I would like to use Antennapod to follow my Youtube channels along with my podcasts. I would like to go through the inbox each morning, send to the queue the chapters I want to watch later, and go afterwards to the queue and click in “visit web” to go to Youtube and watch it.
Current behaviour:
They just can’t be added to the queue. I believe it can be related to the message “This element does not contain a multimedia file”.
First occurred:
I just started to try Antennapod for this use case a week ago.
YouTube feeds unfortunately are not podcasts, they don’t offer a media file. This makes it impossible to play directly from AntennaPod, which is why they cannot be added to the queue.
Wouldn’t it be possible to allow adding elements without media file to the queue?
To be honest, I am even considering using Antennapod for blogs, I like it much better than Feeder or any other reader. I love the INBOX > QUEUE thing. I think this is the only thing preventing me from using it that way… and the “fetch the whole article” thing.
I’m not familiar with Feeder, but it sounds like you’re looking for some kind of media consolidation platform rather than a podcast app like AntennaPod. Maybe it would make more sense to ask the Feeder folks for AntennaPod-like interface enhancements rather than trying to change the very nature of AntennaPod. It is a nice compliment to the AntennaPod team.
AntennaPod is a podcast player and those are not podcasts. Sorry, we don’t officially support generic RSS feeds and won’t add additional features for them. This would take away development+maintenance time from our main features.
I strongly agree with a podcatcher app not trying to become a more generic media player which is where the the likes of Spotify and BBC Sounds fall down in their usability.
You can do just that… Add video links to your “personal podcast” feed, and subscribe to it in AntennaPod. Each new video link you add to your personal feed, will then appear in AntennaPod directly!
Thanks @simode. Unfornutnately it does not look exactly like what I want. They advertise it as “Convert Youtube videos to audio and listen to them on your podcast app”. But I do not want to listen to them, I want to watch them. I just want a convenient way to gather all Youtube updates into a single inbox and then decide those that I do want watch and send them to a “watch later” list, or “queue” in AntennaPod terms.
That describes what I do already - inside YouTube itself. When I see something interesting on Home or Subscriptions I click the triple-dot menu and select Save to Watch later. Then when I’m ready to watch something I go to Watch Later. It works from both the app and the browser.
