Adding podcasts via the app still seems to be restricted to admin only users. With both issues closed, is there plans to allow non-admin users this ability?

Just wanted to chime in that I’d love to see this developed further. I’ve got members of my household who I would trust to add content to the server, and space to hold it, but I don’t want to give them full blown admin (myself being one, I log in w/root when I need to do admin things but use a non-admin account the rest of the time).

Thanks for mentioning, but the best way to support feature requests is leaving a "thumbs up" reaction to the top comment.

That's fine and dandy, but I wasn't going to remember to come back and look at my likes 😆 . Did that too now.
