vrdriver / jsonpodcastfeed

This generates a JSON feed for a directory of MP3 files, instead of a typical XML RSS feed.

This JSON feed was created/modified by Stephen Monro 2018. bluetomatomedia.com

I know that JSON is currently not really supported much by podcasting software yet, but times are changing, and this is happening. Of all the solutions I found, they were able to import or convert an RSS to JSON. This was no good, as I needed a native non-coversion solution. There is no XML in this, and the way of the future looks like it's JSON. I also needed a solution that could do this, and I couldn't wait until someone else came up with a solution.

To use: Put this file in your path with mp3 files, configure the file and you will then get a json file with a list of the mp3 files. Just remember to look at the config settings in the file, otherwise it won't work correctly.

I also strongly suggest installing getID3 in the same path as well. https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/getID3

Your path should then look something like this:

  \getid3\
  A.mp3
  B.mp3
  C.mp3
  json.php
  S.mp3
  T.mp3

Sample JSON:

    "user_comment": "A description of the feed",
    "title": "A title of the feed",
    "home_page_url": "https://mycoolwebsite.com",
    "feed_url": "https://mycoolwebsite.com/audio/json.php",
    "items":
