Is there something already that runs yt-dlp on a server and outputs an rss feed / podcast of the results?

@Liaizon Wakest I've written the opposite, a tool to grab the RSS feed and then yt-dlp it? Though because google changes youtube every single day it's usually out of date. I have some tools that could probably do it - what's your needs?

SoundCloud already had RSS built in, but it's a little awkward to access a link:

A SoundCloud RSS feed looks like this:

feeds.soundcloud.com/users/sou…

You can find the UserID (here, 123456789) by examining the HTML source code of the home page for the SoundCloud user. Look for a string like this:

<link rel="alternate" href="android-app://com.soundcloud.android/soundcloud/users:123456789">

@bobjonkman @silverwizard interesting to see that the rss feed exists but it doesn't seem to contain any content for the accounts I just checked, each account probably has to enable it, which defeats the point I would like to use this for

Bob Jonkman reshared this.

Hm. I haven't had any trouble podcatching anything from SoundCloud, although sometimes the .mp3 files are slightly corrupt

Mind you, I'm mostly downloading things like news shows and other radio broadcasts, not albums or music tracks.

Metadata? Don't know. The podcatcher downloads the file but doesn't put it in the playlist. It plays just fine from the download folder.
