Thanks @npub137c…y0lh for bringing this up!
We've looked really at the presence of the `link` tag with the `alternate` attribute, which would point to a separate feed. We've *not* checked the `alternateEnclosure` from the podcast namespace, which allows switching formats within a single feed. AntennaPod never supported that, but that's probably the smarter way forward. Do you know if PI has data on podcasts' alternateEnclosure usage? Would be interesting to get some stats to support a feature request.

We discussed adding back support for the 'alternate link' tag in #AntennaPod. Past versions allowed users to easily switch between e.g. a video and audio version of a podcast when subscribing.
Support for it got dropped with another change and I felt we should add back support for this long-standing standard.
Alas: it's hardly used (if at all) nowadays. I guess all video just is on YouTube now.

That's super interesting - love your blog post :-)
Any thoughts on how the Web Number should fit in the vCard format? A specific type of URL? Or maybe a SERVICE TYPE of a SOCIAL PROFILE?
(I just read a bit about this standard https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9554.html#name-socialprofile)

Hi @npub1rcn…dw4h,
Sorry to bother you. An AntennaPod user reported they can't find a podcast. I found the podcast via the API by iTunes ID (404846). The title field is as expected ("Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews"). When entering the exact title in either /search/byterm or /search/bytitle, nothing is found, though. Any ideas?
