    Hello Blubrry Team

    On our website, we have many podcasts using category podcasts.

    We would like to add video podcast feeds to some of them.

    Is there a way to have both an audio podcast feed and a video podcast feed for a specific category podcast?

    We tried setting up a “vidcast” channel, and in a new post, we specified the mp3 audio file in the first powerpress block (default podcast channel) and the mp4 video file in the second powerpress block (vidcast channel), both with the correct category.

    In the category standard podcast feed (whatever.com/category/category_name/feed/podcast) the audio enclosure is present, as expected.

    But there is no vidcast feed associated with the category, something like whatever.com/category/category_name/feed/vidcast.

    The standard channel feed exists as whatever.com/feed/vidcast, but we do not want to use the same vidcast channel for all our video podcasts.

    I guess we could create 2 categories, category_name and category_name_video and, for each podcast episode, create one post containing the audio file and associate it with the first category and a second post containing the video file and associate it with the second category.

    Then, there would be 2 feeds:
    whatever.com/category/category_name/feed/podcast
    and
    whatever.com/category/category_name_video/feed/podcast

    There has to be a better way so we don’t have to duplicate content.

    Any idea would be welcome.

    Best regards.

    The “channel” feed would be the one to have the video files attached. You can only have one feed in a category feed. There is no way to have both a video file and an audio file go out in the same RSS feed in a single post.

    Thank you Mike!

    Might be practical to have in a future version of the plugin.

    Best regards.
