On import, how to handle multiple top-level itunes categories? #294

Open kookster opened 7 years ago

The West Wing Weekly has 2 top level categories, which is fine with Apple, but they ignore the second one, and only use the first.

On import, we save/bring in both categories, but the UI only supports one top level category.

Should we not even import both values, and only save the first one (that Apple uses)?

"Although you can specify more than one category and subcategory in your feed, the iTunes Store only recognizes the first category and subcategory." https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcb54353390

Users can browse podcast subject categories in the iTunes Store by choosing a category from the Podcasts pop-up menu in the navigation bar. Use the tag to specify the browsing category for your podcast.

You can also define a subcategory if one is available within your category. Although you can specify more than one category and subcategory in your feed, the iTunes Store only recognizes the first category and subcategory. For a complete list of categories and subcategories, see Podcasts Connect categories.

If iTunes only uses one category + subcategory, makes sense to me to only save the first one!
