Changes for version 1.80 - 2021-11-10

  • This turned into a major release with many improvements to handling podcasts, particularly metadata fetching and handling of podcast pages and the multi-episode playlists they can return.
  • Refactor podcast modules to always return full metadata for the first (latest) episode for podcast pages (as if they had been called with the id/URL for the first episode itself - ie. the "description" field, etc. often had that of the podcast page itself instead of that of the first episode). Also have the podcast modules always return a full extended m3u playlist when $podcast->get('playlist') is called. This affects StreamFinder::Apple, ::Castbox, ::Google, and ::Spreaker.
  • Also make "genre" and "year" fields work in all of the above, and ensure the genre and album fields are included in the m3u playlist (#EXTGENRE and #EXTALB lines) in all of the above.
  • Also reverse "artist" and "album" fields in all of the above: I was never sure which field was which for podcasts (as most appear similar) but some actually used them for the artist(s)' names and the podcast name, and we had them reversed.
  • Add new "playlist" option to the $podcast->count() function to return the number of episodes in the playlist instead of the number of streams returned (for the first episode) in all of the above.
  • StreamFinder::Apple - Make podcast pages work again (Apple changed their code some) - episode pages were still working though.
  • StreamFinder::IHeartRadio (Podcasts), ::Tunein (Podcasts), and ::SermonAudio (non-Sermon pages): Add ability to accept podcast pages and return the first (latest) episode when given a podcast page URL: (IHeartRadio returned the oldest (last) one rather than latest (first) due to their podcast pages sometimes having them listed in reverse order. Tunein did not return anything for a podcast page, only for specific podcast episode pages).
