Answer 1 · 2021-10-19T11:07:59.000Z

Thank you for your inquiry.
Some podcasts are already supported (Episode), but they are still incomplete, so we will add additional features.

Answer 2 · 2021-10-19T11:25:39.000Z

Full podcast support should now be implemented with the following commit.

Answer 3 · 2021-10-19T16:01:07.000Z

Awesome thanks! Is this exactly the same code as if im streaming tracks or should I chnage stuff?

Answer 4 · 2021-10-19T22:05:23.000Z

You can get the stream by writing the following.

from librespot.audio.decoders import AudioQuality, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality
from librespot.metadata import EpisodeId

# e.g. NHK Radio News (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KAW1GCHpOsxPBuZ0v59S4) 
episode_id = EpisodeId.from_base62("2KAW1GCHpOsxPBuZ0v59S4")
stream = session.content_feeder().load(episode_id, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality(AudioQuality.VERY_HIGH), False, None)

The TrackId and EpisodeId have changed, but nothing else.

  File "/home/james/Documents/programs/python/spotify_testing/spotify_testing.py", line 169, in client
    stream = SESSION.content_feeder().load(episode_id, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality(QUALITY), False, None)
  File "/home/james/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/librespot/audio/__init__.py", line 722, in load
    return self.load_episode(playable_id, audio_quality_picker,
  File "/home/james/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/librespot/audio/__init__.py", line 754, in load_episode
    return CdnFeedHelper.load_episode_external(self.__session, episode,
  File "/home/james/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/librespot/audio/__init__.py", line 366, in load_episode_external
    streamer = session.cdn().stream_external_episode(
  File "/home/james/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/librespot/audio/__init__.py", line 429, in stream_external_episode
    StreamId(episode),
  File "/home/james/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/librespot/audio/__init__.py", line 879, in __init__
    self.file_id = None if file is None else file.file_id
AttributeError: 'Episode' object has no attribute 'file_id'

I get this error while trying to load the following episode:
https://open.spotify.com/episode/3u0krXMhLcdGZUZkDVmMSt

Answer 6 · 2021-10-20T01:45:02.000Z

It was caused by a faulty keyword argument.
I've fixed it in the commit below, can you please try again?

It seems that the NoopAudioDecrypt class was not implemented.
It was fixed in the following commit.

Nice job! It now works with https://open.spotify.com/episode/3u0krXMhLcdGZUZkDVmMSt but it unfortunately fails on the url you provided. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KAW1GCHpOsxPBuZ0v59S4

Using 0 because preferred AudioQuality.HIGH couldn't be found.

It turns out that an unintended default value by Protobuf caused an unintended AudioFile to be selected.
This has been fixed in the following commit.

Answer 13 · 2021-10-21T00:11:30.000Z

Ah I see! Turns out doing a api request about that episode before attempting to stream will return a 404 error so I can use that to check before trying to stream :)

Thanks for all the help as always!!
