[Feature Request] RSS and Podcating Namespace Support For Channel Videos and Live Streams #845
Description
The Podcast Namespace provides a way for any RSS feed, including video libraries, to act as podcasts and to derive streaming payments and boost/one-time payments using bitcoin lightning (with plans to support other payment methods in the future). The Live tag in the Podcast Namespace also allows live streams to receive streaming payments and boosts from supported apps.
By adding Podcast Namespace features and functions to Gilmesh it not only enables archived/VOD recordings to act as podcasts with their own unique RSS feed, but also allows creators to receive value both for their archived content and live streams.
Gilmesh can also choose to set a default platform fee percentage that they receive as part of the streaming value payments and boosts to creators (Ideally 1-2%, let's not pull a Twitch here) which helps to fund further development of the platform.
The podcast namespace is also an open-source movement and invites any developers to participate in the expansion of this standard.
Apps that support the standard can be found at http://newpodcastapps.com/
In theory, this means live game streams will appear as "Live" podcasts in apps that support that functionality. VODs would appear as Podcast Episodes in the same apps.
You can also use this underlying framework to build similar streaming value or subscription and boost payments into the Open Streaming Platform to add functions similar to Twitch and other game stream platforms for viewers to support content creators.
