@psykro I did submit a ticket and they helped me sync everything to Castos to use the RSS feed there instead. We haven’t made the switch quite yet, but reducing the RSS feed count has at least kept us from spiking. If you have a fix for it I’d be more than happy to test it since the plugin is still being served to our Spotify account.

Sure! Thanks.

I’m also not really seeing a way to lower the items in an RSS feed through SSP. Do you just mean deleting episodes? Or is there a threshold setting somewhere for what to include in the RSS feed?

@psykro that’s great to know about the post type, thanks!

We are hosting with Castos so using a feed there would be fine, but there doesn’t seem to be a feed on our Castos account. We do have analytics on Castos, but no podcasts/feeds show up. How do we get our SSP podcast to create a feed on Castos? (our account is already linked in WP settings to Castos. I assumed this would already sync to Castos since the file hosting works great, but maybe I’m missing something)

Hi @psykro!

1) Yeah, we have a podcasts page with two feeds and playlists displayed. Playlist is for latest episode only (limit=1) but the feeds are full ss_podcast shortcodes.

2) a) 10. b) 100
But we aren’t posting podcasts as individual posts, only including feeds from the main Podcasts page.

3) Yeah, Spotify is using one of the SSP generated RSS feeds, not sure about frequency.

The thing is that the queries we are seeing are searching in posts, but we don’t create posts per episode. eg.:

SELECT ID FROM posts WHERE post_type = 'attachment' AND guid = 'https://episodes.castos.com/podcast_name/episode.mp3'

SELECT post_id, meta_value FROM postmeta WHERE meta_key = '_wp_attached_file' AND meta_value = 'https://episodes.castos.com/podcast_name/episode.mp3'

Here’s a screenshot of our usage, you can tell where we disabled and re-enabled the plugin. ??
