Severity: normal

Hello,
newsboat is a bit restrictive on podcast media types. This seems to come
from a commit[1] where only (some) audio types are accepted to choose
audio over jpeg[2] (and because newsboat can't handle more than one
media file per item?). However, this does dismiss other audio formats
like audio/aac and all of the video MIME types (video/mp4 in my case)
and overall looks like a lot of collateral damage.
Result: Nothing but the whitelisted media types can be downloaded with
newsboat/podboat.
I'm not sure adding more MIME types to the whitelist is the right thing
to do but might be at least a short term solution. Or just revert the
commit[1] and live with issue 604[2] for the moment? Eventually, support
for multiple media files per item seems like the right thing to do.
Thanks,
Dirk
