Peertube: Add RSS and syndication feeds

[dadall]

It could be awesome to get the content of a PT instance via a RSS feed, even better with a RSS feed per tags.

---

Implemented in 244e76a552ef05a5067134b1065d26dd89246d8c:

• [x] instance-wide RSS feed
  
  
  
  • [X] json
  
  
  • [X] rss
  
  
  • [X] atom
  
  
  • [X] mrss
  
  
• [X] account-wide RSS feed
  
  
  
  • [X] json
  
  
  • [X] rss
  
  
  • [X] atom
  
  
  • [X] mrss
  
  

Delayed for later implementation

• [x] channel-wide RSS feed
  
  
  
  • [x] json
  
  
  • [x] rss
  
  
  • [x] atom
  
  
  • [x] mrss
  
  
• [ ] ~per-tag RSS feed (as seen by an instance and local to an instance) -> BLOCKED until #60 gets done.~

@dadall What about using Atom instead of RSS?

[yannicka]

Or maybe a JSON Feed? (in replacement or as an alternative to RSS)

[ghost]

@yannicka Thank you, I didn't know JSON Feed.

[r3k2]

Atom/RSS is good because most podcast players need this.. json fine but first Atom/RSS IMO

[ghost]

@ReK2Fernandez I agree with you. I studied a bit JSON feed, it's not really standard. If I wanted to use JSON, I would rather stick to a jsonified version of Atom than a JSON format trying to imitate both RSS and Atom.

This is a core feature that needs to be in ASP as it allows easy setup of home seeboxes based on a torrent app downloading all content and seeding it.
Atom/RSS and what ever... just use a standard libeary.

Seems like https://github.com/jpmonette/feed and https://github.com/dylang/node-rss are the two main libraries dealing with that in Node.

yes please add feed to peertube it would be great !

[qwertygc]

I'We can add a feed by account user for follow a channel.

Second that, would be great to have an rss feed.

[rigelk]

Since we aim to syndicate rich multimedia content, we should maybe have a look at http://www.rssboard.org/media-rss#description

EDIT: just realised it could be interesting to describe what it brings. Basically <media:[stuff]> elements. It can be anything from media:content, media:player, media:peerLink or media:location. For instance peerLink directs to a torrent file. So instead of an attachement we would have a named resource, that MRSS-compatible clients could recognize as such:

<media:peerLink type="application/x-bittorrent" href="http://www.example.org/sampleFile.torrent" />

[rigelk]

I've actually ended up forking jpmonette/feed to rigelk/feed, published as pfeed.

• added torrent enclosure support: https://github.com/rigelk/feed/commit/687fae94d44e45d7f2f1f016edd79f5cd9836567
• added MRSS peerLink support: https://github.com/rigelk/feed/commit/83b3e5a68e3b17d7375fa85002ad13b3ef86b5a6

Implemented the video channel feed: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/commit/e0ea4b1d550d20271a74f1b84e7b3babeec9e0b3

I don't think per-tag feed would be interesting, but if you really want it create another issue :)

[ashledombos]

Hello,

not sure if I should open a specific issue for this, and if it's appropriate, but can you please provide also some syndication feed for peertube's blog :) (Atom would be a better tribute to Aaron Schwartz though ;) )

[Chocobozzz]

@ashledombos Hi, I created the issue on the appropriate repository: https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/joinpeertube/issues/23 :)

[trymeouteh]

Please allow Peertube accounts to have a RSS feed for their own subscribe channels.

[mj-saunders]

Given that #60 is now dealt with, is there anything holding back implementing RSS feed for tags?

[rigelk]

@mj-saunders not that I can think of

[mj-saunders]

Implemented the video channel feed: e0ea4b1

I don't think per-tag feed would be interesting, but if you really want it create another issue :)

Apologies for continuing this here. Have opened #3430
