@nprofile…td70 quick question on the API - this feed displays only 4 episodes - https://podcastindex.org/podcast/310504
But the API returns many more - which I think are old ones that are no longer in the feed.
Is there some hidden 'deleted' field that you have in the database but not returned in the API response - if so would it be possible to add this to the API response? (/episodes/byfeedid)

@nprofile…sk9g can you please share the link for the show / episode you are seeing this error with?

yeah something like this could definitely work - the only downside is that for people self-hosting they would have to host the service that does this
for example - if you self-host your feed and use Strike to receive boosts and streams - this wouldn't work
my thinking with the current rss::payment spec was that even though it's a bit more of a lift for apps - it works with any wallet

@nprofile…zv63
we could - there's just the question of how to avoid fake data if anyone can post payment metadata to a public API endpoint
with the rss::payment spec the url to fetch the metadata originates in the payment comment - so there is a direct tie to the actual payment and since apps host the full metadata on a url their reputation is at stake if they fake data
I am open to exploring solutions to this where apps don't have to host the payment urls - and promise I won't mention nostr 😅

2026-02-24 21:17:40 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…zv63 yep - we fetch it from the 'x-rss-payment' header that is returned in the URL - https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/blob/main/docs/examples/value/metadata.md#implementation

If an app implements the rss::payment metadata spec like Fountain and Castamatic do it works:

Personally I would rather trust metadata hosted by an app than metadata sent to an open API in the feed - but happy to look at any proposals people have and try and work together to solve this for apps that don't want to host payment metadata.

@nprofile…zv63
Fountain does this for our hosting customers - we accept payments from any app - either Keysend or Lightning Address - and aggregate payment stats and metadata in our dashboard - https://fountain.fm/podcasters
This is why I have been advocating for the rss::payment metadata spec because it's simple to implement and we can read the metadata from the x-rss-payment header and use this for our stats.

This boostbox server follows the rss::payment metadata spec exactly - https://github.com/noblepayne/boostbox
so if you're using that everything should line up - it's just that many of the guids are optional so you just need to make sure you're adding as many as possible

2026-02-22 13:48:07 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…x5pc is there a reason this metadata does not include the feed_guid?
https://boostbox.cloud/boost/01KHY044DQE27T5MEQ7J6GJCBV
Ideally we have both feed_guid and item_guid to be 100% sure we are matching and applying support stats to the right episode.

- reply

@nprofile…x5pc thanks I've found the issue - give me a bit more time to add a fix and I'll follow up soon and you can test again - shouldn't be too long I just always need to be careful when changing payment logic

@nprofile…x5pc sorry I meant the reference id from the receiving fountain wallet (first screenshot)

@nprofile…x5pc can you send me the reference id and I can check why this is not displaying as a boost in the fountain wallet

2026-02-20 15:07:04 UTC

@nprofile…x5pc yes I think defaulting to lnurl is a good idea

@nprofile…w0mx
Totally agree James - this <metaBoost> spec has been around since 2024 and no-one has implemented it because it's overly complex.
The rss::payment metadata spec is simple and we have 2 apps that have implemented and 2 more that are working on it.
We need to all align on this if we want to re-energise open podcast payments.

2026-02-02 10:30:04 UTC

@nprofile…w0mx I've enabled CORS for these payment urls - let me know if that works for you

@nprofile…x5pc @nprofile…zv67 @nprofile…05ue
I would suggest leaving the feed as medium="music" and the video in the alternate enclosure - we can add support for music videos this way

2026-01-20 14:38:16 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…05ue @nprofile…x5pc
Yes we only support alternate enclosure video for podcasts - not music.
I don't think alternate enclosure should be used for external platform links - shouldn't we use <podcast:contentLink> for that?

@nprofile…kdkm we have a new version 1.4.1 which is now live - although we weren't able to replicate the issue - we've made an update to the layout logic this screen which we believe will fix the issue - can you let me know if you're still experiencing it on 1.4.1?

@nprofile…6746 @nprofile…srvr @nprofile…ye27 @nprofile…7xwn yeah 1 step at a time - main thing is that now it's available in the other PC20 apps and we have a test-case for switching to BOLT11 lnaddress value recipients which allows podcasters / artists / listeners to get started with any Lightning Address

2024-11-22 17:46:12 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…srvr @nprofile…ye27 there is much more to talk about with regards to the lnaddress value block change, and also the wallet options for other apps.
I was supposed to join the boardroom today but unfortunately I'm not able to make it - but I'll be joining Adam and Dave next week to talk about all things wallets and share an open source demo I've built which showcases how we can use Strike OAuth for PC20 payments.
Hopefully the Fountain Radio RSS feed can be a good testbed for switching to BOLT11

2024-11-22 17:42:56 UTC

🎶 ⚡️ Fountain Radio is BACK and re-built from the ground up using RSS liveItem.
Not only is it now available in the Fountain mobile app - but it's also available in any PC20 app that supports live items - just search for Fountain Radio and Listen live!
One thing to note is that the RSS feed for Fountain Radio uses the new lnaddress value block spec - so you probably won't be able to boost until @nprofile…srvr @nprofile…ye27 add support for this.
