I've got a podcast where the episodes appear out of order in the Tangara menu. I don't think it's a bug as this podcast has very patchy, frequently contradictory metadata. I'm going to manually repair the metadata, so I'd welcome any wisdom on how podcast sorting etc works (i.e. what metadata drives it).

How does podcast metadata work?

I'm going to manually repair the metadata, so I'd welcome any wisdom on how podcast sorting etc works (i.e. what metadata drives it). Atm I think they're just sorted lexicographically from the title. There's a PR though that adds sorting based on the year tag (which podcasts ime tend to use for the release date). I could have sworn it was merged already but I just checked and it's still open (https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tang.../pulls/307) (probably my bad for marking it as WIP - I was just being a bit cautious with the database migrations). Thanks for the prompt to follow up on that. 
Thanks, I'll add 'E01', 'E02' etc prefixes to the titles and se how that goes.
Hmmm, that fixed the ordering but I also have three phantom episodes with the old names now! I think the database indexer might not de-index podcast episodes when the name changes. |
