Many episode descriptions--e.g. Vector--are in html; so, tags are showing.

Some episode images(e.g. Food on SermonAudio.com) are relative url not absolute url . How can we get the absolute url?

hello brian i set the ATC setting in info.plist like below Allow Arbitrary Loads in Web Content = YES Allow Arbitrary Loads = YES and everything is fine but i cannot load your podcast image i can print your image url http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000403867065-5g5khr-original.jpg but it didn't show up what is the problem? this is my code : https://github.com/ehdrjsdlzzzz/Podcasts

Hi Brian, I love your new Tutorial Series. Amazing work. You said a few tutorials ago that we will create a Singelton on the API Service Model. But in my opinion this is not a Singelton, because Singelton are only exists on Classes not Structs. Please let me now if I not right. Thanks Best regards from Germany

你好，Brian， 在链接到Episode页面时有些图片显示不出来，有些控制台显示已经加载，但是没显示图片，有些显示错误，-1200，-1022，-999，这是什么问题？应该怎么解决？还有，写在获取cell里的description的时候，偶尔遇到 <p>.....呈现出来，不是我们的问题，但是毕竟不好看，有没有办法解决？我英文说得不好，但是能看，你发英文没问题，谢谢你

Hi Brian, Amazing tutorials. Just wondering if you know how to remove HTML tags from the RSS feeds, in your sample when you're searching for "Food" podcast, the "Good Food" episodes description contains something like this: "<p>New York Times columnist Melissa Clark explains the pressure cooker craze... </p>" Thanks a lot.

Hey Brian, I noticed for some feeds when there are no images for the feedItems and we set those to the feed image it does not work. I've set break points and the imageUrl is there but, when we append to the episodes array, the episode object has an empty imageUrl. This happens to me on the Good Food podcast but for the Good Life Project it loads fine. What could the issue be?

I downloaded the project, I tested it with another podcast called "Good financial cents". if you try it with that one you should get blank image results as well... It's a very odd bug and is frustrating that I'm having such a hard time figuring out this bug!

You can as well pass artworlUrl600 from EpisodesController since we have podcast object. I managed to do this cell.coverImageUrl = self.podcast?.artworkUrl600 where I define coverImageUrl in EpisodeCell. Is it okay to pass the two parameters? as this let episode = self.episodes[indexPath.row] cell.episode = episode cell.coverImageUrl = self.podcast?.artworkUrl600 Since all episodes will have same image url

Brian 你好，我现在在广州，打开课程发现都打不开视频，显示player.vimep.com refuse to connect. 请问你有什么解决办法吗？

because in the most cases the feedItem.iTunes?.iTunesImage?.attributes?.href (itunes:image) property is empty or just have "HTTP" and not HTTPS URL, i just added following fallback: Add to EpisodeCell.swift: var podcastArtworkUrl: String? And to the DidSet... ------------ let podcastOrEpisodeImageUrl = episode.imageUrl.isEmpty ? podcastArtworkUrl : episode.imageUrl guard let imageUrl = podcastOrEpisodeImageUrl else { return } let secureImageUrl = imageUrl.contains("https") ? imageUrl : imageUrl.replacingOccurrences(of: "http", with: "https") let url = URL(string: secureImageUrl) episodeImageView.sd_setImage(with: url, completed: nil) And in EpisodesController.swift near by "cellForRowAt"... cell.podcastArtworkUrl = podcast?.artworkUrl600 So if images from Episodes not exists you just get the image from the podcast...

Hi Brian, I put the HTTP to HTTPS thing into a URL extension like: extension URL { init?(httpToHttps url: String) { let secureUrl = url.contains("https") ? url : url.replacingOccurrences(of: "http", with: "https") self.init(string: secureUrl) } } so you can use it like: guard let imageUrl = URL(httpToHttps: episode.imageUrl ?? "") else { return } Just wanted to share my idea and also ask something. Because in general, it seems like HTTPS and podcasts is a really huge pain in the somewhere you don't wanna have pain in. So i wonder how "wrong" is it to just use this: <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/> </dict> to allow HTTP requests? It would make things so much easier.
