Summary
- Support for Podlove Simple Chapters
- See chapters in the podcast preview
- Specify additional info for Spotify
- Other improvements for iCloud sharing, the editor window, and publishing
Spotify
- Podcast feeds can now include some information specific to Spotify, such as the relevant countries and the number of most recent episodes to show. When the Media RSS extension is enabled, you can also limit the podcast to only appearing in certain countries. Find the Spotify section in the Feed view.
- The Spotify extension will be enabled by default for all existing podcast feeds when first opening Feeder 4.5, and can be enabled or disabled in the feed’s Settings view.
Podlove Simple Chapters
- The Podlove Simple Chapters extension allows chapter information to be included in the feed — this may be used by the Podlove Web Player and Spotify mobile app, amongst others. Most podcast players, including Apple Podcasts, get chapter information from the media file itself.
- When the Podlove Simple Chapters extension is enabled, chapter information will be automatically extracted when attaching an enclosure file or fetching an enclosure’s attributes. The extension can be enabled or disabled in the feed’s Settings view.
- By default, Feeder will automatically extract and upload chapter image files. The name of the online image file will be based on the chapter title to avoid duplication on the server. Alternatively, Feeder can store the image file in a folder named after the enclosure. These settings can be chosen when enabling the Podlove extension, and at any time in the feed’s image publishing settings.
Podcast Preview
- A chapters button will be shown above the preview if the enclosure file is local and includes chapters, or when a remote file is played.
- When playing an audio file, the artwork will update to reflect the current chapter.
- Fixed an issue where the preview may keep playing when the window is closed.
Editor
- Menu items for podcasts and appcasts in the Editor menu will only be shown when those extensions are enabled.
- Fixed an issue where closing the window before fetching enclosure attributes has completed would result in a crash.
- Fixed an issue where enabling the “Fetch precise durations” option in Podcasts preferences would have no effect.
Main Window
- In the General section of each feed’s Settings view, choose a feed type to filter the extensions shown — by default this is chosen depending on the extensions the feed already uses.
- The view mode toolbar item and search field can no longer be moved or removed on macOS 13 or later.
iCloud
- Improved user interface for sharing feeds via iCloud on macOS 13.0 and later.
- Improvements handling iCloud server issues.
Publishing
- Fixed an issue where Feeder may not be able to upload files added to Feeder on another Mac.
- Fixed an issue where files may be published to the wrong folder on Amazon S3 after changing the feed’s server from a protocol that included a site folder.
- Fixed an issue where XML stylesheets may not be included in the feed if no “media” attributed was specified.
- Updated FTP software, which fixes intermittent issues publishing with FTP with SSL/TLS.
