Post "Ad Free Feed (fixed)" by "darknetdiaries"

Luke Whaley

Hello everyone, I figured out how to add it on apple podcasts, go to library -> click 3 dots -> follow a show by url -> paste link in.

Gianluca Gabrielli

Just to add more context: as my feeds configuration is managed via a public Github repository [1] I would rather avoid to use my Patreon custom link, otherwise I'll end up on leaking the token which in turn can be used by any non-Patreon user to fetch its content. And you'll probably find it as another case in gPodder [2] sometime in the future. Because of that I prefer to use an already public RSS address. [1] https://github.com/StayPirate/apu2e4-containers/blob/master/rss2email/config/feeds.txt [2] https://github.com/gpodder/mygpo/issues/308#issuecomment-626996691

Gianluca Gabrielli

I'm asking because I get a weird error with the first address: error processing https://darknetdiaries.com/feedfree.xml - key required FYI: I'm using rss2email [0] as a feeds consumer. [0] https://github.com/StayPirate/rss2email

Gianluca Gabrielli

Is the feed address "https://darknetdiaries.com/feedfree.xml" intended to be a private one? If yes, how the authentication is handled? I see the Patreon address is in the form of "https://www.patreon.com/rss/darknetdiaries?auth=..token.." which make the authentication part easy to understand. Can you also explain which is the difference between the two addresses? Is the second one also reporting bonus tracks?

I’m showing no results in my iPhone Podcast app 🙁

Wombatulicious

Feed is working in Podcast Addict on Android

Tyler Adler

no use a better app for podcasts

Espen KM

Spotify streams from Spotify. You need a podcast app.

Henry Gotjen

Does the ad free feed work on Spotify?

Benjamin Sweetnam

but TBH it appears to have been working for me since it was updated

Benjamin Sweetnam

this helps download one episode but I should be able to download and add the episode to my Que on publish. I've always known you could download the episodes manually.

Try to compose a link based on the below example. Use the ep number and the ep name from the xml file Jack provided, i.e. open the xml file in a text editor, find, copy and paste the ep number and name. I had no trouble downloading any of the episodes and I am listening to them while driving, while, exercising etc. without any ads. https://darknetdiaries.com/podcasts/darknet-diaries-ep103-cloudhopper.mp3 https://darknetdiaries.com/feedfree.xml

Nice one. Downloaded it on my other computer on the add free feed. Will see if it's back to normal on my other computer later.

Karim Sahraoui

404 fixed on episode 112. Thank you Jack I guess :)

Karim Sahraoui

Try this link dude https://darknetdiaries.com/podcasts/darknet-diaries-ep112-dirtycoms.mp3 . Edit : nevermind seems it's fixed

Karim Sahraoui

Thank you, using your technique I might be able to listen to my favorite podcast during my running tomorrow, usual adfree rss not working for 112 https://darknetdiaries.com/podcasts/darknet-diaries-ep112-dirtycoms.mp3

Karim Sahraoui

Getting a 404 on episode 12, https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/darknetdiaries/darknet-diaries-ep112-dirtycoms.mp3 . Edit : can't guarantee it's adfree didn't listen yet, but this link work : https://darknetdiaries.com/podcasts/darknet-diaries-ep112-dirtycoms.mp3

Iain White

Not working for latest episode, for me. 112 dirty coms.

Peter van den Hurk

Spotify doesn't support external feeds. If you want to listen to this feed, you'll have to instal a real podcasting app.

Paul Woollams

Not working on Spotify.

Alex schwartz

Link doesn’t work for me any podcast app

Benjamin Sweetnam

Works but latest episode isn't loading or did that go out by mistake

Peter W.

This worked - thank you!

Griveous666

Same over here, on all accounts. I do a fair bit of traveling and listening to these stories always makes the time seem worthwhile. Thanks for all the hard work, please keep it up.

Joe Wickham

First podcast I’ve ever paid for. I want to hear more, Jack had an amazing way of telling stories. I’m really hooked. I think his constant is more engaging than any TV or radio content I’ve listened or watched in the past 5/10 year. Thanks Jack. Please keep up the good work 👌

Trev

As a Canadian I have a love-hate relationship with the ads. Like privacy (dot) com, for example. Fantastic sounding service! No good for a Canuck

Katalin Kish

Below is a direct link to one of the ad-free podcasts for those who cannot use apps for whatever reasons like myself. If you compare the below link to the episodes' names and URLs, then you get the direct links to all ad-free episodes. https://darknetdiaries.com/podcasts/darknet-diaries-ep103-cloudhopper.mp3

Shauna Madden

Love the content and the fact the adds are generally relevant. (I am fine with it. Hope you get some compensation for the adds.)

dopamean

I use the Google podcast app and there is a way. Go to Library Then Subscriptions Then in the top right corner there is a link icon. Click it and enter the feed url

Типичный Негодяй

@Thomas Bock, give Antenna Pod a try, it's good

ylufy

working on vlc, thanks for all the great Content!

