not being all that familiar with podcasting, can you be a little more specific in what changes would need to be made to the module to support your requirements?

1. The download method
2. The RSS feed needs to be slightly modified. This could be as simple as an XSL transformation

what about the download method?

what changes would need to be made to the RSS feeds?

If you tell me what you need, I can look into providing it for you

As far as I can tell, not too much needs to be changed.  The only difference between the current RSS feed and a podcasting feed is that it also allows the semi-automated download of files.  If someone subscribes to that feed, they can then download files unattended for later viewing/playback on their portable device. 

I'll see if I can locate the XML standard for that, it's got to be posted somewhere.

I did a bit more research on this tonight, and it appears that the repository is generating the RSS feed in v2.0 format, and the only thing missing in the feed is a line like this inside of each <item></item> element:

<enclosure url="http://domain.com/file.mp3" length="123456789" type="audio/mpeg" />
Is the RSS content generated by the core or the module?

The RSS feed is generated by the core Syndicate function. The Repository module itself does not generate an RSS feed. The core Syndication functions use the builtin Search interface for each module to retrieve the data and generate the feed.

At a quick glance, it appears that in order to modify the RSS generated, the change would have to be in the core function, or I would have to build a custom RSS feed generator for the Repository.

I'll bring this up at the next core team chat and see if there are any other options, as I am not all that familar with the Syndication code.
