podkit: playlist URL to private podcast feed
One Go binary with fetch / tag / feed / serve / all. The stages run separately on purpose: the download is the slow part and should not be repeated while adjusting titles or the base URL. Built from a shell + Python + Go sketch. The pieces that needed fixing on the way, all of which produce a feed that loads wrong or not at all: - Enclosure URLs were unescaped. Track titles routinely contain spaces and ampersands, which make both the URL and the XML invalid — the likeliest way for a feed to fail to load entirely. Only the final path segment is escaped; escaping the base would mangle scheme and host. - Ordering came from filename sort, which is correct only while zero-padding is applied consistently. One unpadded file puts lecture 10 after lecture 1. Order now comes from the parsed track number. - No pubDate and no itunes:type. Podcast clients default to newest-first, which starts a lecture course at the final lecture. Items now carry distinct ascending dates and the feed is marked serial. - Missing channel description and link, which several clients reject outright. - A struct field with no xml tag emitted a stray <EnclosureURL> element. - guid had no isPermaLink="false", so a reader may treat it as a fetchable URL. - Errors from ReadDir, Info and Marshal were discarded, so a missing directory produced an empty feed that looked like a working setup with nothing in it. - os.Args indexed without a length check. Beyond the sketch: a download archive so an interrupted series resumes, an up-front check for yt-dlp and ffmpeg before the long download rather than a post-processing failure after the bytes are on disk, non-audio files excluded by extension so cover art and .part files cannot become episodes, and a serve command with token gating that 404s rather than 401s. Found by the first live run against a LibriVox collection: sources whose own titles begin with a track number came out as "01 - 01 - April.mp3", because the output template prepends the playlist index regardless. Collapsed, but only when the two numbers agree — "01 - 1964 - Lecture" is a year and "05 - 12 Angry Men" is a title, and neither is a repeat. 47 tests. Verified end to end against public-domain audio: downloaded, converted, tagged, served, and the delivered file is a playable 128kbps MP3 with correct ID3 title/artist/album/track frames.
