I don't think so, but this Alby sunsetting may push us in that direction. There's going to be a lot of feeds that need to be updated.

With Alby sunsetting their free wallet, and LNPay sunsetting their wallets a few years ago, I think we need to have a discussion about how to move away from hardcoding lightning address into the feed.
If I was a guest of a podcast and have a split, and then my address changes, the podcaster now has to update their feed to change my wallet. It's a hassle.

This Alby thing has me bummed. This is a hobby/passion project for me, not a business, and I don't really want to handle wallets in app. I don't want the responsibility/liability of holding other's sats on my server, so I'm trying to figure out what I'll do. I may end up just focusing on The Split Kit and Sovereign Feeds, and let the many other fine developers focus on the player side of our grand endeavor.

2024-01-19 13:49:08

Would it make sense to create a new namespace called 'sandbox' or whatever to use for new tags that aren't adopted into the name space?
I'm asking this in light of a github discussion about removing podcast:image from the namespace because it's not widely used, and I don't think any of the apps support it.
Should we have a one year period with the early adopters to flesh out new tags in a sandbox so we can figure out if the tag is useful and be able to safely modify it before adopting it?

For sure. You have a successful business and clients, so you have insight others may not. If you put a tag in, let me know, and I'm happy to build something for it in my apps. You'll find once one app demonstrates how cool a feature is, it's usually 3-6 months before the other apps follow suit.

@npub14xq…afu2 @npub1anf…2trg That's the problem with seeking a consensus, you'll never get anything done. Churches have split over the color of the carpet. And here we are arguing about the name of something.
If you have an idea, put it out there for discussion, separate the wheat from the chaff in the discussion, then just build it and call it whatever the hell you want. If it's an idea worth copying, the other apps will follow your lead.

That chat in liveItem is vestigial from when I was initially expirementing with liveItem and trying to implement a chat room experience. I kept it in there because others had started implementing it , and I didn't want to break any of their apps, but I think podcast:chat (which is apparently also still an unofficial tag) is probably going to be the preferred way for chat.

If none of you have tried messing with your own node, then I encourage you to sign up at voltage.io and get a $12 a month node. Yep, it's going to cost you $12 a month. Then you have to fund it and balance the channels.
Try doing that, and I think you might appreciate more what exactly Alby is dealing with and be more supportive of what ever direction they decide to go.

2023-12-15 13:55:21

I'm not upset with Alby for doing what they're doing. In fact, I'm surprised it took them this long. They've been providing a FREE service that quite frankly is a pain in the ass to manage.
They owe us nothing, and have been very gracious with their free resource. I for one am thankful for all they've done for us.

So, in playlist mode, the idea is you build your playlist, and it just goes from one block to the next automatically, so the default block is just for you to get your portion of the Value Time Split, not to broadcast that block. If you want to broadcast that block during a talking segment, you'll have to add it as another block in the list and give it a long duration, then when you're ready to play the next song, click the broadcast button for that song.

If I'm understanding correctly, this would be connecting your node to Alby, then using the WebLN API? Because browsers require a plug-in, mobile websites become a sticky issue without the WebLN. I'd prefer WebLN, but end up using the oauth sign-in method because 80-90% of users are mobile.

For playing in an app, right now, CurioCaster, TSK, and Podcast Guru support Live Value Splits.
As long as you're able to manually put <podcast:liveValue uri="https://curiohoster.com/event?event_id=6ef10222-af2a-48eb-beda-45c61f80ea4d" protocol="socket.io"/> into your feed, then you can use any host you want. SF is the only one that's surfacing it "easily" though.

If you get an empty object, then you should default to whatever the value block and image is from the feed. That's how I was letting the apps know that a particular block has ended and to fallback to the feed.

In that case, create a person or chapter block, make the Title the name of your podcast and link to your podcast image for the artwork. Next, edit the value block to the one you're going to put in your podcast and save your block. Once your podcast is published, you can go back an change your default to your podcast.

@npub1ay8…46wf was working on an implementations, and so was @npub1pwl…5qzr for Peertube.
CurioCaster and The Split Kit also act as receivers of the socket.io.
The implementation is pretty easy. Set up a socket.io connection with the server in <podcast:liveValue /> then start listening for the 'remoteValue' event. It will send you a JSON string, which you parse to extract the current remote splits and live chapter info.

I'll probably start working with your code base. I figure my efforts on CurioCaster could be just as easily spent on Podverse, so I'm moving toward open sourcing CurioCaster, and mainly using it as a prototyping app to experiment with new tags and features before they're accepted and to showcase what's possible, but I don't think I'm going to spend a whole lot of time trying to polish it, I can spend that time on other projects.

I checked out Breez SDK kit, and it doesn't work for PWAs. I've considered developing for Android/iOS, because it would reach a larger audience, but I really like the idea of a PWA, one because I'm a weirdo and I like coding in Javascript, and two, because I don't like being beholden to the app stores, though it does limit my reach. When ever I tell someone I'm developing an app, they tell me they can't find it in the app store, so I know that's where most people go, I just wish it wasn't so.

It's a kludge, and it's dirty, but you can see the newest releases. They don't auto update, so it's only from when I last ran my script, but it's something. I'll try to get something automated eventually, but this is something to get you started.
It's a lot of data, so takes a second to load when you first click the button, but hopefully it helps with finding some new songs.

