Is there something already that runs yt-dlp on a server and outputs an rss feed / podcast of the results?

@liaizon I've written the opposite, a tool to grab the RSS feed and then yt-dlp it? Though because google changes youtube every single day it's usually out of date. I have some tools that could probably do it - what's your needs?

@silverwizard subscribing to SoundCloud and Spotify accounts in podcast apps

@liaizon Oh! right - yt-dlp does not-youtube

I have this which can be pretty easily worked out if you tag the items when you download them
Silverwizard's Dumb CodePodcast-CreateA tool for making simple podcasts from a list of files.
@liaizon I take no responsibility for this code - it sucks

@liaizon

SoundCloud already had RSS built in, but it's a little awkward to access a link:

A SoundCloud RSS feed looks like this:

feeds.soundcloud.com/users/sou

You can find the UserID (here, 123456789) by examining the HTML source code of the home page for the SoundCloud user. Look for a string like this:

<link rel="alternate" href="android-app://com.soundcloud.android/soundcloud/users:123456789">

@silverwizard

@bobjonkman @silverwizard interesting to see that the rss feed exists but it doesn't seem to contain any content for the accounts I just checked, each account probably has to enable it, which defeats the point I would like to use this for

@liaizon

Hm. I haven't had any trouble podcatching anything from SoundCloud, although sometimes the .mp3 files are slightly corrupt [*]

Mind you, I'm mostly downloading things like news shows and other radio broadcasts, not albums or music tracks.

[*]Metadata? Don't know. The podcatcher downloads the file but doesn't put it in the playlist. It plays just fine from the download folder.

@silverwizard

@liaizon

You're right. It's a valid RSS feed, but contains no <item> elements...
