New Podcast Plugin! (PodPress Replacement)

    I’ve have a lot of trouble with PodPress lately, and after FINALLY fixing all the problems I was having with it, I’ve decided that I need something a bit more ‘updateable’. I don’t want to have to wait around for updates and features to be added.

    So I’ve decided to write a podcasting plugin. Something full-featured that will make podcasting easy and powerful.

    What I’m looking for is feature requests. What would you like to see in a Podcasting plugin? What was missing from PodPress that you would like to see added?

    Thanks in advance for all the suggestions everyone. I look forward to providing the community with something great!

    Podpress has been great. I would love to know if anyone has had any trouble making it work with 2.7? I’m running it on 2.6.3 right now and I’m not experiencing any problems. However these are live sites, and I don’t want to mess them up with an upgrade that will break it.

    PodPress seems to interfere with media handling in 2.7

    It had media issues in 2.6 as well, but that was fixed when I patched revisions. The only thing I’ve seen in 2.7, is that it makes Quick Edit given an error message when editing entries. But it still seems to work fine.

    I’ve successfully updated 2 sites to WP2.7 with Podpress and have not had any issues with it.

    I’m very happy with this combo, and for now I’m sticking with podpress

    Use Podcasting, it’s updated regularly:

    PodPress support is dead.

    What about adding Right-to-Left support for the plugin and the Player?
    Right-to-Left languages were supported by PodPress (it had a “.pot” language file that could be translated) but the player didn’t look good on a right-to-left page (for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) because it was designed to be shown on a left to right page.

    “Podcasting” plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podcasting/) does not have a language file.

    If you are serious about doing a PodPress replacement, might I suggest you do the following:

    Create a web page describing your initiative
    Ask for donations now, in exchange for beta/preview releases and a discount or free V1.0 release.
    Create or implement a features request tracking system
    Document your intentions/features for a v1.0 release
    allow for email subscriptions for those interested to be able to stay informed of your progress
    post a timeline and stick to it.
    Don’t forget the 80/20 rule. You cant get every wish in R1.0, hit what people want/use the most first, you can get the rest later (or with additional plugins as suggested)

    Good luck

    I’d love to see:

    1- Podpress that works with current version of WordPress

    2- Full stats supported, hosted by user, not remote (this is why I haven’t switched to blubrry’s podcasting plugin.)

    3- Keep all the exsisting functionality of podpress

    4- Support for podcast advertising (podtrac stats, blubrry)

    5- Would it be impossible to insert ads into the mp3 file automatically?

    Would be also wonderful to see audio links appear in facebook:

    Check this out

    Also have the iTunes subscribe link right next to the play button, as well as a YouTube style embed code button:

    PLAY AUDIO BUTTON
    Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download | Subscribe in iTunes | Embed

    I just wish I knew if he ever plans to update podpress. I have not seen anything nearly as complete. If there will be no more development fine but he should say what he is going to do.

    Have you seen PowerPress 1.0? It took just over a year but PowerPress now includes all of the core features found in PodPress, plus a lot of other new features.

    Some features that may interest the thread:

    • Actually Pings (Notifies) iTunes (PodPress iTunes ping stopped working sometime in 6.x versions)
    • Category Podcasting as well as support for multiple channels/media formats
    • Up to date media player with 5 different mp3 players to pick from
    • Fast media size and duration detection (wait only seconds to detect very large media files)
    • Migration Tools, quickly migrate from PodPress, Blogger or MoveableType

    Most importantly, PowerPress stores podcast episodes in the same ‘enclosure’ custom fields format as WordPress does. So if you were previously podcasting by just putting the link to your media in your post content, then there’s no migrating necessary. Just enable PowerPress and start enjoying the podcast specific enhancements it adds.
