This is an interesting idea, i'll look into this!
Can you give me an example of what content you'd fill in the tag with?
When I look at Apples Podcaster's Guide to RSS there is the definition of <itunes:season>
The episode season number.
If an episode is within a season use this tag.
Where season is a non-zero integer (1, 2, 3, etc.) representing your season number.
To allow the season feature for shows containing a single season, if only one season exists in the RSS feed, Apple Podcasts doesn’t display a season number. When you add a second season to the RSS feed, Apple Podcasts displays the season numbers.
So a non-zero positive integer should work.
Implemented here: https://github.com/ben-xo/dir2cast/pull/68 - would you be so kind as to try it out @EdwarDDay ?
Thanks @ben-xo .
I tested it and found out, that just adding a <itunes:season>
element isn't enough. The whole podcast needs a <itunes:type>serial</itunes:type>
and every episode needs an episode number <itunes:episode>
.
My idea for continuing would be the following:
Adding <itunes:type>serial</itunes:type>
based on ITUNES_SEASON_TAG
in the ini file would make sense in my opinion. The episode number could either be calculated or read from TRCK
tag (Track number/Position in set
).
Hi @EdwarDDay , I have updated the branch as so:
ITUNES_TYPE_SERIAL
<itunes:type>serial</itunes:type>
will be output.TRCK
now used for <itunes:episode>
as well as TPOS
for <itunes:season>
. If missing, won't be output.Could you try this version?
I've updated the config to e.g. ITUNES_TYPE = serial
with the default being episodic
so that you have the option to remove it entirely with ITUNES_TYPE = ""
@ben-xo I tried it and it works perfectly. Thank you
It would be nice to have support for the season tag. iTunes supports
<itunes:season>
as an optional episode tag and there is theTPOS
(part_of_a_set
) ID3 tag which could be used.
