Discussion [big IMO not a maintainer, or anything here]
There is the gnome podcasts app but you still can use podcasts here? Ok… will the feature set then be improved upon or will we just have to deal with how it is forever as is. I know it’s only an addition to the programs original intent and scope but you still support it currently.
So there is a couple of options on the table here I would suggest hiding as default if no change is going to be present in the future to hinder frustration or lead people over to the more promising program because this legacy support ain’t gonna cut it for now I feel like.
Or promoting the use of the gnome podcasts app or migrating podcasts app within rhthymbox for the future.
Thanks to ax562 over on #gnome in Libera.chat | I found the following article explaining the import:
AntennaPod also supports export to html / db own file.
No support found from #rhthymbox-gnome in Libera.chat or in matrix rhthymbox channel.