Thomas Bock

Sadly there is no option to add RSS to Google Podcast you may have to use an other app for that

Gustav U

I wrote to Jack on Twitter after commenting here. He said there was a filename issue, which is fixed now. So, now I can download it in Pocket Cast.

Pontus Nyberg

I got it working on Plex on my android

Gustav U

I get the same message in Pocket Cast for the episode

Pontus Nyberg

Just that I can't download the episode and nothin on Google podcasts. Edit: pocket cast gives me "file not found. The file mat have been moved or deleted. Contact the podcast author."

Julian Assange

Just added to google podcasts. No issues. Getting any error messages?

Pontus Nyberg

Can't get it to work on pocket cast nor google podcasts. Haven't had ny problems on pocket cast until now.

Brayden Erickson

Hay how do I get this to work on Google podcast

Billy Kraken

Works like a charm with Antennapod on Android

Henrik Richter Schie

Works perfectly on Pocket Casts, thank you! Great podcast, and look forward to listening to the remaining episodes without ads :)

Octavian

Dont know how to listen to no ads episodes

Charlotte Fereday

I’ve tried this on Spotify and Apple podcasts but can’t get it to work. What apps have people found this works on?

Peter Kidd

Yeah. It's really counter-intutitive (to me, anyway) the way it is now. I am a Patreon of another podcast that simply puts its bonus episodes in the same feed as the main ones.

Malthe Høj-Sunesen

Oh, it's the private RSS feed. Awesome, thank you! @Jack, maybe make that part more obvious?

Jaydee_O

There is one. It's in the "my membership" tab at the top of this page ;)

Malthe Høj-Sunesen

That's some serious honor system you got going there. Other podcasts lets us jump through hoops to get the ad free version to be sure the feed won't spread to people not paying. Thanks for being that awesome! Suggestion: Make a feed for the bonus content?

Malthe Høj-Sunesen

A bit late to the party, but just go to podcasts.google.com on a desktop (or request desktop site in your browser) and add there. I'm not sure if this was possible when you had your problem but a fix is available now.

KorruptedPineapple

Not that I know of. Its an issue with spotify. As far as I can tell, you need to use an RSS app of some sort.

David

Jack you're literally a legend please never stop being this awesome :)

Alex Kite

Is there a way to listen to the ad free version on spotify?

Peta Červenka

It load the fees but not the audio ?

Blake Gearin

Seems to work fine on Pocket Casts :)

Tom

didn't work for me when I typed it in. But copy and paste did work

J K

Works in Google Podcast :-) Thanks!

Alan Broadbent

Doesnt seem to work in Overcast either

jeffrey

Spotify inserts its own ads into things, especially podcasts, even on the premium version of Spotify.

kirby

I tried using it for spotify but don't know how it works 😅 guess its still ads for me~

Phoenix

Curse you for not making your ads a multiple of 30 seconds for easy skipping, and thank you for providing an ad free option for those of us who can't stand 'em!

Jim Woodward

This, I dont mind, I can skip them easily if its oemthing ive heard recently but they're not long enough to worry about - Thank you Jack for all the hard work you put into these shows, without a doubt my favorite pod cast of all time.

DarkSenseOfForeboding

Sounds crazy and I never say this, but I like the ads. You've introduced me to some very helpful products that I would not otherwise know about. Thanks Jack! For everything!

rubo77

I use Podcast-Addict on android and this URL worked

Bastien Barbas

I copy-paste it didnt find it ?

Dave

I switched to using Pocket Casts a while ago. I liked the minimalist design of the Google Podcast app but this one just feels a lot better. Can add custom RSS feeds, plus I went ahead and did a subscription to it and now I can listen and sync progress of all my shows on my PC. Using Google rewards money I was able to subscribe for a year free. Just a thought for you if you want to give something else a try. The lack of RSS was what finally did it for me.

