@samsethi@podcastindex.social Of course you’ve figured it out on TrueFans.fm!
Impressive.

@benpate @phillycodehound we already break up MP3 and MP4 into 6 second packets to stream podcasts on TrueFans.
We allow TrueFans users to also download the whole file for offline use.
HLS uses the same tech for 6 second packets but also has adaptive rates based on playback device/bandwidth. So you can have multiple files stored by the host e.g 320k, 720k, 1080p or 4K etc

@evoterra@podvibes.co do you have a favorite Fiction podcast? Can you choose a top one? Or if you can’t what’s one you’re enjoying right now?

HLS is a near-perfect protocol, and makes all kinds of streaming so much better (and almost for free, too)
How will this work with Podcasting software? I think of a podcast as a pre-downloaded media file, where the benefits of HLS are lost. or is this for playing things I haven’t downloaded yet?
