PHP URL Problems

[heywoodlh]

So I'm running Spodcast on my own server at home -- it is not accessible to the world.

I use FreshRSS for aggregating feeds. For some reason (I'm sure a misconfiguration on my end) the URLs for the media are all messed up when I try the default configuration and subscribing via FreshRSS.

This is what one of the media URLs looks like when I subscribe via FreshRSS (which is a web app running at http://freshrss.local):
http://freshrss.local/i/spodcast.local/The_Joe_Rogan_Experience/The_Joe_Rogan_Experience_-_1782_-_Daniel_Holzman.ogg

What it actually should be is this (notice that the freshrss.local piece is missing):
http://spodcast.local/The_Joe_Rogan_Experience/The_Joe_Rogan_Experience_-_1782_-_Daniel_Holzman.ogg

So for some reason it is prepending the URL of my FreshRSS web app to the media URL when I attempt to subscribe to the RSS feed.

I was able to workaround this by modifying The_Joe_Rogan_Experience's .index.php file and hardcoding the URL I use into the generated media URL:

$hardcoded_url = "http://spodcast.local{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}";
...
...
echo "            <media:content url=\"".$hardcoded_url.$info->filename."\" medium=\"".$info->medium."\" duration=\"".$info->duration."\" type=\"".$info->mimetype."\" />\n";
...
...

I'm not proficient with PHP at all so is there a better way to solve this problem?

(seems to be some problems with the new release, one moment...)

OK, try again with the latest release, v0.3.7, available through pip install -U spodcast or from the repo.

By the way, you'll want to either re-subscribe to your feeds in Spodcast or manually correct the feed .index.php to each show directory. Here's the required change:

--- a/spodcast/feedgenerator.py
+++ b/spodcast/feedgenerator.py
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ def RSS_FEED_CODE():
     return r'''<?php
 const SHOW_INDEX = "''' + RSS_FEED_SHOW_INDEX + r'''";
 const INFO = "''' + RSS_FEED_INFO_EXTENSION + r'''";
-$PROTOCOL + ($HTTPS) ? "https://" : "http://";
+$PROTOCOL = ($HTTPS) ? "https://" : "http://";
 header("Content-type: text/xml");
 $feed_name = "Spodcast autofeed";
 $feed_description = "Spodcast autofeed";

So, change that + after $PROTOCOL into an =. The problem was caused by a sticking Shift key on my (ancient) Model-M keyboard (Shift-= produces +), and this being PHP it happily accepted the nonsensical line as valid.

I tested with FreshRSS, it Works For Me™ using the default install of FreshRSS. If you still have problems they are caused by something else...

Have you tried the latest release? Did it work?

[heywoodlh]

Yes, it worked perfectly! Sorry I forgot to follow up.

OK, thanks for letting me know, this issue can remain closed.
