Brandon	40869bcf39	fix: set correct Content-Type for RSS feed audio files Express's mime package does not recognize .m4b, causing it to fall back to application/octet-stream. This reuses the existing getAudioMimeTypeFromExtname utility (already applied to the download endpoint) to set the correct audio/mp4 header before sendFile. Fixes #5041	2026-05-02 22:13:35 -04:00
