This should become a Web-Based Podcast Player one fine day
Concept. No code yet.
Currently selecting frameworks, tools, libs:
- Backend: Python (3, of course), Django
- Frontend: vue.js
- Audio Player: propably Podlove-Web-Player
- Video Player: not yet decided
My main podcast player still is Miro - But it's a dead project and increasingly difficult to keep it running. It's Python 2, GTK 2, gstreamer 0.10 - updating it to current stuff would be more or less a complete rewrite.
On the phone AntennaPod is OK - but mobile only.
I've looked at a lot of podcast players - and don't like them all for diffrent reasons - and there is one feature I'm currently missing and none of the existing tools provides: cross-device syncing.
Recently I had a look to funkwhale after they added rss-support - But it's not the tool for me. It has a completely diffrent focus, but maybe I can "steal" some code there.
Finally I realized that the two hardest parts should be simple with a web-based player:
- Browsers got pretty good at playing media.
- No syncing needed - all devices can just access the same backend.
So i decided to start this.
