It's a work in progress
While the podcast, music, and audiobooks are set, it's still a work in progress. So if you would like to have a place to upload and distribute your podcasts, and music, this is worth the purchase.
I'm still getting a feel for it, but I don't see a section where team members could be added. A number of features are listed as "Coming Soon" (i.e. YouTube integration). I look forward to such features, along with sections like "Transcriptions & Keywords" being fixed because this particular isn't accessible (at least to me). I have the Tier 1 plan because I didn't see the need for the tier 2 plan unless. I would've gone with a tier 2 plan if it opened the door to creating my own Roku channel, but for now correcting certain issues will make the app even better.
Another issue I've noticed is the embedded video player not playing anything but a color strip in the lower thirds area. I was trying to double check to see if the "Share" & "Policy" would be there in the embedded version. If so, that should be taken out because it doesn't give the professional feel I'm going for along with the title of the video.
Other than that, I look forward to making magic with disctopia as updates continue. I have yet to embed an audio-only podcast episode, so I don't know if that works just yet, but i'll see.
Disctopia+Wavve
Jan 24, 2025Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review! It’s clear that you see the potential in Disctopia, and your feedback highlights both what’s working and where improvement is needed. Let me address the points you’ve raised:
1. Work in Progress
You’re absolutely right—Disctopia is a growing platform, and while features like podcasts, music, and audiobooks are set, other areas are still under development. Your patience as these updates roll out is greatly appreciated.
2. Team Member Management
Currently, team member functionality is only available on Tier 2 (Agency Plan). If you need this feature, upgrading to Tier 2 would unlock it.
However, your point about clarity in this area is well taken, and we’ll work on making the availability of features like team management more transparent.
3. Features Listed as "Coming Soon"
YouTube Integration: This is actively being worked on and is a top priority for the development team.
Transcriptions & Keywords: This feature is indeed not fully functional yet, and it’s being refined to ensure accessibility and accuracy.
Roku Channel Creation: Currently not a feature, but feedback like yours helps us evaluate demand for such additions.
4. Embedded Video Player
Current Issues: The embedded video player showing only a color strip and including "Share" and "Policy" options in the embedded version are known issues. Your suggestion to remove unnecessary elements like "Share" for a more professional look is valuable and will be passed to the team.
Fix Timeline: The team is actively working to improve the player, both in functionality and design.
5. Audio-Only Podcast Embeds
While audio-only podcast embeds should work, we recommend testing it and reaching out to support if you encounter any issues. If you do face challenges, please provide specific details so we can address them quickly.
6. Looking Forward
Thank you for sticking with Disctopia as we continue to roll out updates and fixes. Your feedback is incredibly helpful in shaping the platform’s future. If you need help with embedding, team management, or anything else, feel free to reach out—we’re here to help you "make magic" with Disctopia! 😊
