> What is the difference between them and how do I notice?
The trick older LMS builds used was to try http for https URLs instead.
For many resources this still works. Only few services or radio stations
enforce https. So even if you were entering a podcast URL with https,
the stream eventually used would likely be http.
But some streams are only available in https. Previously in those cases
the server would remove the 's' from the URL and give it a try. The
player would try to play it, but often either fail with a "400 invalid
request" or "redirect limit exceeded" if the remote service tried to
automatically re-direct from http to https (which LMS in turn would
revert to http again...).
Take eg. https://talkpython.fm/episodes/rss
If the platform didn't have the IO::Socket::SSL module installed, you'd
even fail to configure that podcast.
-(New topics in the Beta section are excluded in the 'What's new'
section. Is that as intended?)-
No idea.
