POLL: When Castopod has a plugin system, which plugins would you like to have?

@xtaran Thank you for the suggestion, that’s a good idea.

@genebean I use Aegisub. Not perfect but good enough.

@jdrpodcast

@carrabelloy Castopod will take care of everything: Once you have installed it, it will allow you to upload the file to the server where it's installed.
Note that a future version (quite soon…) will allow you to use S3 buckets.

Castopod is in China.

No, unfortunately it does not.
(Yet.)
Because mp3 and Apple's m4a are the only used everywhere...
But that will change when we support the alternateEnclosure tag (no ETA yet).
