             Bug #: 1366
           Summary: handle "future" episode actions in json documents
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gpodder.net
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature request
          Priority: low
         Component: Advanced API (Server-side)
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Incorrect input from mygpo clients (non-UTC timestamps) can result in actions
with "future" timestamps. Currently, these actions are nonetheless displayed in
the web pages, but are not returned by the json documents as long as their
timestamp is still in the future.

I think the options are:
(1) align the web view to the json document (don't display future events)
(2) align the json document to the web view (return future events in the json)
(3) maybe an error could be returned when the action is originally submitted?

I don't see any advantage to (1). (3) is probably best, in terms of helping to
quickly find problematic clients, however I don't know if that's possible in
the API and whether there are backwards compatibility issues. If (3) is not
practical, I suggest going with (2).
