nprofile…3ram npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ We are working on implementing direct player integration. This will allow our creators to verify ownership of the podcast and in return we get the direct URL where listeners can subscribe to the show. This allows us to then list all players that have an open API for hosting providers to submit new shows in return we ask for the URL where fans can listen. Allowing fans to then subscribe on the player they want. @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…2d4u @nprofile…23qx @nprofile…ye27 https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/409/951/117/366/234/original/ed36a44f13334a53.png npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…g5pf the market and the creators are saying otherwise. 😀 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…ywdy @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…xf7c @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…j90y John, nearly all podcast hosting provider charges for advance analytics. So I have to side on the side of business and making applications profitable. All this infrastructure costs money, look at @nprofile…3ram and Truefans, servers + cloudflare + developers that equals real money and if selling this data to hosting companies helps pay his bill then I say we should pay for the data if it’s that’s important. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Happy Easter 🐣 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…mg8l I’ll have to check npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…mg8l nope it just auto updated and disabled my plugins. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ So it's official Chrome has deactivated AdBlockers, I just updated my ARC browser and no longer does my uBlock work :( As I really liked there browser, I am now using @nprofile…g72h but it feel unpolished - I guess it is a beta npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…vu32 https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-google-recaptcha-v3 We use that plugin. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…vu32 I use v3 I believe. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…vu32 and everything works? As for your captcha issue hate to say it but recaptcha by Google is the best in my view. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…vu32 how did you go? npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…vu32 so if you signed up for mailing you need to add those That pictured in your post to your domain DNS provider. Who do you host with happy to help point you to a hope to add cname for that provider. Each mailing gets their own cname records you can’t use podcast index mailing server unless they add you onto their sender list. At least that’s how sendgrid work - @nprofile…h82d am I understanding correctly? npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…326g @nprofile…7xwn we just do {{CDCOVERhttp://URLtoCOVER{{FEEDGUID56q7828... while yes it make the now playing information long it is easy for an app to read it via the icecast metadata and then strip it and use {{CDCOVER where they want it etc. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn I am just trying to see how this can work for people outside of TSK, as just like what we do it's kinda a closed off system that if something happened to you it all stops working. One thing we I would hope we can do is move away from a single point of failure if possible. I think we had this chat around what if the domain expires etc etc 😀 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…326g @nprofile…cguj I understrand that it is "if the artist is using TSK" but if they are not can a service like Wavelak or us use SplitKitMeta and instead use feedGuid and itemGuid? npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…326g @nprofile…cguj How would that work if say an artist gives a mp3 to a station who using TSK? because that artists has given the mp3 directly to the station or creator on the provision that they get v4v? can you tell me how it gets these GUIDs? SplitKitMeta: {eventGuid:89317989-ab52-4c16-95db-d5f6fb35238c, blockGuid:94097c79-3f39-4d15-b273-b96545ffef3a} npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…326g @nprofile…cguj can you email or provide a mp3 so I can see how you are ID3 encoding it please. :) npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…326g @nprofile…cguj Totally get that, but what if that content is not coming from TSK? I am trying to work out how your system could work with our new product SongRotate as some musicians will want to allow creators to play their music. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…326g @nprofile…cguj So radio stations already send out now playing information, artists + song. why could we not just use a lookup table and a socket.io or something to do a quick watch and get data and then send the event? why does it need to be in the mp3 file? Sorry just trying to understand this, as you will run into huge issues with broadcast software like Myraid, RSC & Jazler. All of them we currently work with to bring streaming syndicated radio shows. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…326g @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…cguj what is TSK? Interested in having a look. We work with azuracast and Sam broadcasters. Maybe it would be a simple adjustment of the liquidsoap script. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…2802 @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…2d4u I would assume that is one advantage but we don’t do add insertion atm. All am interested in is getting our stats to be the best they can be, we can all play a roll in making stats more accurate and genuine. As we all say downloads don’t matter any more. So we need to move away from just counting requests. This is one method that the big players already do. And because each season or request of an episode is a different hash it anonymous. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram you could achieve this by proxying all the enclosures in an api route that then sends the mp3 back to the audio player. The api proxy would request the file and add the header fields on that request. This is how you could also do user-agent in web browsers. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn interesting question, why not just upload the Podcast XML to IPFS that is as decentralised as one can get. It’s able to be ran on anyone’s computer and I believe https://ipfspodcasting.net already exists. Best of all you can get a normal domain and point it to many IPFS servers to fetch the content. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Would really love if the #PodcastIndex could ask players to support `x-playback-session-id` header, this is a UUID random for a session. This allows us to know if a person on a CGNAT network (IP changes per request) is listening and what they are listening too. Apple Podcast and Spotify both support this. We still don't know WHO the person is, but we can say that it is 1 person not 60 people.

