Filtering based on RSS feed category?

App version: 3.6.1f

Problem you may be having, or feature you want:

Some podcasts offer multiple “broadcats”/“programms”.

For example Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita (https://podcasty.rp.pl/) has various:

There are two ways to subscribe:

  1. global feed with everything
  2. particular feeds of programmes that interest us

Now, when they started they had basically 3-4 of programmes. Now there are dozens. I could throw away current global feed and simply add only those that interest me but! If they introduce a new one I won’t know about it (without checking podcast page, which never happens).

I can stick with the global feed and use “Episode filter” feature but that is based on the text (title?) only which doesn’t seem to be too reliable.

Suggested solution:

RSS spec has channel item <category/> element. It would be possible to filter out all the episodes that we don’t want by simply selecting categories that interest us.

In my case the usual flow woud be - I’m listening to podcasts, I notice they have new show/programme/category and if/when I don’t like I simply deselect it from the channel options and I’m not bothered with it again.
