podcast

Package podcast generates a fully compliant iTunes and RSS 2.0 podcast feed for GoLang using a simple API.

Full documentation with detailed examples located at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast

Usage

To use, go get and import the package like your typical GoLang library.

$ go get -u github.com/eduncan911/podcast

import "github.com/eduncan911/podcast"

The API exposes a number of method receivers on structs that implements the logic required to comply with the specifications and ensure a compliant feed. A number of overrides occur to help with iTunes visibility of your episodes.

Notably, the Podcast.AddItem function performs most of the heavy lifting by taking the Item input and performing validation, overrides and duplicate setters through the feed.

Full detailed Examples of the API are at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast.

Go Modules

This library is supported on GoLang 1.7 and higher.

We have implemented Go Modules support and the CI pipeline shows it working with new installs, tested with Go 1.13. To keep 1.7 compatibility, we use go mod vendor to maintain the vendor/ folder for older 1.7 and later runtimes.

If either runtime has an issue, please create an Issue and I will address.

Extensibility

For version 1.x, you are not restricted in having full control over your feeds. You may choose to skip the API methods and instead use the structs directly. The fields have been grouped by RSS 2.0 and iTunes fields with iTunes specific fields all prefixed with the letter I.

However, do note that the 2.x version currently in progress will break this extensibility and enforce API methods going forward. This is to ensure that the feed can both be marshalled, and unmarshalled back and forth (current 1.x branch can only be unmarshalled - hence the work for 2.x).

Fuzzing Inputs

go-fuzz has been added in 1.4.1, covering all exported API methods. They have been ran extensively and no issues have come out of them yet (most tests were ran overnight, over about 11 hours with zero crashes).

If you wish to help fuzz the inputs, with Go 1.13 or later you can run go-fuzz on any of the inputs.

go get -u github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz/go-fuzz
go get -u github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz/go-fuzz-build
go get -u github.com/eduncan911/podcast
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/eduncan911/podcast
go-fuzz-build
go-fuzz -func FuzzPodcastAddItem

To obtain a list of available funcs to pass, just run go-fuzz without any parameters:

$ go-fuzz
2020/02/13 07:27:32 -func flag not provided, but multiple fuzz functions available:
FuzzItemAddDuration, FuzzItemAddEnclosure, FuzzItemAddImage, FuzzItemAddPubDate,
FuzzItemAddSummary, FuzzPodcastAddAtomLink, FuzzPodcastAddAuthor, FuzzPodcastAddCategory,
FuzzPodcastAddImage, FuzzPodcastAddItem, FuzzPodcastAddLastBuildDate, FuzzPodcastAddPubDate,
FuzzPodcastAddSubTitle, FuzzPodcastAddSummary, FuzzPodcastBytes, FuzzPodcastEncode,
FuzzPodcastNew

If you do find an issue, please raise an issue immediately and I will quickly address.

Roadmap

The 1.x branch is now mostly in maintenance mode, open to PRs. This means no more planned features on the 1.x feature branch is expected. With the success of 6 iTunes-accepted podcasts I have published with this library, and with the feedback from the community, the 1.x releases are now considered stable.

The 2.x branch's primary focus is to allow for bi-direction marshalling both ways. Currently, the 1.x branch only allows unmarshalling to a serial feed. An attempt to marshall a serialized feed back into a Podcast form will error or not work correctly. Note that while the 2.x branch is targeted to remain backwards compatible, it is true if using the public API funcs to set parameters only. Several of the underlying public fields are being removed in order to accommodate the marshalling of serialized data. Therefore, a version 2.x is denoted for this release.

Versioning

We use SemVer versioning schema. You can rest assured that pulling 1.x branches will remain backwards compatible now and into the future.

However, the new 2.x branch, while keeping the same API, is expected break those that bypass the API methods and use the underlying public properties instead.

Item represents a single entry in a podcast.

Article minimal requirements are:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Link

Audio minimal requirements are:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Enclosure (HREF, Type and Length all required)

Recommendations:

  • Setting the minimal fields sets most of other fields, including iTunes.
  • Use the Published time.Time setting instead of PubDate.
  • Always set an Enclosure.Length, to be nice to your downloaders.
  • Use Enclosure.Type instead of setting TypeFormatted for valid extensions.

func (*Item) AddDuration

func (i *Item) AddDuration(durationInSeconds int64)

AddDuration adds the duration to the iTunes duration field.

