…ting Amazon rejected com.p0dcasters.tv 1.0.0 on 2026-11-04 under the Intellectual Property and Copyright policy, naming the Mighty Oaks Foundation and Harry Sisson. They were right: the store screenshots were live captures of /search, so real cover art and real show titles - Mighty Oaks Daily Devotional, The Harry Sisson Show and a dozen others - were sitting in the listing. A feed being public does not license its artwork to us. Screenshots: new /tv-preview renders the real card grid with invented shows and no image URLs, so <Art> falls back to its own typographic tile and every square is drawn by us. store/capture.sh takes the 1920x1080 store shots from it with headless Chrome - the app is a WebView of this site at this size, so that is what the TV shows, without needing the Android SDK. The eight rejected shots are deleted, and emulator-test.sh now says in its header that it is a functional test whose results pages must never become store art. Copy: the home hero, the page description and the OG image all name-dropped TWiT, NPR, the BBC, Anchor, Buzzsprout and Libsyn. That reads as a claim of affiliation we do not have, so it is now "every hosting platform" and "the big network libraries". The /networks link stays, and the directory data itself is untouched - naming the host a feed actually comes from is factual and is the product. The listing also now states plainly that podcasters is a reader: it lists public RSS feeds, plays them from the publisher's own server, hosts and alters nothing, and will remove a feed on request.

Follow-up to the IP fix. Capturing the replacements turned up three traps, all now encoded in store/capture.sh so the next person does not rediscover them: - The home page cannot be a store screenshot. Below its hero it renders the "deep catalogues" row, which is real cover art, and two of those shows are the ones Amazon named. /tv-preview?hero=1 gives the same hero and search bar above our own sample grid instead. - /search is out too, even with no query: it carries a sponsored ad and names a real third-party domain in its help text. - Capture against the app container, not the public hostname. p0dcasters answers a headless browser with its own x402 paywall after 20 requests an hour, so the first two captures were screenshots of "You have used up the free allowance". A browser user agent is needed as well, because the default HeadlessChrome string is treated as a crawler. Both shots are checked by eye: our own typographic tiles, invented show names, example.com hosts, no third-party anything. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Follow-up to #85. Adds the replacement store art and encodes the three traps found while capturing it.
The screenshots (both 1920×1080, both from
