gPodder 2.0 for Fremantle [Archive] - maemo.org

I've pushed the first test version of gPodder 2.0 for Fremantle to Extras-Devel. The autobuilder liked it, and so it should be available the next time you update your apt cache for Extras-Devel.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2610/3930221168_4f28211fc5.jpg

You can read about (http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2009/09/gpodder-20-for-diablo-is-here-fremantle.html) some of the changes to the UI.

If you upgrade from an older version of gPodder, it's best to start afresh by removing the gpodder.conf file in $HOME (in the X Terminal, type: rm ~/.config/gpodder/gpodder.conf), so it gets re-initialized with sane default values on the next start. Before the next start, you should move your downloads folder to MyDocs/Podcasts (if your downloads are in /home/user/gPodder-Downloads, type in X Terminal: mv ~/gPodder-Downloads ~/MyDocs/Podcasts).

If you don't care about your old subscriptions, downloads and settings, you can use the command "gpodder-backup --purge" to remove all downloads and settings (be careful! ;)).

After that, you should be good to go. Some of the new features you should try out and tell me if they work on the device:

Automatic screen rotation (Portrait mode)
YouTube user channels (e.g. NokiaConversations or Rocketboom)
Filters in the AppMenu (podcast/episode list)
Visiting URLs (should open in web browser)
Opening audio and video files (should open in media player)

Whoah, that portrait mode is quite nice, even with main menu support. Good work!

No, I did not. Thanks for bringing this to my attention :) Will have a look at them.

Some suggestions:

Pressing the "Subscribe" button should have an option to add from a URL. I know it's in the menu of the main screen, but if the user see "Subscribe - Add new podcasts" I would say the user hopes to do it from an URL too.

The entry in the dialog to add a podcast from URL shouldn't be uppercase. Generally you want to write something starting with http.

It would be great a menu to mark multiple episodes as new (and even an option to mark a complete podcast).
When you add a new podcast, Gpodder only marks the last as new, but frequently you haven't listened more episodes, and an easy way to mark them as new without having to go episode by episode would be good.
Also in this line, the same option to mark multiple episiodes as old.

Otherwise, looks very nice and simple. Good work!

I'll be writing bug reports later if these ideas makes sense to you.

Yes, that's a good idea. I will consider it for the next version.

The entry in the dialog to add a podcast from URL shouldn't be uppercase. Generally you want to write something starting with http.

This is actually a problem with the Hildon Input Method trying to be smart. I always deactivate the "capitalization" in the input menu in OS2008. Is it possible to change the entry so that capitalization (and maybe even word completion) is disabled for it? That'd be nice.

I have been thinking of doing this, but have not yet gotten around to do it. It would also be nice for actions such as Download and Delete. Please file me a bug report so I don't forget about this :)

Looks great and works ok.
I tried the youtube channel feature and no issues to report after this quick test.

I would like to see a "play" icon somewhere instead of having to hit the menu...(took me a while to figure it out actually).

Sweet, I love the new interface :)

Some ideas that came from quik testing:

Automatically download and keep the latest episode of each podcast. Maybe the "Download" button should be "Update" and should do just that..?
Automatically delete all older listened-to episodes. Maybe add a "keep" -toggle button on episode view to keep specific one for later
Play (and maybe that "keep") actions could be in a toolbar in episode view..? The menu is a bit cumbersome for such often used function.

http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/gtk/GtkEntry.html#hildon-gtk-entry-set-input-mode for C (don't know the Python equivalent, sorry). (I'm horrible and just set HILDON_GTK_INPUT_MODE_FULL | HILDON_GTK_INPUT_MODE_DICTIONARY but you can use a bitwise operation to just unset HILDON_GTK_INPUT_MODE_AUTOCAP. Don't ask me how (you probably know anyway...); I suck at this. :p)

Nice work, thanks! I know I said I don't listen to Podcasts (and this still holds true, currently) but after looking at gPodder 2.0; I must re-evaluate that opinion. :)

Just a quick update: gPodder 2.0 has landed in Maemo Extras :) Your feedback and features requests will be considered for future releases, some if the changes and ideas have already made their way into the Git repository. Thanks again for testing and giving feedback and please continue reporting bugs at the Maemo bug tracker.

