Self-hosted centralized podcast client
Self-hosted centralized podcast client
I've been using PocketCasts for years now. Now that my kids are getting into listening to podcasts, I'm looking into centrialized self-hosted podcast catcher that can support multiple users. Any recommendations?
Audiobookshelf supports podcasts and multiple users.
Just a few days ago i finally added my podcasts to my Aufiobookshelf instance and i'm kicking myself for waiting so long to do it.
Yeah I only hopped on it a few days ago. Grabbed it because I started a new job with a long commute and wanted something better than Plex for audiobooks. Decided to migrate my podcasts too while I was at it and love it so far.
Hmm. AntennaPod supports syncing with Next loud via a Gpodder's API, if each kid gets its own next loud account it should work fine
This is what I do. It is super effective.
I have been using audiobookshelf for some time. This supports multiple users and offers native mobile clients with offline functionality. Also, the playback progress is synchronized on all clients.
Podfetch might suit your needs.
I've used both podfetch and the project it's based on podgrab. They do well enough but in the end what worked best for me and sounds like what's best for op is audiobookshelf.
If they run Linux, “Podcasts”, for GNOME. https://circle.gnome.org
If they don't, well they can install it, e.g. https://fedoraproject.org or https://linuxmint.com, and sync their usual folders (~/Documents, ~/Images, etc.) to their phones by using Syncthing, so they could just check if their data is properly synchronized, and then directly install Windows, and pair back their computers to their phones.
Most people see installing GNU/Linux as a sort of long-term commitment. It isn't. We don't need to be fluent English speakers, or learn the CLI, or read books about system administration or software development now. It's just a tool.
