Adding a podcast

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

Variables

Three offered variables never produce a value:They appear in the variables dropdown but resolve to nothing, and any embed field built only from them is dropped from the message. This is the most common cause of a podcast embed arriving with fewer fields than expected.Do not build an embed around them.
A reliable podcast embed uses {episode.title} as the title, {episode.description} as the body, {episode.url} as the link and {podcast.name} in the footer. Everything else is unreliable.

​
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

{episode.duration} is always empty and its field is dropped. Remove it from your embed.
Only channel-level artwork inside the feed is used. Many feeds do not include it. Use a static image URL in the embed instead.
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.