A new version (2.0+git20091013-thp0) is available in Extras-Devel (already promoted to -Testing, waiting for someone to confirm the promotion):

Blog post with screenshots and a general description of new features (http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-gpodder-version-with-automatic.html)

Please check the bug list on bugs.maemo.org if you had a feature request / improvement suggestion / bug report that did not get implemented / fixed in this release, and if there's not such report yet, please report it. This helps me keep track of what's still left to do :)

Even with the current problems involving Python and /opt, both Hermes and Attitude (trivial apps compared with gPodder) are wrtitten in Python and use /opt.

10-15-2009, 07:00 AM

After some delays due to autobuilder maintenance, gPodder 2.0+git20091013-thp1 is now in Extras-Testing. The package itself is now optified, but if you are upgrading from an older version, you have to uninstall and re-install the package, or else the package might break (although uninstalling and reinstalling gPodder always fixes the issue for me).

Please test the new package in Extras-Testing and rate it / comment on it / report bugs. Thanks :)

Got one problem with the app on N900 (or well, feature request?).
I'd like to be able to play several downloaded youtube clips in tandem. If I select the 'play all downloads', it just plays the first one and stops. I can however use the >| button in the media player to get to the next clip...?

Any way to sort the order of downloaded items? Some youtube channels are pretty random with their order...

Lovely piece of software as it is nevertheless, good job!

Hi,
With the latest version og gPodder it stop working for me, when I start the gPodder and the main screen newer show up on my N900.
What to do?

I fix it, I uninstall it, then install it again and then it works again.

This is a known problem (http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2009-October/021419.html) with optification (http://wiki.maemo.org/Opt_Problem). It will only happen for cases where you have an older version of gPodder installed and install an optified version now.

The solution for you right now is to simply uninstall gPodder using the Application Manager and re-install it again after uninstalling. Sorry for the inconvenience :/

Yes, please :) Your icons make that dialog look more serious ;) Oh, and here is a list of all the actions that could potentially be shown in that window, maybe you have ideas for the icons that are not shown in that screenshot as well?

Play (a downloaded file)
Stream (play without downloading first)
Download
Cancel (the currently running download)
Delete (the downloaded file)
Mark as new
Do not download (the opposite of "mark as new")
Visit website (open the web browser with the episode's website)
Pause download (for currently-running downloads)
Resume download (could just be the same as download, though)

Thanks :)

Edit: Measurements are (at the moment) 96x96 pixels.

Thanks, looks good so far. I would require them to be licensed under the terms of the "GPLv3 or later" (or a compatible/more permissive license, e.g. public domain also works) if I am to include it directly in the gPodder distribution - it would make my life much easier :)

Of course you will be mentioned in the contributors list if your icons are added to gPodder (except if you explicitly don't want to be mentioned ;)). And no, I did not have time to integrate them yet - I'm waiting for some more feedback (http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2009/11/experimental-maemo-5-ui-gpodder-episode.html) and will probably decide if/how/where this is going to be added next week or in Barcelona (http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo-Barcelona_Long_Weekend).

I thought artwork was usually licensed under Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) licenses. But I don't really care that much so let's just say they are licensed under GPLv3.

It let's you know that you are really nuking your files. ;)

I'll make a trash can for you if it's that important. :)

I quite like gPodder so far. The interface looks good and is quite intuitive. Never the less I do have to questions:

1. I have exported an OPML file from itunes and wanted to import it into gPodder, but I am afraid I don't see how to do it. Is there a way to import and OPML file with my subscriptions? I already have it on my N900.
2. I have noticed that when the podcasts are not bookmarked so that it remembers where I left in order to start at that point again. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

First of all I would like to thank for this great piece of software. The UI is really well designed and using it feels good. It has all the functions that I need and nothing extra which makes it a pleasant experience.

However, I'm having trouble with the downloads. I'm experiencing lotsa timeouts. If I queue 5 downloads I can be pretty sure most of them end up failing with a "Connection timed out" error message. I have to once in a while go to the active downloads list and manually resume all failed downloads. gpodder downloads seem be a resource hog. During downloads python seems to be taking something like 80% of the CPU. Would it be possible to have some kind of a auto-resume where gpodder would try to auto-resume timed out downloads say 5 times?

