I wanted to play some audiobooks on my light phone,
|
|
|
|
|
so I made a bourne shell script to generate an RSS feed.
|
|
|
|
|
I was surprised that I couldn't find any prior work to do this.
|

Put all your .mp3 files in a directory,
|
|
|
|
|
put this script in it,
|
|
|
|
|
and make a `config.sh`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
|
title="My Audiobook"
|
|
|
|
|
description="An audiobook I like"
|
|
|
|
|
url="https://example.com/ebooks/mine"
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The script:
|
|
|
|
|
[build.sh](build.sh).
|
|
|
|
|
It will create `rss.xml` in that directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It uses `ffprobe` from ffmpeg to figure out each track's title.
|
|
|
|
|
All my tracks have ID3 tags,
|
|
|
|
|
so it may fail if yours don't.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It can deal with spaces in filenames,
|
|
|
|
|
but not double-quotes.
|
|
|
|
|
`&` and `<` might cause problems too.
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, it's good enough for me.
