​
Adding a podcast

Search by name. Vetox looks the show up in a podcast directory and stores its feed.

Variables

The default embed shows the episode’s artwork as its thumbnail and its length as a Duration field. A field whose value the feed does not provide is left out of the message.

​
What is announced

Checked every 5 minutes with a 5-minute cooldown per show, reading the show’s feed directly rather than the directory. Same behaviour as RSS: no per-poll cap, a 2-hour age cutoff on items with readable dates, and a 7-day seen-list. The same fetch limits apply to the show’s feed — it must answer within 10 seconds, stay under 5 MB, and redirect no more than 3 times.
The show’s name comes from its feed, not from the directory. The directory is only used to find the feed URL; adding the show then fetches and parses that feed to read the title and artwork.If the feed cannot be fetched or parsed, the show is still added — there is no validation gate here, unlike RSS — and it is listed under its feed URL rather than its name, with no artwork. A show listed by URL means the feed failed, not the directory. Remove it and re-add it, or check the feed opens in a browser as XML.

​
Troubleshooting

The feed does not give that episode a length, so the field is left out.
Vetox uses the episode’s own artwork, else the show’s artwork from its feed. If the feed carries neither, set a static image URL in a custom embed.
The feed could not be fetched or parsed when you added the show, so its title was never read. Check the feed opens as XML in a browser, then remove and re-add it.

The same feed machinery, for any RSS or Atom feed.
