Releases

Podcast and Videos leave the community: a public RSS for directories, a personal link to listen in podcast apps, a player to embed on other sites and importing shows by RSS. Episode links become cards in posts, and Analytics shows RSS consumption.

What's new

  • Show RSS. In the RSS and embed tab of a Podcast or Videos show, the owner and admin set the RSS to Personal link, Public or Off. When public, the show can be listed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other directories (it needs a cover and a category). See RSS, embed and import.
  • Listen in your podcast app. My feed link, on the show page, gives everyone with access a personal link to listen to the episodes, closed ones included, in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts and other apps; Get a new link invalidates the old one. See My feed link.
  • Embed on other sites. Embed, on the show or episode page, gives you the player code to paste into a website or blog. An open episode plays right there; a closed one invites people to sign in or subscribe. See Embed on another site.
  • Episode links become cards. A link to one of the community's episodes pasted into a post or comment becomes the episode card, with the reader's own access. See An episode link in a post.
  • Import a podcast by RSS. Import by RSS, at the top of the space, brings in a show hosted elsewhere: the episodes come in as drafts and the audio files are copied into the community. See Importing a show from RSS.
  • RSS consumption in Analytics. The Podcast (RSS) view in Analytics shows how much podcast apps downloaded from the feeds in the period, and the show and episode Numbers now have RSS downloads and plays on other sites. See Podcast (RSS).

Improvements

  • Remove a short post's audio. Before, a short post with audio could only go as a whole; now, in the post's Edit, Remove audio takes off just the audio, after a confirmation, and the text stays. See Podcast and Video in the Feed.
  • Video feed only when there's video. In My feed link, the Video feed shows up once one of the show's video episodes is live. See My feed link.
  • New security controls. We applied new security controls to Memberfy. Nothing changes in how you use it: everyone keeps seeing and doing the same as before.

For developers

  • MCP: the assistant changes a show's RSS and embed, hands out and renews the feed link (get_my_show_feed, rotate_my_show_feed), imports a show by RSS (import_show_from_rss) and shows RSS consumption (get_media_feed_analytics). See Tools · Podcast and Videos.
  • API: GET /api/media-shows/{id}/my-feed, POST /api/media-shows/{id}/my-feed/rotate, GET /api/analytics/media-feeds, import by RSS and the show fields rssMode, feedType, ownerEmail and embedEnabled; an episode link in POST /api/embeds/resolve returns provider: memberfy-episode with the episode card.
  • MCP: remove_post_audio removes a short post's audio (the author, or moderator and up; asks to confirm). See Tools · Content.