There no to little quality content on the Home Screen. Just Mr Ramsey doing Hell’s Kitchen out takes and bloopers to stupid people making mistakes. (Note am not login to YouTube on my TV) Why do so many people sit watching YouTube for hours? What’s the value? npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…ayy4 @nprofile…h82d really not a bad idea. And I would support this. But is archive the word we want to use. Maybe just podcast:more ? Just because I don’t want people to think these episodes in those xml files are less important or interesting. Think evergreen content. Just an idea. But a tag is a tag as long as it’s clear what it does. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…pvn3 @nprofile…h82d am super confused but all that. And I code. 🧑💻 npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…ayy4 @nprofile…h82d there is a rss solution to this. We could have a tag that allows older episodes to be in a separate XML file. It keeps the latest episodes in the main feed and only podcast 2.0 apps get access to older episodes. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…kmnl Sam you know I love what you are doing. I worry about you tech stack. You have so many plugins that you’re going to have to manage. I would recommend going over all the tools you use and check to see if another tool can be used that you already use instead of adding another tool. For example you could use WebSocket instead of XXMP you always use WebSocket and it makes a good realtime chat system. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…fhff thanks for that :) This is one of the how to videos I made with it. https://youtu.be/jxfE43_rkas Truely thank you for recommending me to the app. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…fhff really wish they had a windows version, as I am doing how to videos and some of the apps are on Windows. Do you know of an app that is similar by any chance? npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…fhff @nprofile…j90y @nprofile…e94h that was 10x easier to record a how to video than using OBS. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ Can we please give a round of applause to everyone involved in Podcasting Index and the name space. People like: @nprofile…xy55 @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…zn42 @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…zpec @nprofile…j90y @nprofile…2d4u just to name a few. The community has truely achieved some ground breaking things like location, transcripts, person tag and podcast GUID. Not to mention having an open index directory and podping. So let me say from the bottom of my heart ❤️ thank you to everyone npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…fhff @nprofile…j90y @nprofile…e94h I just watch the video (YouTube one) forget where it is hosted for a second, it’s really valid and well made. I want to know what software you ised for the screenshot background 😀 I think after listening to Dave on podcasting 2.0 we do need to be kind (me included). We need organisations like Sounds profitable to focus on the successes like transcripts and advocate for more tag adoption like person tag and location tag. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…j90y @nprofile…fhff @nprofile…e94h Matt if you need a video hosting provider I am happy to give you 12 months free hosting. That way James you get the response in RSS and Matt we will be launching Video to YouTube integration end of next month. This solves in my mind the argument that a creator has to pick. We as hosting provider can spread them everywhere that the creator wants to be. Maybe the discussion needs to be around why no good video player for RSS yet? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram @nprofile…j90y what is PodLove never heard of it. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram p.s your know am the wave that crashed the shoreline ready to rip everything up and build again 😂 Ok maybe not build again but at least question everything so we have a clearer clarification on what is the point of things in the rss if apps do their own thing. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram I Tane it though if we add that chat code to our lit tag you use that instead? Otherwise what’s the point of the tag for chat in lit if apps not going to use it. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ It’s been months that our creators have use @nprofile…2d4u fountain logo and @nprofile…3ram truefans logo on their social media tiles. Our creators are already supporting podcasting 2.0 apps out in the wild. Now we need to work together more. https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/121/624/168/386/398/original/53a37aa7168b5efb.png npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram the issue with live chat Sam is your asking the host to be the live broadcaster so the live chat needs to be an open standard that can be cross comments and hosting providers can provide a JSON or xml of it for the broadcast software like OSB. This is what I believe twitch and streamyard can do. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…j90y @nprofile…3ram mp3, mp4 & m4a I believe have chapters and James is right smart podcast players will fetch them if they have them. It would mean one less tag needed in RSS as well to be honest. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram I was thinking you might go one step further and say oh your podcast episode doesn’t have transcript tag so here is a podcast host that can do it for you. You know I like what you do. Just remember your investors are interested in listeners side and the earning opportunity not the hey that podcast host your with does do this tag so switch. Unless your strategy is to earn an affiliate fee for each referral sign up I don’t see the reason to promote other hosts. IMO. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…3ram but sometimes it’s the creator not wanting to upgrade their package to include those features Sam. I think you might piss a few hosting companies off who offer it but as a paid extra. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…xy55 also I am not saying that those numbers are the numbers we use, as it's more complicated for every platform depending on the creator, we do audiobooks and Kobo for example needs different artwork specs. Banners are messy and it's why I am of the opinion it should really be a manual thing that the creator does on the players platform where possible. We can offer a few versions by default in RSS, but we can't cater for everyones custom UI design needs. npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…xy55 Thanks for helping me understand your thought. The issue I see and it's a technical one is we support all different banners from Apple TV banner specs to Youtube banner Specs to even custom specs from podcast players and platforms already (they just have to ask). What we do is give them a guide like this, we save design 1 jpg and as long as you design in this it will work on most apps + TV. This allows us to keep it as 1 image file, then we can crop it into those. https://cdn.masto.host/podcastindexsocial/media_attachments/files/114/118/128/762/155/629/original/396441e3789d34e7.webp npub15sldfw7fp38awgwthn5cd5nuvqchg49sjj7z3dwfvlwyjdl5xens0nsrp6 Russell Harrower 🎙️ @nprofile…7xwn @nprofile…h82d @nprofile…xy55 feels like it’s the boys club instead of the community club. Not trying to be a dick. But the images and banner tags already work and are in the wild. Really sad and disappointing to see that leaders in this community seem to not see what others are doing and go. Oh that works let’s just adopt. It’s not about ego it’s about making it work.
