This is a streamlined version of Justin Jackson’s original page about HLS video and podcasts. This is all you need to know to create video podcasts that use open standards.
- Publish the audio version of your podcast.
- Publish the video version as HLS video streaming with a .m3u8 file.
- Add an element to your RSS feed that connects the audio to the video.
<podcast:alternateEnclosure type="application/x-mpegURL"
height="1080"
lang="en"
title="HD Video Stream"
rel="alternate">
<podcast:source uri="manifest.m3u8" />
</podcast:alternateEnclosure>
That’s it. Now compatible podcast players can switch between audio and video. I’ve also written a longer post specifically about Micro.blog.
