@dave @ericpp Fountain doesn't currently support alternate enclosure for liveItems - only for regular items.If the HLS stream in the main liveItem enclosure supports video then we do support it.

@nathan @dave @ericpp actually - it may be that we do actually support this đ
we prioritised alternate enclosure video for regular items because I noticed that if a podcaster wanted to add video to their livestreams - they would just use HLS in the main enclosure with video supportbut it looks like our parsing will actually pick this up - however I haven't tested so we'll have to see on Friday!either way if it's not supported we'll add soon

I've written an article / guide on how Fountain publishes podcast payment metadata using nostr - https://primal.net/merryoscar/open-podcast-payments-with-bitcoin-and-nostrI know not everyone's sold on nostr - but this approach is working today and allows podcast payments to display in other nostr clients (see example in the article) - there's no reason we can't have the same interop between podcast apps.I know @ChadF and @ericpp are experimenting which is great to see.I'm also working on a JS library with sample code - will share soon.

@ChadF @csb @cbrooklyn112 I asked for specifics on what issues he was experiencing with Fountain but didn't hear anything back.I am here and always open to hearing feedback so anyone can tag me and report issues or suggestions for how we can improve things.

I know the switch from keysend to lnaddress is hard - but it will be worth it once more wallets and neobanks adopt Lightning Address.For example here in the UK - Revolut has 10m UK customers - they are adding support for Lightning - https://www.lightspark.com/news/lightspark/revolut-lightspark-announcementWill they support keysend? I'd say there's less than 1% chance.But Lightning Address is becoming the standard and if 10m Revolut users get access to a Lightning Address that will open the door to more adoption of Podcasting 2.0

@dave yes it is supported - I just checked our backend logic and we were only checking for:type = 'video/mp4', 'application/x-mpegURL'in the feed it's 'application.x-mpegURL'slight difference between the / and . - not sure what that is exactly but I've updated our backend to support it - so if you check the episode in fountain now you should see the option to switch to video.it's working - but for some reason the video version seems to be only ~10mins long - might be an issue on our side

I know my previous nostr-based payment metadata solution didn't really get adoption from other PC20 apps - so me and @dovydas have come up with a much simpler solution for LNAddress payment metadata:https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/pull/734TLDR - we use the BOLT11 invoice description field to add a rss::payment prefix along with a URL that returns the full metadata in a x-rss-payment header.From today all LNAddress payments sent from Fountain will use this metadata approach - so feel free to start testing!

Here's an example payment link - https://fountain.fm/episode/JCIzq3VyFKQVkEzVNA8v?payment=5XIAt66P29Iv6rjSTZUBAnd here's how you can query the JSON programatically via curl:curl -I -s -o /dev/null -w '%header{x-rss-payment}' "https://fountain.fm/episode/JCIzq3VyFKQVkEzVNA8v?payment=5XIAt66P29Iv6rjSTZUB"(note this is URI encoded JSON string)

@csb @dave @adam @js It looks like the lnaddress for this episode item split is invalid:podcastindex.getalby.comshould be podcastindex@getalby.com rather than a . between handle and domain

@dave would love to see a short video walkthrough of how you are working with the model in your IDE!

FYI @adam we are seeing LNURL payment failures to the main No Agenda Show split: no_agenda_show@strike.me{ "status": "ERROR", "reason": "Invalid amount, minimum is 100 and maximum is 16000000"}What's strange is the other strike lnaddress splits are all working despite them having lower splits:clip_custodian@strike.merubblizer@strike.meMaybe caused by a setting in Strike? Is your "Receive currency" set to Bitcoin in settings? Maybe the minimum only applies when receiving USD?

@algrid @james @podcastguru @algrid I know it's probably annoying but would it be a massive amount of work for you guys to switch to the same spec Fountain and Castamatic are using?https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/pull/734I think we would really turn a corner if we could all align here!