Mustafa Q

I use Google Podcast app and there is no option to add RSS feed :|

frank miller

Does this work for Stitcher?

MAW

NM. I was able to subscribe in Apple Podcasts.

Aditya Srinivasan

Copy paste worked mate on pocketcasts check it out

MAW

Sorry Jack but I'm not able to pull anything up for that URL in either Stitcher (my preferred app) or Spotify podcasts.

Jeremy Kirkwood

Works great, thanks for fixing that Jack

Delaney Scarangella

Is there a way to add this to pocketcasts?

Andrew Alonso

It worked for castbox but does not work for stitcher, can someone help me?

Chris Roijens

Also want to point out that at this moment it seems that the normal Podcast updates faster than the ad-free one.

Zlatko Unger

Does not work in the Google Podcast app but works in the BeyondPod app.

Mindy Lowers

I love you. This works!

Jack Rhysider

Armin, the bonus episodes can be seen when you are on the $3 tier.

Derek Lei

Doesn’t seem to work with Overcast. I tried adding using the URL and it gave me an error

Armin von Werner

Works for me, the other one didn't (pocket casts on Android). Not to sound greedy, but have there been any extra patreon episodes as hinted at in the perks?

Eugene Kim

Hi Jack- I am not able to find this feed in my Android Player FM app. I switched to this one after my other app was constantly crashing, but was able to find the feed on that one. Thanks!

Ben Fisher

Do you get people sharing the link who aren't supporters? Would it make sense to combine the bonus episodes and adfree into a single patreon link?

Markus Ellers

Thank you so much. Looking forward to the episode on a long train ride tomorrow. The fabled last bug, eh ;-)

Jack Rhysider

Fixed sorry about that.

Jack Rhysider

Fixed now thanks for reporting it. So many tiny bugs to squash since the website relaunch. But this might have been the last one. I hope!

Brandon Taylor

Same here the latest episode does not seem to play in either of the podcast players I use.

Markus Ellers

I get a 404 Error on the latest episode :-(

Klaus Agnoletti

I can't add the feed to Plex. However, the bonus rss feed works fine

Harsha Chandrashekariah

This feed didn't work on Pocket Casts for the Just Visiting episode.

Simon Davis

Anyone got this new url to work with Google podcast? I've given Google feedback that it doesn't work

Steve

Stupid Apple and my dumb brain. Go to the Podcasts app, goto "Library", goto "Shows" hit "Edit" in the top right hand corner then select "Add a Podcast by URL". Not quite intuitive.

Steve

Anyone got this to work on Apple Podcasts; I literally changed over to Apple from Android and have no idea... putting the link into the search doesn't work.

Scott Struzik

I discovered Darknet a couple months ago when a coworker told me about the Stuxnet episode. Ever since I've been burning through the catalog. I look forward to mowing my lawn because it means I'll have Podcast time. Bus late? Ah, who cares, it's Darknet time while I wait. Heck, I've even been taking four mile walks during my lunch hour so I can listen to Darknet. However, today I finally caught up. Now I must wait for new episodes to come out. Today is also the day I started supporting the show. THANK YOU!

(ALo) Adam L

Daily Tech News show has multiple feeds with users choice based on perks/payment levels. So I know it's possible, just not exactly sure how. You may be able to reach out to them as they have work with patreon a lot to help improve podcasting and feeds.

Dan Bragilevsky

Thanks for this! Could you perhaps edit the name of the feed to Darknet Diaries (ad free)? I still sub to both so that'd be helpful! On a side note love the podcast (duh since I'm here) but it reminds me of shit I did back in middle and high school

Jack Rhysider

Ya I use that for the bonus episodes now. Not sure if it can also work with this. I have a meeting setup with Patreon next month I'll ask them then.

Works for me! I already contacted Pocket Cast since I thought that it was a issue specific to this app. However you might want to hide the link a little bit more...

Haus of Decline

What's really a travesty is the captcha to login to patreon. Took me 10 minutes.

Konrad

Are you aware that patreon also has rss feeds for its patreons which you could use? In that case, patreon would also handle the authentication to make sure only paying patreons are using it.

Andrew Stiegmann

FYI... Non subscribers may have the link now too due to email notifications

Andrew Stiegmann

Indeed this is a public post. Also as an FYI the Patreon email notification of this post totally munges the link for tracking purposes so people who try to use the link in email may hit obnoxious issues. But the feed appears to work in Pocket Casts on Android so Yay!
