This allows your LibreTime instance to automatically download new shows from the web. In order to add a podcast you need to get the RSS feed. All podcasts available on iTunes have a RSS feed but it is sometimes hidden. See this issue on our github page [#510](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/issues/510) for more information. RSS feeds that do not end in *.xml* may be accepted by LibreTime but might fail to download episodes; in that case, download the episode using a podcast client such as [gpodder](https://gpodder.github.io/) and then manually upload and schedule the episode. Podcast feeds coming from Anchor.fm have been known to have this issue. -The podcast interfaces provides you with the ability generate [Smartblocks](../smartblocks) that can be used in conjunction with [Autoloading Playlists](../calendar/#autoloading-playlist) to schedule the newest episode of a podcast without human intervention. +The podcast interfaces provides you with the ability to generate [Smartblocks](../smartblocks) that can be used in conjunction with [Autoloading Playlists](../calendar/#autoloading-playlist) to schedule the newest episode of a podcast without human intervention. ##Video Tutorials## Coming Soon -The podcasts dashboard +Dashboard ---------------------- -![](Podcasts_Dashboard.png) +![](static/Podcasts_Dashboard.png) -The podcasts editor +The podcasts dashboard is similar to the tracks view, allowing you to add, edit, and remove +podcasts by the toolbar, in addition to sorting by columns.
