(what [[schmonz]] will be migrating from).

display details against a reference podcast.

### Must-have (for [[schmonz]], anyway)
* Think carefully about...
* UTF-8.
- * Other templates with `CONTENT` and whether they want to learn
- about `ENCLOSURE` (maybe `aggregatepost.tmpl`?).
- * Whether [[tips/howto avoid flooding aggregators]] suffices for
- migrating a fancy podcast into ikiwiki.
+ * Whether [[tips/howto avoid flooding aggregators]] suffices for...
+ * Converting a simple podcast to a fancy one.
+ 7. Set up a non-production copy of one of my podcasts.
+ * Manually test that feeds match production.
+ * Subscribe to the copy in `r2e`, iTunes, Downcast.
+ 7. Try migrating the copy from simple to fancy.
+ * Document the steps I take.
+ * Make the feed readers update.
+ * Document what happens for each of them.
+ * Migrating a fancy podcast from elsewhere into ikiwiki.
* Verify that _all_ the tests pass (not just my new ones).
-----
* `itunes:keywords`
* Notable tags for entries:
* `itunes:duration`
- * use `Audio::TagLib` if present and applicable
- * fall back to `ffprobe`
+ * [[!cpan Audio::TagLib]] might be fastest, if present and applicable
+ * [ffprobe](http://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html) is reasonably fast
+ * [mediainfo](http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/) is way slower
+ * Cache computed durations as pagestate
-### Other ideas
+### Fancy podcast aggregating
-* Let the enclosure's MIME type be specified, in case someone ever
- needs to disagree with `File::MimeInfo`.
-* Extend [[plugins/inline]] to configurably generate additional
- subscription links (such as iTunes) alongside the RSS/Atom ones.
-* Verify that [[plugins/more]] plays well with fancy podcasts.
-* Allow enclosures that are outside the wiki.
-* Support Apple's "enhanced podcasts" (if they're still relevant).
+* Write tests comparing a fancy podcast (HTML and feeds) against
+ the same podcast aggregated and republished, then make them pass
+ via changes to `aggregatepost.impl` and [[plugins/aggregate]].

+* Optionally specify the enclosure's:
+ * MIME type, in case `File::MimeInfo` guesses wrong.
+ * Duration, in case `ffprobe` guesses wrong.
+* Optionally specify enclosures outside the wiki:
+ * Some people don't want to store big unchanging files in the VCS.
+ * Other people like [podcasting found media](http://huffduffer.com/about).
+ * We'd have to download the file just to compute some metadata
