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.<p>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&#x2F;not views indicators, etc...<p>I&#x27;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.<p>I have a public instance at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tubecaster.now.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tubecaster.now.sh</a> . 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.<p>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 :)<p>I&#x27;ve made podmytube.com with this same goal :)<p>At the only difference I&#x27;m asking the youtuber to be the customer of this service. For free (with less than 3 videos&#x2F;month) he may have a podcast automatically created from his channel.<p>Playlists may be generated too but he need to subscribe before (9€&#x2F;month).<p>I say it again but I&#x27;m REALLY happy to meet another podcast lover :)