Since you're using Buzzsprout, I'm not sure if they show you your episode guid prior to publishing. If not, you'll need to publish first, the look at your feed to get the guid for your episode, then change your chapter url to match, then republish.

There's a podcaster wallet shim https://podcasterwallet.com/ that a podcaster can use to insert a value block into the Podcast Index if their provider doesn't surface the ability to insert it directly in the feed.
It's suppose to be temporary until more hosts onboard putting the value block in a podcaster's feed. The idea it demonstrate what is possible, and then the host build once they understood the value of it.
I suspect the manual medium curation is the same idea.

This project is using medium for music.

Every album you see is under the hood an RSS feed with the medium=music tag in the feed.
There is a HUGE untapped market for providing hosting to bands to get there music available to be used on a v4v basis.

@npub14xq…afu2 @npub1ln5…xyw6 @npub1rdu…rnz0
Pragmatically, hand curating feeds to add the medium tag makes sense, especially if we're trying to build the music collection in the index.
Principally, we believe the feed is the source of truth or we don't. If we shim in tags and wallets for podcasters, we remove the incentive to find a better podcast host.
We're manipulating the free market by shimming in tags rather than incentivizing the hosts to provide superior features through the loss/gain of customers.

2023-10-16 15:35:51

Here's an idea I'm pondering:
Remote item personal identity feeds.
It's decentralized because it's your feed which you can host anywhere. Because it's your url, you've already established ownership.
It can also have a guid, and once the guid is assigned to you, it's yours forever.
There can also be a directory for looking up different people, just like we're doing with podcasts.
Inside each feed is everything you would need for the value tag and person tag for that person.

Does Podcast Mirror let you set the medium tag? It's a channel level tag. That works be really important for music feeds.

It's here, and I am very open to having anything fixed that may be a security issue or is crummy dockerizing.

I've been working on containerizing MSP, which I think means anyone can host it on their Start9 server. I'm pretty new to all of this container stuff, so any help is welcome.
Anyone with a Start9 who knows if you can build an image from a GitHub repo?
Maybe Start9 would want to donate a server in exchange for a music hosting app.

I want Wavlake to be a success, but only if they're willing to play along with everyone instead of riding the coat-tails of what we're building with RSS v4v music and creating this hybrid walled garden they've been building.
I don't think it's what's best for the musicians at this point, but it's up to the musicians and listeners to decide what value system they support.
As for me and my house, we support interop and ANY music feed or LN address is welcome.

1/8th of the music feeds are non Wavlake. It was 1/9th a few weeks ago, and 1/10th a month ago. It's a good trend.
We'll just have to keep building and educating, which will either force Wavlake to adapt or make them insignificant in the space.
Hopefully musicians are the Independent lot I've always known them to be and will choose wisely.
They're also playing with fire with the iOS app, Nostr integration, and calling the boosts zaps. Apple already spoke w/ Damus.

This would be very helpful. The only thing I would like is something that looks like the question mark in the circle, so it's clear you can click on it to show the hint.
If you're interested, check out the SF repo, src/lib/Shared/TooTip.svelte, and you'll see the ToolTip component I built, but feel free to do it your own way.

@npub1pwl…5qzr I know. I'm just excited to see others trying to implement it.

LN Beats now lets you share an individual track. Like this banger.

It depends. If the artist is choosing to host their music on Wavlake, then a boost from LNBeats goes to the Wavlake wallet because that's what's in the feed. However, there are several artist that are self hosting their music, and the boost would go to the splits as defined in their value split.
RSS Blue also has a few music feeds with the ability to define the splits.
LNBeats shows any music feed in the Index, not just Wavlake feeds.

2023-08-30 18:41:01

I'm adding a Featured landing page to LNBeats. Any music feed that has Sovereign Feeds, Music Side Project, or LNBeats in the value block will automatically be added to the featured page. The order will be randomized, but that's how you get on the featured page if you're interested.

2023-08-30 01:26:45

Because I love self-hosters so much. Self hosted feeds get the top spots in LNBeats. I display them in a random order each time you visit, but they're always at the top of the list.

2023-08-30 00:45:40

Is the idea behind the 'radio' medium to be for 24/7 streaming, or for music shows like Boostagram Ball?
Looking at the github, I'm thinking it's for 24/7 streaming, but my impression is what people really want is a way to discover new music shows.

@npub1ln5…xyw6 I'm wondering if something is up with chapters being returned from the Index. I've had three reports from different podcaster about the different apps all having different chapters, and concerns with caching.
I know CC gets the link to the chapters file straight from the Index, so it may be something going on with the Index.

@npub1df6…ns3a If you were to play a song on your show that was a cover, not knowing it was a cover, could you have some legal trouble, or would you just get a notice and have to remove it from the show recording?

Very good point!!! It's super cheap, and the Nostr bros will love it, but it's probably too technical and risky for the general populous.

2023-08-14 16:39:33

Ok, this is looking really cool.
169 sats for 1GB month of storage for your feed and files.
That's plenty enough for an album for a few months, drop 2000 sats, and you're more than covered for a year.

Writing tutorials/documentation is a pain in the ass. There's a reason it's taken me so long to do, I hate how tedious the process is.
