Yes, stirring maybe you'll get a whif soon!

I smell what you're cooking.

I've tried to contact them 3 times. They don't respond so my recommendation is use the beyond pod beta. Or send a support request to them to try and get their attention.

Anything new stirring? Beyondpod dl only works for now.

No comment related to your prior experience which I can relate to.

Everyone here, critical or helpful, all the feedback has been fine.  I've just been trying to stay on top of it but I think sometimes it looks like I'm being defensive or something.  There are issues and it isn't perfect but at least it is functional at the moment with what is in the market.  I'm also working on a more permanent and dedicated mobile solution but I have to get buy in on it.

Nah, i don't take your response as defensive at all. I know exactly what you're dealing with x100. Have there been changes and new suggested apps at all? Or still same business, BP doesn't work and Pocket Cast does DL but has borked quantity of available episodes.

No comment. 

None necessary, your work is appreciated. I've been in your shoes and walked away to be able to just have the feeling of the show and no discontent from dundering about. I'm glad your help is being accepted at least. We'll get there.

I just subscribed. MU is using https://www.libsyn.com for their podcast hosting.

I'm glad you're there to help Keith out otherwise we'd end up with mp3's behind a paywall to download and no modern concessions. You've helped MITD be 2009 instead of 2002. <3 i kid

I did do some early design work before the XM site launched and gave up because somebody was happy to leave the site with the most boring of reactive themes and just ew.

Really?  I just installed beyondpod, and it's behaving exactly like DoggCatcher: loading all the episodes, but not allowing me to download any of them.

It's broken everywhere, not consistent at all. If you downloaded the beta its version .48 but I had the other versions and its still broken. It's being worked on. I even saw it also breaks on ios last night.

Maybe someone should ask the mysterious universe assholes how they got their shit to work correctly.

Is M.U password protected?

It was definitely rushed to production, I won't argue that.  We could have used a good two weeks of testing.  I built this feed thing, was contacted on Friday and in production on Monday.    I am in contact with Keith on a daily basis with the issues along with looking at other more dedicated options.

That being said, I'm not having any issues on beyond pod >= 47.  When I contacted them their .44 release introduced a bunch of bugs preventing the downloads from amazon.

.47 I ran but had issues. Did you make changes? If so link me the apk please

You should communicate more specifically to Keith, he should never have gone on the air that night and said BeyondPod was officially supported. I can't imagine the amount of tickets that's likely generated. Further, I sent him error logs etc and he was responding but stopped(he's got plenty of stuff to do so whatever). So I don't know to what extent he thinks this works but going on the air and saying RSS is good to go and giving an application when it's far far far from ready was a bit presumptuous on his part.

Sadly, it's almost just easier to login via the browser and listen via a backgrounded Chrome tab at this point. That said, this show leaving all these people on the rocks will generate tickets and also sales for the person that's most receptive to getting all the layers in order.

I have no doubt it's been a pain in the ass, podcasts were essentially never meant to be security auth'd so with the few of them (Streamlink/Coast Insider was one of the only ones I ever had) that exist there have always been bumps due to the layering to attempt to mitigate bandwidth/content loss. Ironically it works JUST FINE on iOS. -_- so there are probably a lot more users on Podcasts iOS than us group of Android users.

Let me ask, have you used even one application that just WORKS at this point in time? Because while this interests me from the development side, I already am a developer and handle plenty of my own bugs. So i just want something to work. This is not a finger pointed at you at all, rather- I've paid for about every premium app thinking i'd give it a chance and every-single-one has issues. So if something is work i'd just hush up and wait for the kinks to iron out.

It's not BP that's unstable. It's the authentication handshake being wonky. I get the same authentication errors on/off with Podcast Addicts, Pocket Casts and a few others. Where as the same applications handshake and download just fine every other stream. This isn't uncommon though, there is a lot of meat to configuring a podcast on AWS S3.

.48 manual sideload.

Further, BeyondPod (4.0 beta)constantly errors downloading. Podcast Maniac reports a server download refusal. Pocket Cast works but it's just all over the place a mess as far as downloading is concerned.

As it stands right now streaming won't work.  Keith mentioned to me he is considering changing the expire time to 3 hours  or something to accommodate the streaming ability in every app.   Please download them first and then listen.  Unless you are one of the couple million old people still on AOL dialup, it only takes about a minute or two to download them.

No, i have strong LTE and strong WiFi in my life without caps on either. The kinks are being straightened out now as far as stream/dl reliability. My contention is that streaming is ideal, and if it's loosened to 3hrs to allow for streamers not wanting to download it'll be great.

I'm working on putting some instructions together for a couple apps so Keith can post them on the site.  My regular job keeps getting in the way.

Do you find consistent results? I keep getting server errors with BeyondPod pro it results in 'Preparing Stream' forever and then 'Playback Error'. I get better results streaming but no downloading from Pocket Casts and Podcast Addicts does have error messages that come back as a server refusal. So i don't think at all it's the links. The server still has some wonkiness in it's tolerance of download. Hopefully getting hammered out

Pocket Cast does not support authenticated feeds.  You'll need to choose a different podcast app unfortunately.   http://www.shiftyjelly.com/support/pocketcasts#11

I recommend DownCast personally.

Pocket Casts works, when it works. You have to encode the username / pass properly as is explained. You just have to replace your @ in email to __ and it works.

Is ANYBODY having stable ongoing success? The rss feed starts to play, for a session i can hop between podcasts on Pocket Casts. After an hour or so it then consistently errors out if I pause/resume. A different app, Podcast Addict actually helpfully gives back an error that the server is refusing connection and BeyondPod just drops connection and won't stream, refuses the actual download. I've been testing all the apps to see if something would be more amenable.

My conclusion is whatever is server side, hopefully gets pounded out.

For the more granular tech folks, this has been tested across LTE/WiFi and multiple devices. On all of those connections and devices all other podcasts work fine. All the effort being put on our side is for not as they're still getting server config streamlined.

Thanks, that'd be great. I'm burning through a ton of bandwidth on my server, I've throttled back to 4 MB/s since we have a decent seed base.

I'm going through close to 500gb a day -.- haha. Thats in addition to the 300+gb a day another server is doing, plus whatever other seeders are out there![attachimg=1]

We need to get it out there so the swarm becomes larger than just 1st day adopters. I'm going to let it go onwards in night hours. I have some places to get it tweeted out to larger audiences.

@williedee I'm making good. 3Megabytes/s down and 1Megabyte/s up. Big guns firing. I'll keep this up until we get a bigger hive going.

This makes me moist.

I'm totally on target, i just want to put my seeds everywhere. #torrents

Pretty close, January had to take care of some personal stuff, so we are just starting on 1998 now, only a few years left

I have 1 last load of shows coming in from some people, after I get done integrating them I will finalize it and release. I'm for completion within the week. I'm excited too!

: crickets : The tension mounts.

Thanks! I didn't even know they made memory sticks that large.
Looked them up and surprised how inexpensive they are now.

You may want to look into how inexpensive 2TB HDD are on Amazon. That would give you much more space to spare as well as enough to DL the full torrent without compromise.

@williedee I do indeed. He submitted a box full of VHS tapes, believe it or not. The whole of his body of work was recorded on VHS. So they got this big mess of a situation encoding a lot of the shows in this torrent from analog VHS tapes.
