Podverse Alpha update
It's a little ironic that LLM advancements have created even more work for me...but it has unlocked the potential to add many improvements that I simply would not have found the time to complete without it.
One example: I've added the ability to mass generate valid Podcasting 2.0 RSS feeds for test purposes into the nextgen repo. This work would have been way too tedious for me to prioritize before the recent LLMs, but now takes about a day to complete.

Podverse Alpha update 🛠️
We are nearly ready to implement V4V in Podverse Alpha web...and I am completely out-of-date in terms of what the current practices are.
Can anyone direct me to resources I should follow for a web-based Bitcoin V4V implementation? Is the standard still keysend? Are there multiple types of implementations we should support by now?
-
@leanderlindahl Maybe Podverse is what you're looking for? https://podverse.fm/about It's already fediverse-ready.
There's also the federated Castopod platform to parallel UP, https://castopod.org/ Not quite Mastodon, but compatible through ActivityPub.
-
Podverse Alpha Update 🛠️
Added multiple Language support to the website.
This is one of my favorite features in Nextgen so far...we write a root language file in English, then before deploying, we use LLM to automatically translate the file into other languages, so it's effortless to add support for as many languages as we want.
We also have an "overrides" file for each language, so if LLM gives us funky translations, we can replace them as needed.

Podverse Alpha Update 🛠️
Push notifications have been added to Podverse Alpha web.
Listeners can configure 3 different types of notifications:
- New item (episode or music track)
- Livestream scheduled
- Livestream startedThey can also set different settings for different feeds.
This was a lot of work to add. The code includes not only support for web, but an orchestrator to send notifications to also iOS and Android (when the mobile app is ready).

Hey ios people, which is FOR YOU the best open source IOS podcast app? I love using @AntennaPod for Android, and these are the 2 recommend apps from them:
#pocketcasts and #podverseWanna help someone changing that.... and tomorrow is the first https://di.day

Podverse Alpha Web update 🛠️
Added the Artists and Artist page.
This is our first implementation of Podcasting 2.0 "publisher" feeds.
A "publisher" feed is an RSS feed that contains references to other RSS feeds.
In general, individual Music RSS feeds represent an Album or Track of music.
Publisher feeds allow artists to group all of their Album RSS feeds under their artist name.

Podverse has started maintaining a fork of the Partytime RSS Feed parser library.
Partytime is a comprehensive Node.js RSS podcast feed parser, with support for all Podcasting 2.0 namespaces.
Thank you to @RyanHirsch and @dave for creating the library! The code is easy to work with, and the unit tests are appreciated 😄

Podverse Alpha Web update 🛠️
[5.1.11] - 2025-12-24
Added playlist auto-queue support. When you press the play button on a playlist item, then after the item finishes playing, the next item from the playlist will play.
Enabled repeat and shuffle mode for playlist playback.
Fixed a variety of issues with the queue and auto-queue when pressing the previous track and next track buttons.
Sample playlist: https://alpha.podverse.fm/playlist/4DNEp87yRs
Merry Christmas! 🎄

Podverse Alpha Web update 🛠️
Added the Music Livestreams and Music Livestream pages.
Also added the Repeat and Shuffle buttons to the player.
Reduced some font/image sizes a bit, and applied some fixes for mobile layouts.
Coming soon: auto-play next behavior for Playlists, remember last repeat/shuffle setting on page load, and Artist pages.
-
🛠️ Podverse Alpha Update 🛠️
IT'S A BIG ONE
Started to add the Albums, Album, Tracks, and Track pages for Music playback.
The UX also splits the Queue, History, and Playlist into Podcasts and Music.
Any feedback or suggestions for improvement would be appreciated!
-
Podverse Alpha update
Added a new database table named on_demand_parser_event, which will keep track of when a listener adds a feed to our directory, and help prevent overuse / spamming of our "add feed to directory" feature.
Not an exciting update from a listener's standpoint, but an important step, since we are giving listeners the ability to trigger RSS parsing on our servers in PV2, and that can be a data and resource heavy operation.
-
Podverse Alpha Web progress:
- Redesigned the Subscribe button layout.
- Added a "Podcast Settings" page and a "Check Feed for Updates" button to it. That button lets users manually trigger a feed re-parse in our directory.
- Some misc style improvements for mobile devices.
I did not start on the music pages yet, but that's next on the list.
Changes are not deployed yet. I think I will wait until the music pages are finished before deploying next, possibly Sunday night.

Podverse Alpha Web update
Did a lot of work to improve our server-side RSS parser setup. Fixed a few issues that I think were preventing feeds from updating properly on the alpha website.
Also added improved error logging to the parsers and "dead letter queue" handling.
-
On a better note, here is a work-in-progress gif preview of the Livestreams page I worked on today for Alpha.
Next I need to add a Livestream page, then we can deploy these changes.
Albums and Tracks pages should be finished shortly after. They will basically be copies of the existing Podcasts and Episodes pages, so I'm thinking it'll only take a day.
-
⚠️ Podverse Alpha Update ⚠️
I'm shutting off the Alpha website for the night, as there is a critical security vulnerability with the version of Next.js it is using (CVE-2025-55182).
Should have it redeployed and patched tomorrow.
Good video explaining the CVE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s81dVUM-cQM
Thanks to @suorcd or notifying me.
-
Did an overhaul to our <podcast:medium> handling so that "audio" and "video" podcasts are grouped together as just "podcasts".
So there are only 2 distinct groupings: Podcasts and Music.
I think this will be for the best. Video is still playable within the Podcasts grouping, but keeping them together will hopefully make sense intuitively, and reduce unnecessary fragmentation, and "choice paralysis".
-
RE: https://podcastindex.social/@mitch/115667170369052620
Decided to merge "audio" and "video" into one grouping. Rewriting the API and modules to be able to handle it.
I think the primary groupings listeners will see will be Podcasts and Music.
-
Working on the Livestreams page for Podverse Alpha Web today.
I'm also wondering if the UI should even separate Audio "podcasts" from Video "channels".
Music listening is a distinct experience than a podcast, imo (like the way the media player handles album track order), but I personally listen to a bunch of "video podcasts" without even looking at the screen.
It's also kind of awkward grouping podcasts under "audio" when podcasts can be video. Anyone have thoughts?

#Podverse is working well. Now to figure out how to turn on the syncing. I don't know if it works just yet or if my geriatric phone isn't fast enough, but it restarted the episode I was listening to on the computer from the top. -

Open Podcast API
https://openpodcastapi.org/
¡Qué bueno! Un desarrollo que permitiría a los usuarios sincronizar suscripciones a pódacst, episodios escuchados y posición de escucha entre diferentes aplicaciones.
El software libre tarda, pero llega. ¡Todo mi apoyo como usuario! -
I have a few options from #FDroid.
#podverse looks like a nice tool.
By means of a reccomendation, I've also installed #PocketCasts by #AutomatticInc (makers of Wordpress).
I'll drive them both for a while and bring back some results.
Stay tuned!
[EDIT: #Podverse is out of the race as it's got crypto stuff that I care nothing about.
Instead we're going with @AntennaPod.]

First run through. Podverse seems to be the only one picking up the video options in alternate enclosures. The others are playing the audio in the enclosure. Boosting works on all sites, though the test split is 95% podcast index

@awoodsnet Interesting. I don't know #Podverse and #Castamatic. I've been really happy with #Castro in the past year though, so I see no specific need to migrate at this point. But if I'm ever in the market for a new podcast app I'll keep those in mind.

Anyone knows of podcast client besides #podverse that supports #crossappcomments? Having trouble testing the socialinteract tag with peertube comments.
