Libricasts

Tool to automate fixing and uploading rss feeds from librivox.org to Pocketcasts

Background

Have you tried importing your favourite public domain audiobooks into your favourite podcast app but it doesn't work? error screenshot

The details are listed here in this great reddit post but the gist is that the librivox rss file has the publish date commented out, but pocketcasts requires it to be there.

This tool automates the process of fixing the rss file, uploding it to Github Gist then generating the PocketCasts url.

Usage

Go to https://libricasts.adhipk.dev/ and search for the title of the audiobook you want to import. demo screenshot Select the audiobook and click generate pocketcasts link, this will generate a pocketcasts link for the audiobook.

  1. Clone the repo

    • git clone https://github.com/adhipk/libricasts.git

  2. Install the requirements

  3. Setup Redis store, this will cache Github gist urls, preventing redundant rss file uploads.

  4. Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the values