Example:
Click to expand code. 
i := podcast.Item{
	    Title:       "item title",
	    Description: "item desc",
	    Link:        "item link",
	}
	d := int64(533)
	
	// add the Duration in Seconds
	i.AddDuration(d)
	
	fmt.Println(i.IDuration)
	// Output:
	// 8:53

func (*Item) AddEnclosure

func (i *Item) AddEnclosure(
    url string, enclosureType EnclosureType, lengthInBytes int64)

AddEnclosure adds the downloadable asset to the podcast Item.

func (*Item) AddImage

func (i *Item) AddImage(url string)

AddImage adds the image as an iTunes-only IImage. RSS 2.0 does not have the specification of Images at the Item level.

Podcast feeds contain artwork that is a minimum size of 1400 x 1400 pixels and a maximum size of 3000 x 3000 pixels, 72 dpi, in JPEG or PNG format with appropriate file extensions (.jpg, .png), and in the RGB colorspace. To optimize images for mobile devices, Apple recommends compressing your image files.

func (*Item) AddPubDate

func (i *Item) AddPubDate(datetime *time.Time)

AddPubDate adds the datetime as a parsed PubDate.

UTC time is used by default.

Example:
Click to expand code. 
p := podcast.New("title", "link", "description", nil, nil)
	i := podcast.Item{
	    Title:       "item title",
	    Description: "item desc",
	    Link:        "item link",
	}
	d := pubDate.AddDate(0, 0, -11)
	
	// add the pub date
	i.AddPubDate(&d)
	
	// before adding
	if i.PubDate != nil {
	    fmt.Println(i.PubDateFormatted, *i.PubDate)
	}
	
	// this should not override with Podcast.PubDate
	if _, err := p.AddItem(i); err != nil {
	    fmt.Println(err)
	}
	
	// after adding item
	fmt.Println(i.PubDateFormatted, *i.PubDate)
	// Output:
	// Tue, 24 Jan 2017 08:21:52 +0000 2017-01-24 08:21:52 +0000 UTC
	// Tue, 24 Jan 2017 08:21:52 +0000 2017-01-24 08:21:52 +0000 UTC

	p := podcast.New(ti, l, d, &pubDate, &updatedDate)
	
	fmt.Println(p.Title, p.Link, p.Description, p.Language)
	fmt.Println(p.PubDate, p.LastBuildDate)
	// Output:
	// title link description en-us

func (*Podcast) AddImage

func (p *Podcast) AddImage(url string)

To optimize images for mobile devices, Apple recommends compressing your image files.

	// Output:
	// http://example.com/image.jpg
	// http://example.com/image.jpg

func (*Podcast) AddItem

func (p *Podcast) AddItem(i Item) (int, error)

AddItem adds the podcast episode. It returns a count of Items added or any errors in validation that may have occurred.

This method takes the "itunes overrides" approach to populating itunes tags according to the overrides rules in the specification. This not only complies completely with iTunes parsing rules; but, it also displays what is possible to be set on an individual episode level – if you wish to have more fine grain control over your content.

This method imposes strict validation of the Item being added to confirm to Podcast and iTunes specifications.

Article minimal requirements are:

* Title
* Description
* Link

Audio, Video and Downloads minimal requirements are:

* Title
* Description
* Enclosure (HREF, Type and Length all required)

The following fields are always overwritten (don't set them):

* GUID
* PubDateFormatted
* AuthorFormatted
* Enclosure.TypeFormatted
* Enclosure.LengthFormatted

Recommendations:

* Just set the minimal fields: the rest get set for you.
* Always set an Enclosure.Length, to be nice to your downloaders.
* Follow Apple's best practices to enrich your podcasts:

	// create an Item
	date := pubDate.AddDate(0, 0, 77)
	item := podcast.Item{
	    Title:       "Episode 1",
	    Description: "Description for Episode 1",
	    ISubtitle:   "A simple episode 1",
	    PubDate:     &date,