1. I have exported an OPML file from itunes and wanted to import it into gPodder, but I am afraid I don't see how to do it. Is there a way to import and OPML file with my subscriptions? I already have it on my N900.

Please file this as a feature request ("Please add OPML file import to gPodder") at https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gPodder

In the mean time, the workaround is as follows:

Save the file to the data folder of your N900 (so that it appears in the file list that appears when clicking on your device in the file manager, or /home/user/MyDocs in "technical terms")
Start gPodder and click on the "Subscribe" button
Click on "OPML file from the web"
Enter "file:///home/user/MyDocs/filename.opml" (where filename.opml is the name of your OPML file)
You should now see the feeds from your OPML file - pick the ones you want to add to gPodder

(The feature request that you are hopefully going to file is for another button "OPML file on my device" that will utilize a proper file chooser instead of having you enter the file:// URL.)

2. I have noticed that when the podcasts are not bookmarked so that it remembers where I left in order to start at that point again. Am I doing something wrong?

The built-in media player does not do that for audio files (bug 1129 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129)), although it does it for video files.

Panucci (http://panucci.garage.maemo.org/) does that, but it is currently not selectable from within gPodder (this is already filed as bug 6325 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6325) - feel free to subscribe to it) - in a future version, you will be able to choose between Media Player and Panucci for playing audio files in gPodder, and when selecting Panucci, it will remember the playback position of the podcast.

The workaround here is to install Panucci and manually open files from the "Podcasts" folder where the files are downloaded.

Thanks for the info, @thp

The manual importing of the opml file you suggest worked fine. Thanks! The only issue I ran into is that with some, not all, feeds it marks absolutely all episodes as new whereas with other feeds it only marks the last one as new. I guess the latter is preferable. It is probably something that depends on the feed as opposed to gPodder.

At least, I now have all my feeds neatly in gPodder without too much hassle. Great.

As for Panucci, is it also available for Maemo 5? I see it exists for OS2008, but I don't see a referece to the newest version of Maemo. Please let me know if it is available and where to download.

Re. the bug reporting, I have never done this, but I'll give it a try. At first glance it looked a little daunting, but perhaps this afternoon with more time, I'll manage.

Thanks again!

It's currently sitting in Extras-Testing (http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras-testing_free_armel/panucci/0.3-8thp0/), so it's not available from the stable Extras repository.

Daniel has written a step-by-step guide (http://danielwilms.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/extras-testing-step-by-step/) on how to enable Extras-Testing and how to review/rate applications.

Hellol, this is a fine application. One of the best for N900.

However the program structure is a little restricting.

Can you please add "play all selected new downloads" to the downloads screen?

I cannot log into bugs.maemo.org to submit feature request. The password is not being updated. Therefore I ask here.

Forgive me, I'm not sure if you would prefer this as a bug report.

On my fresh n900 (nothing migrated from my n810) after installing gpodder from extras-testing and trying to launch gpodder for the first time it loads up' gives the "please wait/loading settings" then crashes after a moment.

I tried gpodder-backup --purge but the behavior remained unchanged.

trying from the command line I get:
~ $ gpodder

i dont like the way it handles opml files b/c when i add one and subscribe to podcast from it clears directory so i have to type in opml file again to subscribe to another.
apart from that its a great application
if you don't understand what i mean add the below opml and try subscribe to multiple podcasts from it without having to type in opml multiple times.

The list for the OPML import is a multi-selection list. Select all the podcasts you want *before* clicking on "Subscribe" ;)
is there no way to save OPML directory so I can go back at a later date to subscribe to more, it would be a most welcomed feature.
i want to add i love gPodder and i'm not complaining just trying throw ideas about, even if it was never upgraded ever again i'd still be more than happy with it

Ah, so you want to enter an OPML URL and then have a kind of "recent history" of OPML URLs you have entered? Makes sense. Could you add this as a feature request to https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gPodder? Thanks :)

Sounds like you don't have proper permissions on ~/.config/gpodder/database.sqlite or the file is opened by someone else. Please check - maybe another gPodder instance is still running? Also, try to remove ~/.config/gpodder/ (backup any existing data in case you need it later) and start gPodder again.

