I know nostr:npub1f49twdlzlw667r74jz6t06xxlemd8gp2j7g77l76easpl8jsltvqvlzpez had issues adding some stuff with castopod which is sad because they've been here since the beginning.
A few of us tried it early on but it's was ready so we moved on.

Yeah I remember him saying he had problems and is now totally DIY, I’m a long way off that skills wise, mostly the new language I think, still don’t understand many of the terms used.
Has anyone you’re aware of done a super basic beginners guide to RSS? I’m going to search myself but asking in case you know of something good I might not find.
Have you looked at sovereignfeeds.com ? You can upload the audio/image files to your server and then use that tool to generate an xml file (podcast feed) with links to those audio/image filles it's very handy. You then upload that xml file to your server and enter the url to it in the indexes.
Try it out, download the xml file and inspect it, test in feed validators, it's a great way to learn!
This is how I feel learn Nostr terms so you're not alone.
This is a good start.

This also goes over musicsideproject.com and shows where the stuff is in the feeds.
This is also why I tell people using a host is also fine.
We have found that podhome.fm has all the features we need so far and is pretty easy to understand. It also helps that the community has a direct line to the owner for support.
To be more clear on terminology, I should have prob said...
They SUPPORT all the TAGS we want to utilize in OUR FEEDS.
And if you are kissing any tags, let us know, and we can support them. We are very flexible
I also need to kiss the tags? May explain why I’ve been struggling… 😀
Oh man. Autocorrect 😂 “missing” any tags
Yeah so castapod gives you the ability to add "custom rss." Not sure if that's called exactly that. But you can paste in a xml snippet.
You can do this at the podcast level or the episode level.
So you can start by finding a valid RSS feed, copy their
For this, it worked.
This is why we just use sovereignfeeds.com to make feeds and host them wherever.
You could probably build a dummy feed here and just copy the value block info.
He has one address in there already and splits are just multiple but with a % for the split.
Ahhh yes, I use Podping on there, funny I did play with it more when I was using PeerTube but there seemed to be no way to add the RSS code to PeerTube…
SF is the standard and a nice balance between a host and just copy/pasting pieces from other peoples feeds.
I haven't used it because I only need simple test feeds so it was easier to just do it from the DeMu template at the time.
