Problems with certain podcatchers like Overcast and Castro #7

I'm having trouble adding the feed through certain podcatchers like Overcast or Castro. The URL definitely points to the feed. I have checked this via curl and wget. The only app I have found that accepts the feed so far on iOS is Podverse. Are there certain things in the feed that are missing or maybe different and that's why the apps are having problems?

Tried it with Overcast and had no issues at all. Takes some secs till the Podcast is added but it simply works.

Had the same issue trying to add a podcast with a lot of episodes on Castro iOS. Other podcast worked fine. I suspected it takes too long for podcasts with a lot of episodes and Castro is running into some kind of timeout?

Can you give an example of which podcasts worked and which didn't?

bjoerns1983 commented 1 year ago

I think it will run into somekind of Timeout when you try make an RSS for something like this: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/sportschau/10001759/

Did you try the "latest" parameter?

Feed url with the 10 latest episodes: https://example.com/ardaudiothek-rss.php?show=10001759&latest=10

That definately fixes the Problem.

I still get a timeout in Overcast even with just latest=1. Apple Podcast App adds the feed immediately on the same device

miniflux users should set: HTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=60

i assume that more bandwidth is used than with regular atom/rss feeds, because the feed has to be generated first.
