Funkwhale 1.1-rc2 was published this morning and should fix several regressions and bugs that where reported in the first update :)

https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/releases/1.1-rc2

We're proud to announce the upcoming release of Funkwhale 1.1 around March 15.

For the first time in Funkwhale's history, this release was supervised and published entirely by Georg, a new maintainer of the project, instead of our usual @agateblue ;)

Georg has published the first release candidate today, and we encourage admins to give it a try and share their feedback so we can spot and correct bugs and regressions.

You can learn more about this release at https://blog.funkwhale.audio/~/Announcements/first-release-candidate-for-funkwhale-1.1, and https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/amoT1YnA/incoming-funkwhale-release-1-1-call-for-tests-and-translations will give you all the instructions to update and share your feedback.

Many, many thanks who to all the people who contributed to this release and to the project as a whole ❤️

@4ioskd thank you !

@4ioskd that's because we're still looking for new maintainers, cf https://blog.funkwhale.audio/~/Announcements/funkwhale-is-looking-for-new-maintainers ;)

@paulakreuzer waow, this is amazing, thank you for sharing 💜

@cda made a live talk about Funkwhale and decentralized podcasting as part of the Chaos Communication Congress, and you can view the recording here if you're interested : https://media.ccc.de/v/rc3-520410-funkwhale_and_the_importance_of_decentralized_podcasting

It's a great introduction to the project as well as how we actually integrated #podcasting into the app itself earlier this year!

@lclaude hello, généralement ça indique que tu ne lance pas la commande depuis le virtualenv de Funkwhale. Ça dépend un peu ee ton installation, mais en général,

/srv/funkwhale/virtualenv/bin/python /srv/funkwhale/api/manage.py <tacommande>

Et la bonne syntaxe :)

@lig well you could definitely build a podcast specific UI on top of Funkwhale, since it uses open APIs :)

@lig @neildarlow@fosstodon.org
Unfortunately, Mastodon doesn't retrieve previous episodes when you browse a profile or subscribe to it, but once you're subscribed to a channel, you should see new episodes appearing in your timeline with an embedded player ;)

Thanks! Indeed, Funkwhale's UI is more music-centric than what you would expect for a podcasting app.

@lig @neildarlow@fosstodon.org here is an example channel in the web UI, I'm not sure if it answers your question : https://open.audio/channels/radiokeramiroz/

RSS feeds should be compatible with apple spec and usable on Itunes and on any podcasting app (otherwise, it's a bug ;)

I don't think any podcasting app supports subscribing through ActivityPub though

@lig

Funkwhale channels can also be followed directly on fedi, using their username, on addition to RSS subscriptions :)

@ueckueck @moji hi there ! I don't speak german but I can definitely answer your questions in english if that's okay :)

Service should be going back up right now, apologies for the inconvenience

Most of our services, including open.audio, our gitlab, website and documentation are currently down because of a hosting issue.

We're looking into that.
