We’ve already hit an all-time high with downloads and unique listeners since switching to a 2.0 feed with @Castopod but the numbers keep coming in from 2.0 apps like @podverse, Fountain, @AntennaPod, Castamatic, and more!
We can’t thank everyone involved in developing these apps and creating this movement enough! 🙏
@podverse @adam @dave @sliekpodcast @Castopod @merryoscar @AntennaPod are those Castopod statistics? How does it differentiate between a “service” and a “player”?
I ask because I’m wondering if Podverse is getting grouped in the “unknown” category on the left, and we need to fix our user agent handling…
@podverse @adam @dave @sliekpodcast @merryoscar @AntennaPod
Hello @mitch
TLDR;
service=podcast-rss-useragents
player=user-agents
Castopod uses OPAWG to detect the podcast apps.
If you look on the repo https://github.com/opawg you'll see there are two different ways: opawg/user-agents and opawg/podcast-rss-useragents.
We do both.
- The 1st one checks the user agent when the mp3 is dowloaded.
- The 2nd one checks the user agent when the RSS is downloaded, create a specific url for each MP3.
@Castopod
Umm …
Do you accept PRs?
Piecharts are … suboptimal in almost all cases…

There is plenty of room for enhancement!
@Castopod @podverse @adam @dave @sliekpodcast @merryoscar @AntennaPod @mitch Ah, PHP with Composer.
Hm. I cloned the repo for now (will keep a copy on my Gitea, too).
But I need to refresh my PHP knowledge to set up a local instance.
Not today, for sure.
