Support streaming services (e.g. Deezer, Spotify,…)

[leitmedium]

More and more streaming services like Spotify and Deezer offer subscriptions to classic Podcasts. It would be user friendly to offer these services via the subscribe button, too. I know there is a political discussion about wether these services are "good" or "bad", but still they are a way to subscribe to a podcast. I'd love having the subscribe button as a "one for all" solution.

Could you provide some example URLs? Is lookup via feed url possible?

[saerdnaer]

Both require their own ID in the URL – at least I could not find an API method for lookup via Feed URL

Examples:

• Spotify ID 6WZyzafR9gW8NZbVFhrJbH
• Deezer ID 2869

The user could add his/her individual ID via the Podlove backend. The same way it's done currently with the iTunes ID.

I'm also interested in this feature and support the version from @Inrumpo: It would be great if we could add individual IDs for streaming services such as deezer and spotify

Edit: Spotify has a URI-structure: spotify:show:ID --> spotify:show:6WZyzafR9gW8NZbVFhrJbH
opens it in the app

Just had a client tell me they don't want any subscribe button solution that does not include Spotify, so I have to uninstall Podlove until it does and look for another one :(

@ksr583 Which one did you choose in the end?
If it is only a single podcast, you could simply add it to https://github.com/podlove/podlove-subscribe-button/blob/master/src/coffee/clients.coffee#L55-L61

Any update?

[Inrumpo]

The "new" subscribe button included in the webplayer 5 does offer Spotify/Google Podcasts/… support. Unfortunately, the regular subscribe button has not yet been updated.

Are there any news? I am starting a new podcast and it will be a non-nerd podcast.

So it is important that the podcast ist subscribable with Spotify, Deezer etc. - so I need a Button for that. I do not want to modify and build my own button if someone already did it ;-)

@BluetriX You can use https://github.com/podlove/podlove-ui/tree/development/packages/clients – I plan to change the app data source of the legacy subscribe button (this repo) to the new clients npm package during the next weeks. Then this issue would be fixed, as both service are already included there.

You can also try to use https://github.com/podlove/podlove-ui/tree/development/apps/subscribe-button – but there is no ready to use Wordpress plugin yet. The projects is currently searching for a maintainer for the PHP part.