Is there a Christian podcast for the N900? I tried to search in gpodder but couldn't find one.

I think you can add any of the ones from http://www.godcast1000.com/ for example. Or do you mean a podcast about the N900 *and* christianity all rolled into one?

Hey, any chance you could put a >= dependency to the new optified python version so that people who use gpodder will be dragged to optified python. We will have otherwise space issues with people who had started to use the old python.

I'm pretty sure that this is not a good way to handle things as it's generally a bad idea to make things explicitly depend on things that they don't NEED.

If you want to get your python optified, just do a "sudo gainroot" followed by an "apt-get dist-upgrade". I make no promises this won't break your N900 but it worked for me.

I just set up a account on gpodder, to sort out the podcasts on the pc and uploaded them onto the website to sync with the n900 gpodder version. but after entering my credentials on the n900 and downloaded my subscriptions, it showed me a list with around 20 new episodes, then get stuck in a dialog where it asks me to upload the subscription to the web when closing (just like the windows version which i used to managed the feeds). But the issue i had with the dialog, i actually couldn't see it until i switched to the taskmanager where it showed up on the thumbnail but i coudn't confirm my choice since it somehow where in the back. no idea if this is a bug or not, i killed the task in the shell and then it came up fine....

just thought i let you know.

and a feature suggestion: an option where new episodes are only be downloaded automaticaly over wlan and not over 3g would be nice, at least for guys with limited data plans...

and sorry for my bad english

ps: i could reproduce it, everytime i download my subscriptions from the website the dialog show up, is there a flag i could set in a config file?

pss: nevermind, i started gpodder in portrait mode and tried to download my streams again, this time the dialogue showed up correctly

Get gPodder 2.0+git20091206-2 from Extras-Devel or wait another week for me to catch up and release version 2.1 (which will then be promoted to Extras-Testing). gPodder 2.0+git20091206-2 contains a setting in the preferences dialog for the audio player, and you can select Panucci there.

Hi All,

I just have a quick question regarding gPodder, I only got my N900 on Wed night, and installed gPodder from the Extras repo (too scared to use Testing/Devel after all the warnings I've reaed on here).

Basically, when I get it to search for new podcasts at regular intervals and download them automatically, does that also happen in the background without me having to open gPodder? So if I reboot my device and don't open gPodder it'll still work?

Also, I take it it works over both WLAN & 3.5G/3G? If it's not already due to be implemented, it'd be nice to have and option to only download when connected to WLAN. Or even perform an unscheduled check when you change from 3G to WLAN. So for example you get home and the N900 connecets to your WLAN, and gPodder "sees" this, then check for new updates and downloads them.

Sorry I went off on a tangent there. Great app btw, very useful. My only "problem" which, isn't with gPodder really, is that when I start listening to a podcast naturally sometimes I have to stop listening part way through and there doesn't seem to be a way to resume from where I left off. Am I being dense, or is there no way to resume listen of music/podcasts?

No, at the moment, gPodder is only active when it's started (i.e. its window is visible). This way, it does not drain your battery or take up memory when you do not expect it.

So for example you get home and the N900 connecets to your WLAN, and gPodder "sees" this, then check for new updates and downloads them.

That's a planned feature, but at the moment, you can only set the downloads to be "queued", and resume them whenever you go on WiFi manually. See also: bug 5181 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5181)

Not with the built-in media player (see bug 1129 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129)). Panucci does exactly that, although it is only available in Extras-Testing at the moment (need more testers to vote on it). In the next release of gPodder (and in the one in Extras-Devel at the moment), you can choose Panucci as an alternative player for audio podcasts.

I'm still too scared about using the testing repo, people keep warning me about it lol!

Not sure this is possible, would think it is, perhaps a widget could be created that links to gPodder. That you could set an update interval on (so as not to waste too much battery) that would do the checking for new podcasts (and start gPodder downloading them if that setting is set) then display some kind of notification that there's new podcasts/downloads.

What do you think?

