Hey all,

I've spent the majority of the last year hammering away at Pinepods. It's a Rust based podcast management system that manages podcasts with multi-user support and relies on a central database with clients to connect to it. It's complete with a browser based client and your podcasts and settings follow you from device to device due to everything being stored on the server. AntennaPod is great and all but sometimes I want to listen to podcasts from my laptop. Here's a great solution to that problem. There's also a client edition that you can download and install.

Search both The Podcast Index or Itunes to browse through shows and episodes, Import or export opmls of your podcasts, utilize the standard of podcasting 2.0. It's all fully dockerized and you can have an instance of your own up and running in 5 mins!

If you're on the fence you can try it out without installing the server too! Check the website for more info!

There's a lot more to come down the pipeline as well, such as a lightweight client to stream episodes to and alternative database support. Now is the perfect time to check it out and enjoy continued feature updates! Feel free to open issues or PRs if you experience any problems. Or drop a line on the discord. I'm happy to help!

What I am missing is something where I can sync what podcast I am playing and the minute and second where in the podcast I am.

This way I could switch seamlessly between devices.

Does it have functionality like that?

Kasts on desktop and Antennapod on Android, each using Gpoddersync to Nextcloud gives me this functionality.

Does gpodder sync playtime too? I never could figure out how and then their webside was broken for so long so I gave up on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It depends in the app. Gpodder has the capability to sync playtime but some apps don't sync that part. And gpodder itself is a dead project. But a nextcloud gpodder is a nextcloud app that replicates the same functionality to your local nextcloud server since gpodder is in maintenance mode.

I've been using the PocketCasts app for android which has this feature. It's not self-hosted, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah relying on someone else's computer is not optimal. And also when it's a proprietary protocol you can only use one client on all devices.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes absolutely. If you're using Pinepods between the two devices your listen time is synced to the server. Meaning swapping between devices syncs your exact listen time. In addition to that I almost have time sync implemented for nextcloud sync as well. Meaning swapping between antennapod and pinepods your listen time will sync also.

That makes it very interesting, hm I just don't have Nextcloud.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can use it without nextcloud. That's entirely optional and exists only if you want to sync between antennapod and pinepods. If you're only using Pinepods you don't need that at all and syncing time between devices works totally fine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah I get it, thanks. I just already use Antennapod and like it a lot. I will check Pinepods out, perhaps it's already good enough that I would be OK giving up Antennapod, if not then installing Nextcloud to get this sync functionality between devices.
