Podcast RSS Feed does not include email address

[DeadSuperHero]

Describe the current behavior

We're using PeerTube to host the video content for our podcast. We want to use the resulting RSS feed to syndicate to a YouTube Podcast channel.

However, when we try to provide the feed URL to YouTube, we get an error message: This RSS Feed is Invalid: Missing Owner Email

The thing is, we have checked an option in the associated user account that says Allow email to be publicly displayed (Necessary to claim podcast RSS feeds.)

The email field never shows up in any of the feeds.

See our feed here: https://spectra.video/feeds/podcast/videos.xml?videoChannelId=4683

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a PeerTube Channel
2. Upload some videos to it
3. In user account options, check Allow Email to be publicly displayed
4. Save
5. Look at the RSS feeds for that channel

Describe the expected behavior

The RSS feeds should include the email field.

Hi,

Is the email of the channel's owner verified? (You can see it in the users list in the admin, just before the email cell)

Hey @Chocobozzz, apologies for the lack of response on my part.

Looking at the admin interface for this user, I cannot see any indication of whether the user is verified or not.

Fixed by b080ccc (will be available in ... button in the next release)

In the meantime you can access the option by enabling Signup requires email verification option in admin configuration (your instance must have smtp configured).

Hey, just checking in on this. I managed to update my user to be verified, and a value now gets added to the RSS Podcast feed: https://spectra.video/feeds/podcast/videos.xml?videoChannelId=4683

New problem: even though the value is in there, YouTube fails to see it. I think that maybe it's looking for the wrong value?

The value as my feed represents it: <podcast:locked owner="hello@wedistribute.org">yes</podcast:locked>

I think YouTube is expecting a more traditional value, like this:

<itunes:email>hello@wedistribute.org</itunes:email>

Thanks for the feedback! itunes:email tag will be included in 6.1 with c67dfb9
