[ENHANCEMENT] - Podcast 2.0 namespaces

[rastacalavera]

Hey Matt,

I have been learning a LOT by figuring out how to use your theme, Hugo and git and just want to say a very heart felt thank you.

My podcast took a bit of a break during Covid, but now I am trying to bring it back. I have been listening to various podcasts that are involved in the 2.0 movement and would like to find a way to help incorporate some of the name spaces into your project if you're interested.

I don't think it would be that hard to do, i just can't figure out where to start. I think adding the value tag would be a good first step. I found an old 2015 post from you when you were trying to figure out the RSS generation for Castanet. I looked in the layouts/ folder of Castanet but didn't see any rss.xml file.
EDIT
Found the rss generator file here castanet/layout/section/episode.rss.xml

I think what needs to be done is a base value set using the user's config.toml and then as a per episode option, there could be front matter for the host/guest to include their wallet address in the value tag.

Value tags at the <item> level of the RSS over ride the <channnel> so if a guest/co-host doesn't have a value tag associated with them, the defaults would take over.

I normally work on Gitlab, but I'll move some of my work over to Github and make a pod-2.0 branch to play with. Any advice or insight you can provide would be awesome.

Thanks!

I've been playing around with transcripts and I have an idea on how to do it but I'm not sure it's the best idea.

I am thinking that there needs to be a an item tag in the episode.rrs.xml file that would look something like this:

          <podcast:transcript url= {{ ".pod2_transcript" }} type="application/srt"/>

I referenced that from the podcasting 2.0 RSS feed and in addition to this, i think there might need to be a new archetype added to the episode.md file that would distinguish this from the other plan text transcript option. That is why I went with pod2_transcript shown in the item tag. I just don't know how to fully marry the two together. . .

• can you have "" in the double's and have it render out correctly or do they need to be escaped in the front matter or somewhere else?
• is it enough to create a front matter object in the archetype and then attempt to call it in the episode.rss.xml file? I am trying to learn Hugo and am unsure of this.
• Should this be a fully qualified URL, if hosted somewhere else or a relative url to the base like with images and such?

Well, I have a hacky of doing it at this point:

I made new front matter in the archetype for episode and then added this to the episode.rss.xml

        <podcast:transcript> url = "{{ .Params.pod2_transcript }}" type="application/srt"</podcast:transcript>

Then in the individual episode front matter, I added this

pod2_transcript = "https://linuxlemming.com/files/Edit00.srt" #WIP to get transcripts working

[rastacalavera]

This was wrong
podcast:transcript url = "{{ .Params.pod2_transcript }}" type="application/srt"</podcast:transcript>
it needs to just be
podcast:transcript url = "{{ .Params.pod2_transcript }}" type="application/srt"/>

Also added chapters!
<podcast:chapters url = "{{ .Params.pod2_chapters }}" type="application/json"/>

My apologies for not seeing this until today! This is very interesting and I'll read up some more on what you've been doing.
