ikiwiki's simple podcasting, while elegant and minimal, doesn't (as
|
|
mentioned in [[todo/blogging]]) produce full-featured feeds. In
|
|
fancy podcasts, episodes are accompanied by text content. The feeds
|
|
also have lots more metadata.
|
|
|
|
[[!toc]]
|
|
|
|
## Design
|
|
|
|
7. For each fancy podcast episode, write a blog post containing
|
|
`\[[!meta enclosure="WikiLink/to/media.mp3"]]`. (Don't specify
|
|
more than one enclosure -- but if you do, last one wins.)
|
|
7. When rendering to HTML (single-page or inlined), append a link
|
|
to the media file.
|
|
7. When rendering to RSS/Atom, the text is the entry's content and
|
|
the media file is its enclosure.
|
|
7. Don't break simple podcasts in pursuit of fancy podcasts.
|
|
|
|
## Implementation
|
|
|
|
[[!template id=gitbranch branch=schmonz/fancypodcast author="[[schmonz]]"]]
|
|
|
|
### Completed
|
|
|
|
* Cover the existing simple podcast behavior with tests.
|
|
* Add an `enclosure` field to [[plugins/meta]] that expands the
|
|
given [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]] to an absolute URL (feed enclosures
|
|
pretty much need to be, and the reference feeds I've looked at
|
|
all do this).
|
|
* Write failing tests for the desired single-page and inlined
|
|
HTML behavior, then make them pass by adding enclosure stanzas
|
|
to `{,inline}page.tmpl`.
|
|
|
|
### Must-have (for [[schmonz]], anyway)
|
|
|
|
* Write failing tests for the desired RSS/Atom behavior, then make
|
|
them pass, probably via changes to `{atom,rss}item.tmpl` and
|
|
[[plugins/inline]].
|
|
* Enrich podcast feed metadata (some of which is iTunes-specific,
|
|
though I'm not aware of it causing any problems for other
|
|
podcatchers, and in fact some of them may also use it).
|
|
* Subscribe to a fancy feed in some common podcatchers and compare
|
|
display details against a reference podcast.
|
|
* Compare feature-for-feature and feed-for-feed with
|
|
[tru_podcast](http://www.rainskit.com/blog/542/tru_podcast-a-podcasting-plugin-for-textpattern),
|
|
which is what [[schmonz]] will be migrating from.
|
|
* Think carefully about...
|
|
* UTF-8.
|
|
* Other templates with `CONTENT` and whether they want to learn
|
|
about `ENCLOSURE` (maybe `aggregatepost.tmpl`?).
|
|
* Whether [[tips/howto avoid flooding aggregators]] suffices for
|
|
migrating a fancy podcast into ikiwiki.
|
|
* Verify that the feeds validate.
|
|
* Verify that _all_ the tests pass (not just my new ones).
|
|
|
|
### Nice-to-have
|
|
|
|
* Let the enclosure's MIME type be specified, in case someone ever
|
|
needs to disagree with `File::MimeInfo`.
|
|
* Extend [[plugins/inline]] to configurably generate additional
|
|
subscription links (such as iTunes) alongside the RSS/Atom ones.
|
|
* Verify that [[plugins/more]] plays well with fancy podcasts.
