Castopod, Albyhub created the snippet of code I needed to add to the RSS and alls well with that but given the format, I don’t understand how to add a contributor as the code generated also ties back to my node. Unfortunately there’s nothing at all in the Castopod docs covering PC2 features, only that they’re enabled.

I need to have a read up but I’ve yet to find an easy to understand source, I’ve looked through the podcastindex resources and some of the Bluburry guides but most of the information goes above my current skill level. I’m sure I’m able to do it, just not there yet!

I’ve been using this as reference:

https://podcasting2.org/docs/podcast-namespace/tags/value-recipient

And then once I’ve made that bit, in Castopod as nostr:npub1f49twdlzlw667r74jz6t06xxlemd8gp2j7g77l76easpl8jsltvqvlzpez has said, there’s a box to copy and paste it into either in “edit podcast” if you want it to apply to every episode, or “edit episode” if it changes each episode. It’s called “additional RSS tags”.

Currently, you value block looks like this:

Say your manager, George, in his endless generosity suggests you add a split for nostr:nprofile1qqszxk6n5yqh67ak2mqjtrd4fgxf2clyenvvafntv5r9n4knmu5ezfcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tc95f6pm and me. 3% each, because of course Merlin and nostr:nprofile1qqs0s64jxjwyxvwq4dzh9rpt808yg4d3v9sez05ywfhul7s4cuef3ksprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnpwdehq6tnw3hkctn0wfnj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpr9mhxue69uhhwmm59e3xzumnwp5hxar0dshx7un89ukr3j0m deserve treats too. Then it would look like this:

Pay attention to the differences in tags and within those, see the values in their respective split="".

Looking at that on my phone it looks correct but you won't know until you updated the feed and push it to production.

When/if you do just let us know and we can send some Boosts. You have one so adding others isn't much different.

I’ll give that a try once I figure out what the hell is going wrong with Nextcloud now, thanks!!

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!

sovereign feeds? sounds like my kind of dinner table , except here we serve pixels on lightning platters instead of podcasts. xml is just canvas

I've tried sovereign feeds and would recommend as well.

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

I thought that’s what you meant but I’ll try kissing them anyway, need all the luck I can get. 😂

You do have to show it some love and encourage it. It is trying to help you share your content with the world after all.

It works with plants, why not RSS.

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 block, modify it for your node or lnaddress, and then just paste it in.

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.
