Takes ages to add a podcast or podcast episode on Castopod

How big are your audio files? I only tested with some 3 demo audio files which around 10MB each.

15MB
I am going to reinstall it. I noticed something during first setup that wasn't right. Will let you know.

I tried setting up Castopod on the Cloudron demo. The setup went ok. (Thanks for such a fast demo server!)

After logging in as admin and creating a manager account, the magic link was sent by email ok but then I ran into similar problems to those I encountered on my own instance:

I tried having the link resent and it won't accept the password. I also tried logging out altogether and that didn't work.

If somebody would like to destroy the castopod demo instance and retry, that is fine. I didn't get as far as trying to upload a podcast there.

@LoudLemur I could reproduce it now. It seems there is a bug in Castopod that if you try to login with the invitation link when already logged in as another user, it shows that exception.

Instead:

• I opened in anonymous tab and requested an invite link
• Pasted invite link from email into anonymous tab
• Am able to set password and login

Was also able to publish something https://castopod.demo.cloudron.io/@awesomenessinc

That link doesn't work for me.

@LoudLemur yeah, someone removed it by now in the demo... Which is why I didn't make it a link

Thanks for that.

I unfortunately can't follow your method.
I installed castopod, logged in as admin and created an additional castopod account with manager rights. I then logged out as admin, so there should be nobody in castopod at all. I found the email with the magic link and tried opening that in a private window. It asked me to create a password, and then:

This happens whether I follow the link using an incognito window, ordinary tab or a different browser running TOR.

I was again able to create a manager account. I think that the problem I had earlier might have been related to the email address format used.

This format is OK on castopod:
myemail@address.com

This format results in the exception:
my+email@address.com

I am still finding that the podcast creation takes a long time. I will see if it is due to trying to create the podcast as a manager rather than as a podcaster...

If anybody is using Vaultwarden with Castopod, is Vaultwarden recognizing Castopod pages with login fields? Usually, Vaultwarden/Bitwarden will recognize that the page has saved credentials and notifes that it is has data to paste. This isn't triggering, I find.

@LoudLemur interesting find! maybe a report for upstream is in order.
