What's New:

Version 4.5

SUMMARY

• Support for Podlove Simple Chapters
• See chapters in the podcast preview
• Specify additional info for Spotify
• Other improvements for iCloud sharing, the editor window, and publishing

PODLOVE SIMPLE CHAPTERS

• The Podlove Simple Chapters extension allows chapter information to be included in the feed — the extension can be enabled or disabled in the feed’s Settings view
• When enabled, chapter information will be automatically extracted when attaching an enclosure file or fetching an enclosure’s attributes
• By default, Feeder will automatically extract and upload chapter images. The name will be based on the chapter title to avoid duplication, or Feeder can store the image file in a folder named after the enclosure

PODCAST PREVIEW

• A chapters button will be shown above the preview if the enclosure file is local and includes chapters, or when a remote file is played
• When playing an audio file, the artwork will update to reflect the current chapter
• Fixed an issue where the preview may keep playing when the window is closed

SPOTIFY

• Podcast feeds can now include some information specific to Spotify, such as the relevant countries and the number of most recent episodes to show
• The Spotify extension will be enabled by default for all existing podcast feeds when first opening Feeder 4.5, and can be enabled or disabled in the feed’s Settings view

EDITOR

• Menu items for podcasts and appcasts in the Editor menu will only be shown when those extensions are enabled
• Fixed an issue where closing the window before fetching enclosure attributes has completed would result in a crash
• Fixed an issue where enabling the “Fetch precise durations” option in Podcasts preferences would have no effect

MAIN WINDOW

• In the General section of each feed’s Settings view, choose a feed type to filter the extensions shown — by default this is chosen depending on the extensions the feed already uses
• The view mode toolbar item and search field can no longer be moved or removed on macOS 13 or later

ICLOUD

• Improved user interface for sharing feeds via iCloud on macOS 13.0 and later
• Improvements handling iCloud server issues

PUBLISHING

• Fixed an issue where Feeder may not be able to upload files added to Feeder on another Mac
• Fixed an issue where files may be published to the wrong folder on Amazon S3 after changing the feed’s server from a protocol that included a site folder
• Fixed an issue where XML stylesheets may not be included in the feed if no “media” attributed was specified
