Retrieving duration or other custom-named tags

[stees]

I'm using tidyRSS to parse podcast RSS and would like to get the duration of each episode together with the title, ID, etc.

Is there a way to do that?

Hi stees, there should be, if that field exists. Do you know if podcast rss feeds regularly include this info? Would you have an example or a schema?

[stees]

This one has that information in two forms: <itunes:duration> and also like this: <enclosure url="https://nerdcast.jovemnerd.com.br/vai_te_catar_26.mp3" length="2363" type="audio/mpeg"/>.

However, most feeds that I checked had only <itunes:duration> like this one and this one, which already suffices for me.

Hi @stees , I've put this in the dev version of the package:
