PigeonPod

To listen to your favorite YouTube channels, video playlists, and Bilibili creators during a commute without keeping a browser tab open, PigeonPod converts video subscriptions into private, standard podcast RSS feeds for any podcast player. Paste a channel URL, playlist link, or single video address to preview uploads and generate a protected feed for Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or AntennaPod. You can select audio-only or video output, customize bitrates and formats, and generate Podcasting 2.0 chapter markers for topic scrubbing. Scheduled background sync jobs fetch new releases automatically while on-demand history backfill queues older catalog episodes in bulk. Per-feed keyword rules, duration thresholds, and retention limits keep storage clean by filtering out shorts or marathon livestreams. Upload YouTube or Bilibili cookies for member-only streams, route traffic through custom proxies, and update the yt-dlp engine directly inside the web dashboard. A built-in web player, one-click public episode share pages, and OPML export let you stream in the browser or migrate subscriptions. Media files store on local disk or S3-compatible buckets such as Cloudflare R2 and MinIO, accompanied by YouTube API quota monitors and failure alerts. Multi-user role permissions support shared accounts across eight interface languages. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
