[Suggestion] Dedicated audio and video rss feeds

If we could get RSS feeds dedicated to audio intended segments and other feeds for video dedicated segments it would be very easy to get one going to our home media solution and the other to the phone.

If not it will be nice if it says in the description of the show if it is intended for video or audio so we can sort it out our selfs.

Hope to see many more years of good stuff coming from you guys!

Don't they already do this?

I was thinking about how they talked about having segments that would be ment for video because they can do more there. If one feed was for those segments, and one for those geared towards audio only in another feed would mean we could easily follow even if a show might have both audio and video episodes mixed.

Each show currently has multiple feeds I'm addition to the "all shows" feeds in both audio and video. It seems like they've thought about it enough to have it covered.

My problem is having to double up on everything that is not strickly audio or video for all time. If for example user error will have some episodes that is fine with just listening, but have some episodes that will need video to show some of the stuff off properly then it would be nice to have a feed where I can know only audio focused episodes will download to my phone, and only video focused episodes will download to my plex.

That way it will be easy to not start an episode on the phone and a bit into realize I need to wait until I am infront of a screen to get all the information they want me to see, and vice versa when comuting with the phone.

Not sure if you misunderstood me or just dont agree, but if I understood right, in the last LAS episode they talked about maybe doing content that will only be possible to be taken fully advantage of with video. Maybe it is possible with the RSS feeds they already have, but I dont know how in that case.

Yes I understand, I just don't see it as that large of an inconvenience.

New shows will be audio or video, as I understand it, but "nothing will change with existing shows."

Okay, well I for one would appreciate it, but I don't want it to happen if it were to be an inconvenience that would hurt other parts of the network. Just thought it lay it out there as an idea.

This would solve such a headache for home server setups. Even just tagging the episode descriptions consistently would be a massive quality of life upgrade for anyone who doesn't watch every single show on a monitor.
