podsync VS Podgrab

this is not something you would host and share with everyone, as transcoding is not cheap to host, it only makes sense for personal use only, also stuff like podsync has existed for a long time, which is basically the same thing missing the transcoding.

Completely unrelated to Tailscale, another option is Cloudflare Tunnel. It will also traverse CGNAT and expose your Plex server to the public internet. The only limitation here is that you must have a subdomain. I have my own paid one, but I don't see why you couldn't use something like https://freedns.afraid.org/ to get a free subdomain. Cloudflare Tunnel is completely free, and it comes with free TLS too. I use it with podsync to watch YouTube using my podcasting app and make the feeds available to my friends as well (which would be more hassle if we used Tailscale).

I'll turn them into podcasts with tools like Listenbox, YouCast, Podsync

Another option is podsync

If you’re technically minded you can spin up your own instance of https://github.com/mxpv/podsync - I ran one on Amazon S3 for a while until I found listenbox - but you could run on your own server too.

If you have the expertise to do so, the best way to consume YouTube is to use PodSync to map channels to RSS feeds consumable by any standard podcast player. No algorithm, no ads, just the content you actually want to see.

I'm looking to setup https://github.com/mxpv/podsync but I've have numerous issues with mapping the config file.

I use Podgrab[0].

Light footprint, easy to use -- and no reliance on Google or anyone else.

I found a great tool for myself as a programmer here but not everybody knows how to set that up https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab. So I build a simple little website here for anybody who has the same problem.

How does it compare to podgrab?

I created an alternative for [Podgrab](https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab) named [PodFetch](https://github.com/SamTV12345/PodFetch) it contains more features than Podgrab and also includes many bug fixes like a local RSS feed. (Bonus: The backend is written in Rust :D ). You can search podcasts via iTunes or via PodcastIndex.org, download, find local podcasts or subscribe to the local rss feeds.

Podgrab to download my podcasts

I am thinking that if users are willing to automate a workflow to download new episodes to their Plex Library ( just came across podgrab (https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab) which makes me think automating episode download to Plex library should be easy. And then your podcast app can do the magic you have done with Prologue.

It looks like there's an option to export an OPML file containing Podgrab feed links, which could then be imported into any application (I like AntennaPod)
