Publishing podcats like a nerd!
This gem helps you to publish podcasts using Auphonic. It can fetch a list of Auphonic productions using their API. You can add episodes and generate seperated feeds per audio format.
The Geekstammtisch website and this gem is inspired by [fanboys-IGOR] igor.
Note that there might be some Geekstammtisch specific behavior left in this gem. If you find something, drop me a note!
Add this line to your application's Gem file:
gem 'gst-kitchen'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install gst-kitchen
gst-kitchen assumes various conventions about (file) naming and URLs.
- feeds: feeds must be located at:
<website_url>/episodes.<format_file_ext>.rss
, e.g.http://geekstammtisch.de/episodes.m4a.rss
- episode media files must be located at:
<media_url>/<downcased handle><padded episode_nr>.<format_file_ext>
, e.g.http://media.geekstammtisch.de/episodes/gst000.m4a
Meta data from each episodes is read from your Auphonic production. The episode number is read from the title
,
which must start with <handle><number>
. The episode name is read from subtitle
, summary and description is
set to Auphonic's summary
field. Filesizes, playtime etc. is also read from the production.
First you need to place your Auphonic credentials as JSON into ~/.auphonic
:
echo '{"user": "[email protected]", "pass": "secret"}' > ~/.auphonic
Then you need to create a podcast.yml
containing your podcast metadata.
You can take a look at https://github.com/tisba/gst-website/blob/master/podcast.yml as an example.
Important fields are
- basic meta data like,
title
,subtutle
,author
,email
andlanguage
handle
is a short handle for your podcast. It can be an abbreviation or acronym, or anything you like. For geekstammtisch it'sGST
.- base URLs for the website and media location
- list of available audio formats: fileext_encoding, e.g.
m4a_aac
ormp3_mp3
rss_output_path
specifies where the generated feeds will be located
