Hi,
Since the opml export of podcasts is still missing, I wrote a small xsl stylesheet to convert podcasts.xml to a minimal opml file; at least it is good enough to import into squeezecenter so I can share my media center podcasts into squeezecenter.
I just apply the stylesheet with xsltproc (a simple command line tool available under linux, I guess a similar tool exists for windows). Apart from that I am a complete xsl(t) newbie, I just learned the minimum in the last hour to get this done.
Here is the stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<opml version="1.0">
<head>
<title>My Podcasts</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="podcast/feed">
<xsl:sort select="name"/>
<xsl:if test="not(starts-with(name,'tv '))">
<outline type="rss">
<xsl:attribute name="text"><xsl:value-of select="name"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="xmlUrl"><xsl:value-of select="url"/></xsl:attribute>
</outline>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</opml>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I put it in a file named mc2opml.xsl, and generate the opml like this:
xsltproc -o /var/www/Podcasts.opml mc2opml.xsl /data/mclib/podcast.xml
Note that I omit all podcasts that start with "tv " in the name. I name all video podcasts starting with tv, and since squeezecenter can't do anything with video podcasts I wanted to filter them out.
Maybe it can help some of you until we finally have a normale opml export (why is it taking so long?).
