Yet Another Podcast App (yapa) is a super basic podcast aggregator.
yapa automatically sorts episodes from oldest to newest and, by default, plays the feed in date order. It then marks each episode played at the end of the file and next time you play the feed it picks up at the oldest unplayed episode. The tool stores feed data as a JSON file that is read when the yapa command is invoked and written on any change.
yapa needs mpv to play podcasts.
This is free and open source software.
Available commands:
- add – load a new RSS feed to the store.
- completion – generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell.
- delete – delete a feed or playlist from the store.
- help – help about any command.
- list – list feeds/episodes in store.
- play – play a feed or playlist.
- update – update the store.
