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.
If the directory lookup fails when you add a show but the feed is valid, the podcast is still added — but it may be listed under its feed URL rather than its name. Remove it and re-add it if the name looks wrong.

​
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 directory lookup failed while the feed succeeded. Remove and re-add it.
Server Setup’s Podcasts toggle, premium, and Embed Links in the channel.
