Feature Request: Download RSS podcast using Local RSS file about podcast-dl

[lightpohl]

Hey! That would be a fun addition — one thing that holds it back is that the RSS parser library podcast-dl uses doesn't support local files, so it would need to duplicate the parsing for local files. I'll keep pondering the best way to add something like that though.

If you're looking for a workaround, you can host the local file and point podcast-dl to it! For example, this is how it would work with npx.

# inside the directory containing my-custom-rss.xml
npx http-server

# in a separate terminal
podcast-dl --url "http://127.0.0.1:8080/my-custom-rss.xml"

Hey again! This ended up being easier than I expected with the latest version — added the --file param to the v9.3.0 release. Available here! https://github.com/lightpohl/podcast-dl/releases/tag/v9.3.0
