Daniel15 / Downcast

Basic downloader for podcast-style feeds, eg. from Soundcloud or iTunes.

Downcast

This is a downloader for podcast-style feeds, for example from Soundcloud or iTunes, often used by DJs to share their mixes. It sorts them into a directory structure suitable for use with Plex (one folder per episode).

Supported Providers

• Mixcloud
• Any provider that uses RSS feeds (eg. Soundcloud, iTunes, etc)

Usage

Native (non-Docker)

1. Install .NET 6.0
2. Modify appsettings.json to contain the correct URLs. Use https://getrssfeed.com/ to find the RSS URL for a Soundcloud account
3. Run dotnet run --dry-run to see what would be downloaded
4. Run dotnet run to actually download the files

Docker

1. Create a settings JSON file (see example appsettings.json in the repo)
2. Run the container, mounting the settings file at /app/appsettings.json and the download folder somewhere reasonable (matching the config):

docker run \
  --rm \
  --mount type=bind,source="/var/local/docker/downcast.json",target=/app/appsettings.json \
  --mount type=bind,source="/mnt/user/media/music-mixes/",target=/mixes \
  daniel15/downcast:latest \
  --dry-run

3. Remove --dry-run to actually download the files.
