A sneak peek at a techy thing: how Apple Podcasts HLS streams work.
Some may/will have better information than I do here; but I’m publishing this later today, and would, of course, welcome any feedback of the things I’ve got wrong. Feel free to quietly do that via email if it helps - editor@podnews.net will find me.
Of note - advertisers *can* require their ads not to be skippable, according to the spec. But we don't know whether Apple Podcasts is going to honour that.

"Theoretically, though, this does mean that the same HLS feed should work if you were to put it into an alternateEnclosure for other podcast apps, and should also work just fine on Android or other devices. There’s nothing proprietary here - just a carefully constructed HLS master playlist. And that’s good news for all of us."
Great to hear!
At Fountain we have many podcasters publishing HLS video with every episode. @james any thoughts on the best way to contact Apple?

@james how many of the apparent 400k are watching 3D podcasts in a headset? This is not the future I want

@james no shippable ads would be a app breaker for me if implemented and adhered to by Apple.

The ability to receive a comment alongside a payment to a Lightning Address is configured by the Lightning Address server - it's defined here - https://github.com/lnurl/luds/blob/luds/12.md
To include the comment you pass it as a query string parameter in the pay request like ?comment={rss::payment...}
Most Lightning Address providers support this feature - Fountain, Strike, Primal, Alby etc
@ChadF what receiving wallet did you test with that wasn't accepting the comment param?

@mitch @francosolerio @merryoscar
I'm on my own node but I think AlbyHub is the same everywhere and I'm just running it on my own hardware.
Take Castamatic for example, I'm logging in with Alby using my email and password like always but now it's just on my own hardware and not Albys.
I was wondering if how you connect to Alby makes a difference because Castamatic seems to work better with BoostBox than my app does.

@francosolerio @ChadF hmm I suppose it would make sense if the ability to receive a memo with an lnaddress is configured on the recipients LN node itself? And since Alby lets people connect their own node, there would be no guarantee that an “Alby wallet” accepts a memo with an LN-Invoice? Are you bringing your own node by chance?
@merryoscar could you help shed some light on the lnaddress memo behavior? Is it controlled by the LN node? I’m probably getting some of my terminology wrong…
