Are there any good server-based podcast managers out there?

I am particularly interested in these features:

  • Follow podcast feeds
  • Stream podcasts in the browser
  • Remember where I paused across devices
  • Also works on mobile via web or app

    Something I have found is missing from both of these suggestions as well as every podcast app on device is transcoding to speed up so it is not sped up on the fly. For a lot of phones and other devices the task of playing back at 2x speed is enough to demand a higher power state than what is required to play a sped up file. For efficiency doing a single pass of speeding up the audio then playing back at that speed would use less power during the playback phase, allowing you to download and speed up all of your podcasts at home while on charge then listen for long periods without completely killing the battery. I have checked with a few if the open source devs and this is not a feature they see utility for so nobody intends to make it.

      could you like run a cron job to speed up the audiofiles after download? using maybe ffmpeg? might be a better way

    I use Gpoddersync on Nextcloud as the subscription/watched service, Kasts as the desktop app and Antennapod for Android. I think there’s a Podder webapp for Nextcloud that uses the sync data as well, but I’ve never used it.

    I have no idea about podcasts. But since no one mentioned it yet, perhaps take a look at Funkwhale. It’s a decentralised platform, like Lemmy, for music and podcasts.

      Have you managed to selfhost it ? Funkwhale looks great, but the installation process with another proxy than nginx in a container setup is far from ready and accessible to hobby selfhosters.

      If you have no idea about proxies and headers forwarder… just don’t waste your time and go straight to audiobookshelf !

        Thanks for the warning. From all the comments in this post, I think audiobookshelf is certainly a great option!
