Can someone give me a clue?
If you are interested in podcasts other than from the BBC, search for podcasts in your browser. Add a subject of interest, thus: "podcasts classical music RSS feed", "podcasts tropical plants RSS feed", etc. You are looking for the RSS feed to paste into LMS Podcasts tab in Server Settings. Or you can visit a website of a podcast you may have read about in a newspaper or in newsletter (The Guardian has a weekly podcasts email). For example, a popular podcast in the U.S. is 99% Invisible (99percentinvisible.org). From the home page, look for a clue on how to subscribe to the podcast. I found it by clicking the Subscribe drop-down menu. One of the menu items is "Podcast RSS." I copied the URL (http://feeds.99percentinvisible.org/99percentinvisible) and pasted that into the "Add a New Feed" box on the podcast plugin in Settings and clicked the Apply button on the lower-right of the screen to save it. Return to the LMS Home page and under My Apps click on Podcasts and you will see "99% Invisible" listed. Click on that to see a list of podcasts, sorted by latest (Nov. 17, 2020, "In The Unlikely Event"). Hope this is helpful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TimT's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113268 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
