include all entries in feed #19

Many podcasts have other entries in their feed than only "new episode" posts. To be able to fully replace the original feed with the bitlove feed, it is required that the latter also includes those.

I don't know about the web interface, maybe it would be nice to have that entry, too, at least in the /user/podcast view.

Sorry, could you please rephrase?

dingens commented 12 years ago

Bitlove (apparently) filters entries without an attachment.

For example, http://bitlove.org/metaebene/not-safe-for-work included such a post two weeks ago (http://not-safe-for-work.de/) but it is not in the bitlove feed. This makes it impossible to replace the original feed by the bitlove feed in my feed reader, because I would miss such posts. So IMHO, they should definitely be included in the feed (so that it is an exact copy of the original feed, just with the attachment replaced). And, if you have a good idea how you can nicely add it to the web site, it would be nice to have it there, too.

We don't implement If-Modified-Since and If-None-Matches yet and therefore I am wary with feed sizes. Does your feed reader support <link rel="archive"/>?

New feeds on Bitlove!

Ah, now I understand your issue. :-)

We only skip feed items that have yet untorrentified enclosures, ie. our hasher hasn't finished. This should happen be very very temporarily.

To clarify this for the NSFW feed: Tim has entered the podcast feed which does not include non-episode items.

<link rel="archive"/>

Do you have a link on what that is? I didn't find anything helpful by searching.

Thanks for the answer, I'll then have to ask Tim why he used that feed.

My recalling of that ATOM extension may not be precise, but there's a registered link relation archives.