It's definitely possible, but at the moment I don't have time to implement it, as it has low priority for me personally (leaving gPodder running during the night while on the charger with auto-update and auto-download enabled mostly does the trick for me).

Thanks, this is helpful. I've forwarded this to Niels who will probably manually promote python-glade2 (2.12.1-6maemo10) to -Testing. There seems to be a bug in the promotion interface, because earlier today, python-gtk2 (with the exact same version) was not available in Extras-Testing, although it should have been promoted automatically when gPodder was promoted from -Devel to -Testing, as gPodder has a versioned dependency on "python-gtk2 (>= 2.12.1-6maemo10)".

(As a workaround, you could remove python-glade2, but there is probably some other application that depends on it, because otherwise it would not be installed in the first place. An "apt-get remove python-glade2" in X-Terminal as root tells you more.)

I apologize if this has been posted already or this is already fixed in a version of GPodder in testing or devel. I would search the thread but I did a quick search for delete and didn't find anything (and I have a bio final at 9 tomorrow >.<) But is there anyway to delete multiple podcasts? I'm using the one in extras and the only way I've found so far is to delete them one by one which is time consuming.

Similarly, is there anyway to download multiple podcasts from the same website (e.g. sort of what the rest of the N900's file system does where you can click multiple files then choose move/delete/etc..).

There's no timed/background processing of podcast feeds. GPodder only fetches those when you start the application.

The ability to set rules per podcast. For example, there are some podcasts I always want to listen to. While other ones I only want to listen to it once in a while. When you update the podcasts you get a huge list of podcasts returned and you may not want to download all of them. So for certain podcasts a rule could be created to always download the podcast, while others will only download if selected from the list.

If it's not to difficult to do or sounds like a good idea I'll add it to the requests on bugzilla.

Hi,

Is there any way for gPodder to import some existing mp3s as if I downloaded them directly on the N900? I have a bunch of them on my computer but re-downloading them is impossible because the feeds don't list them anymore.

I poked a bit at the sqlite db and it seems like I could manually INSERT them. Am I missing something? Is there a better way?

Other than this admittedly rare use case, this is a fantastic piece of software, and bravo to both the upstream developers and the ones who ported it to maemo. Thanks!

It's actually not very uncommon that people want this feature. It's a problem from a metadata standpoint (you can't really determine a episode URL + description, etc.. when the episode has been removed from the page). And yes, editing the sqlite database at ~/.config/gpodder/database.sqlite is the way to go. If you start hacking on such a tool, please make it a bit more generic (maybe even with GUI support to "match" unknown files to episodes in the feed or create new episodes based on the files?) and share the results, I'm happy to include such a utility in the gPodder source releases (and you would make several users happy that have the same problem).

You can actually do this by selecting "Panucci" as audio player from gPodder's preferences menu (available through the app menu [titlebar] in the main view [in 2.1 and earlier: the one with the three big buttons]). Have fun :)

Love gpodder. When it comes to subscribing lots of feeds I rather ssh and use gpo subscribe url command. Specially with those long feed paths. The problem is that you never see it in gpodder, all the ones that I added. Is this a problem or did not do something. Overall looks good.

In the next version, you will be able to add your my.gpodder.org account to gPodder and add subscriptions via the comfortable web interface from your computer (even if you N900 isn't online), and the next time you start gPodder, it will ask if you want to subscribe to the given podcasts from the web service.

For now, you can use "gpodder --fremantle --subscribe=http://example.org/podcast.rss" to use the GUI to subscribe to podcasts, or simply use "feedhandler http://example.org/podcast.rss" (if you have feedhandler installed) and select "gPodder" from the resulting dialog.

If "gpo subscribe" does not work, that's a bug, and should be filed as such ;) I don't use the CLI client that much, and I agree that it does need some love.

The "play all" feature will be gone in the next version, I think, and a different mechanism will be used, which makes it easier to play episodes directly from the list.

i also have a quesion, why does gpodder not autoupdate if it's not open?

Because if it would, people would complain why gPodder auto-updates when it's not opened. That's especially important when you consider that not everyone has an unlimited data plan (and updating feeds does consume some traffic) and that parsing the XML of the feeds does require some processing power.

