Show HN: Turn YouTube playlists into video podcasts

Hi HN! I made this little server thing to turn YouTube playlists (and channels) into a RSS feed that my podcast player could read, with direct links to the videos.

I made it so I could follow some Spanish radio shows which have an audio podcast but upload extra content to YouTube, so I could follow right along my other podcasts. This way I get precise markers of where I left off, viewed/not views indicators, etc...

I've been using it for quite some time, with no problems whatsoever. However, I just released an update which lets you use it with iTunes; and removes the requirement for a YouTube API key.

I have a public instance at https://tubecaster.now.sh . It is heavily cached. You can use it to try the program, but please deploy it to your own server if you plan on using it further! Also, I might break something from time to time, so better not to rely on that public instance.

At any rate, tell me what you think and if you find it useful! Thanks!

Hi podcast lover and glad to meet someone like me :)

I've made podmytube.com with this same goal :)

At the only difference I'm asking the youtuber to be the customer of this service. For free (with less than 3 videos/month) he may have a podcast automatically created from his channel.

Playlists may be generated too but he need to subscribe before (9€/month).

I say it again but I'm REALLY happy to meet another podcast lover :)
