LSBC

Lightweight Symfony Broadcast Client, probably.

A small platform to create podcasts and episodes, host the audio files and share the RSS feed, with external sources download abilities.

Features include:

• Lightweight, bare minimum pages;
• Simple backoffice;
• Separate users manage their own podcasts;
• A download service to add episodes from an API or the command-line by providing a URL to download and a podcast slug; this service forwards everything to yt-dlp (download) and FFProbe (metadata);

Podcasts follow mostly open standards but the “target” client is the fantastic AntennaPod, and gPodder was used in development.
