Missing summary information #1110

Closed paapereira closed 2 years ago

paapereira commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug The summary information is lacking when comparing to AntennaPod for example. It's a custom RSS feed, namely Linux Unplugged.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Check the summary of an episode from a custom feed in AntennaPod for example
  2. Check the summary of that episode in Podverse
  3. See the difference

Expected behavior All the summary information should be available.

I checked the public Linux Unplugged feed and the summary is also lacking so it's not a custom rss issue.

As a quick fix, I'm having our parser use the <itunes:summary> tag in the RSS feed as our Episode.description column value. If <itunes:summary> is not available, then it will fallback to the <description> tag.

Maybe not the best fix...but we'll see if it's passable. Basically in our Episode schema, subtitle means a short summary, and description means a full summary.

I just deployed the update to our feed parsers. The fixed (longer) summaries won't appear until we re-parse a feed, so the pages won't correct themselves until a new episode is released.

I also made a corresponding parser change for custom RSS feeds on mobile. The change will be in 4.5.14.
