Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread
tofuwabohu@slrpnk.net 6 days agoOh wow, I hadn’t known pinepods! I’ve been looking for a selfhosted podcast management thing for literal years and recently audiobookshelf popped up, but maybe I should check Pinepods instead! I don’t have audiobooks anyways. Are there Android Apps that can be used as a frontend?
Btw, github links to https://pinepods.online/, but the website seems to be exclusively available on https://www.pinepods.online/.

Yep! The Android App is somewhat in the works. It compiles, works and has all the features of the web version currently. The things that don’t work are the aspects that make it an actual Android app. Like local device downloads and integration with Android APIs. That stuff is coming. After this next minor release getting to those are my priority.
Not that I’m biased or anything, but Pinepods objectively has WAYYY more features than audiobookshelf for podcast management. Because it’s a podcast server of course. Things like podcast 2.0 support with chapters, hosts, and transcripts, YouTube channel support, embedded podcast Index, YouTube and iTunes search support, external RSS feed support, etc. Audiobookshelf is great, but it’s an audiobook app. It’d probably be clutter to add a lot of this stuff.
And true on the link. It should redirect though.
