We met today and discussed the following:
- Here's a script to migrate metadata from Podcast Addict to AntennaPod
- We can offer ‘As is’ in a ‘migration scripts’ repo in the AntennaPod organisation (with e.g. a python script per app). @Eliot can’t commit to being (long-term) maintainer.
- The script currently (needs) AntennaPod to run and pull the data, then episode states are migrated over. This means that the migration script also needs to do episode matching. We can do a future improvement to just migrate episode data into an empty AntennaPod database, and then let AntennaPod do episode matching upon feed refresh.
- We’ll fork the original (GitHub - AntennaPod/migration-scripts: Migrate data from the Podcast Addict database to AntennaPod). Then:
- @Eliot can submit their PR with their improvements against our repo (the original script doesn’t work any-more due to database schema changes)
- We add a ‘As is’ disclaimer (‘this is user-contributed’, ‘this is not maintained’, ‘if you want to maintain or contribute, let us know’)
- Migration scripts for other apps (e.g. Pocket Casts) can go in the same repo.
- The database correction script from @ByteHamster could go into the same repo (there are empty databases from different AntennaPod versions which could be reused for the migration scripts).
- First beta of the next release uploaded - we need to write release notes
- Conference on podcasting in Berlin on 23-25 May (https://subscribe.de) with 300-400 visitors. Mainly for developers of hosting platforms & audio production. Some of the talks are in English.
- See notes from preperatory meeting over at 38C3: Subscribe 12 - Orga-Thread - Community - Sendegate
- If there’s anyone thinking of things that would fit in an AntennaPod talk, let us know!
- Someone wanted to join the community call and emailed us at 17:00 CET asking where everyone was. Probably the Discourse plugin is not handling timezones properly. We’ll just remove the plugin and link to the website instead.
- Detailed task specifications for redesign player screen & adjacent features A meeting with two UX designers is scheduled for coming Thursday to discuss concrete next steps and maybe a bit of early competor exploration. Calls with wider input will be at a later point.
