I am writing a #podcast feed generator with @…
It is interesting how no two podcast feed look the same. Some have one or two namespaces (usually itunes and podcasting 2.0) and some have over half a dozen (rawvoice, googleplay, purl, atom, etc.).
itunes tags greatly vary in quantity and syntax. Several of them are not even listed on the Apple official page for Podcast RSS pages. https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcb54353390
Of course, that page is incomplete and you can find other tags that are still in use in their documentation...
Some people added tags from podcasting 2.0 that never got accepted, and are not even mentionned as proposed anymore (for instance, @… uses podcast:id).
Some publsh enclosures in formats nobody understands (for instance, Peertube publishes m3u8 files...)
This is an incredible mess. And I'll probably add to it by publishing one more incomplete generator 😅

#Blakes7 Series B, Episode 05 - Pressure Point
TRAVIS: Now, Kasabi, listen to this: was the homing beacon to transmit in a code pattern?
KASABI: Yes. It was pulse, three long, two short, recurring. [Servalan prepares a final dose of the drug. Travis moves to stop her, but Servalan slaps him off and administers it to Kasabi.]

Diese Zahl erschreckt eine Weltordnung, in nur überbordender – auch sinnfreier – Konsum Wachstum und damit Wohlstand bedeutet. In einer physisch begrenzen Welt ist das aber zerstörerisch, wie wir seit Jahrzehnten erleben. Vielleicht wäre jetzt der Zeitpunkt, auf eine Konsumpolitk zurückzugehen, in der Geräte 30 Jahre halten und reparierbar sind. In der Menschen kaufen, was sie brauchen und nicht, was die Wirtschaft von ihnen braucht. 🤷‍♀️

Learnt about fermented tofu or wet/preserved bean curd yesterday, and bought some today.
Kind of similar to nattoo, a #vegan blue cheese alternative.

Apparently whenever it's on, you can see all the people laughing at you."

#Blakes7 Series D, Episode 05 - Animals
DAYNA: He isn't interested in offers. He doesn't want Federation help or any help. He just wants to be left alone.
SERVALAN: He can't be left alone. Surely you can see that. You have his affection, yes? He trusts you. Then all you do is go and tell him to do a deal with us.

ARLE: Oh, come on, Berg. You're not old enough to have lost your nerve yet. [They start to cross the field. Smoke begins to rise around their feet] Help me. Help me. I can't move.
BERG: I can't. [Small flames lick near their feet] I can't! [His scream is cut off when they are blown up.]

Un constat : ça prend un temps infini de faire les sous-titres d'un podcast ou d'une vidéo.
Même en ayant un script pré-écrit, et qu'il faut simplement caler, si on est contraint Š un certain nombre de caractères par ligne, comme c'est notamment le cas avec le standard Podcasting 2.0 (32 caractères), c'est très très très long.
Hier, j'ai mis 2h30 pour un épisode de 21 minutes.
J'ai utilisé Aegisub, qui est un logiciel libre qui facilite la chose. Sans lui, j'y serai encore. Je recommande chaudement !
