Sounds good. Thanks. I was using music assistant with my Sonos speakers, but I found the direct Sonos integration in Hass to be more reliable. Is there any way of getting the podcasts to show up as in the media sourcew in home assistant?
Comment on PinePods Release v0.8.0 - "Mobile apps and massive perfomance bumps"
rhymepurple@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoThe biggest benefits are likely:
- Single service for all your podcasting needs (ie: searching, storing, playing, tracking, and syncing podcasts + listening history)
- Multi-device, cross-platform support (I know this can be somewhat accomplished through the process that you mentioned, but you would need separate apps for iOS and desktop/web)
- (speculation/assumption) It may be easier to get newer features added to Pinepods (especially those that you or the community contributes and/or for server-related features) since the project is focused on just podcasts
- I’m not aware of a similar all-in-one podcast server + client service. As Pinepods matures, it can offer features/services that may not be easily included in the services you mentioned. For example, searching by transcript across all downloaded podcasts or summarizing/combining multiple podcasts (which may be helpful if you listen to multiple daily/weekly/monthly “news” podcasts of a similar topic).
- Supporting a newer project and open source community
The first two may not apply to you in particular, but I’m sure if you have other users that use the services you support then I’m sure they would appreciate having to learn/use a single app/interface for podcasts instead of having to learn one for searching/downloading (if they care about that at all), one for listening on mobile, one for listening on web, and another for managing their download/play sync.

Stay tuned in the very near future. All that sharing, beaming functionality is very shorterm roadmap stuff.

Hey, I just got it running via docker compose. Gotta say it was a very smooth startup. I usually mess up my ports (I keep them incremental), but not even that. It was up and running in under a minute. I am currently importing my podcasts via opml. Themes are awesome. Hot dog stand threw me back a few years! 😄 👍🏼

I’m not too sure - I’m not too familiar with any of these services (including PinePods 😂). I know this type of feature is a common request for any audio related services though. I imagine that this is something that could be added at some point, but I’m not sure what the effort would be.
I don’t see anything about it on the roadmap for v1 or anywhere else on Pinepods’ issues. Perhaps the developer/maintainer @madeofpendletonwool@lemmy.world can chime in or an issue on Github can be created with more information about this feature request?

Hey thanks for selling it! 😀