In short: gPodder does not auto-update in the background, because it's not implemented yet, and it would be bad for the battery life of your device (and might be bad for your finances if you have a non-unlimited data plan).

thp

01-31-2010, 05:56 AM

Since the last few days gPodder finds only the first podcast of a feed. I have tried it with several feeds and even feeds which were shown completely before show now only one podcast. It can still find new episodes but only one and it displays only the most current one. How can I solve that behaviour? All those feeds look fine with other tools.

Maybe you have (accidentally?) changed the view settings to show only "new" episodes? In the episode list, tap the title bar and then you have different choices at the top of the menu. Select a different item (e.g. "All" to show all, or "Deleted" to show all + deleted episodes).

btw: Why are there two threads (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=502003&highlight=gpodder#post502003) for gPodder?

This thread is for gPodder on Fremantle (that's "Maemo 5" in marketing speak) and the other thread is for gPodder on Diablo (that's "Maemo 4", or when talking about devices, it's N800 and N810).

Could do, and would work. Please file it as enhancement request on bugs.maemo.org, so I don't forget to implement it eventually. Bonus points for adding basic info about how to get the settings from Maemo, which will speed up the implementation, as I don't have to spend time on hunting down documentation and digging through source code, but can go straight to implementing it :)

Hi, I installed gpodder 2.1-1 through maemo.org repository. When i try to open a downloaded podcast in gpodder, mediaplayer says "file not found". The podcast i downloaded is in mp3-format.

Do you know whats wrong?

Sounds like bug 7162 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7162). Will be fixed in the next release, out "really soon now"(tm).

I added a few podcasts on gpodder.com (because it is easier to browse and search on a proper PC rather than the N900) but can't get them synced with my device.

I go to add new podcast>

Then from the select a source option I select download from my.gpodder.org>

Then I am not what to do next. Presumably I select Enable syncronization of subsrciption list. I also need to select device type and then tap on select device. However, each time I do this gpodder completely freezes up and I have press the power button and then end task.

So could someone please guide me on how to synch. Thanks.

There is an updated version in extras-testing now. I needed to change edit my device on my.gpodder.org (change name, device typ and ID) to match it with the N900.

But I am missing a button to really sync the device. When i click "add new podcast" -> " "download from my.gpodder" all I get is the settings dialog and there is no button for synching. just "overwrite server list with device list".

(sorry for maybe wrong translation because my gpodder is in german)

I found that streaming video podcasts don't work, but downloading them, then playing them works fine.(ill file a bug later)

Also, a few things which i'm not sure if they have been covered or not:

1) A way of marking podcasts as complete once the entire podcast has been listened to rather than just part of it

2) Remember where you are up to in the podcast (this could maybe be linked to number 1)

3) More search options, maybe include the nokia podcasting repositories, or make the youtube one easier to use, (i.e. I did a search for Carpool, and got about 20 listings, I wasn't sure which was the correct one, so maybe if the description was shown you could work that out?)

That's all I can think of at the minute, but it is a fantastic program, I don't miss nokia podcasting one bit!!!

1) A way of marking podcasts as complete once the entire podcast has been listened to rather than just part of it

2) Remember where you are up to in the podcast (this could maybe be linked to number 1)

You can use Panucci for that - simply install it from the Extras repository and set it as audio player in gPodder's preferences dialog.

3) More search options, maybe include the nokia podcasting repositories, or make the youtube one easier to use, (i.e. I did a search for Carpool, and got about 20 listings, I wasn't sure which was the correct one, so maybe if the description was shown you could work that out?)

We can't really access the Nokia Podcasting Repositories, but we plan on integrating the search of my.gpodder.org in the application's UI at some point. The YouTube search results list the names of the users (i.e. channels). You can search for interesting podcasts on the website and if you have found the right channel, simply use the username of the publisher in the YouTube search and subscribe to the search result with the same name.

i like the idea of gpodder in connection with panucci to be able to resume playing atleast that what i assume is possible with "wiedergabe fortsetzen" aka "resume playing". but all downloaded mp3s don't play in panucci for me. the timebar shows 0:00 and the pause button remains green. is there sth wrong with my installation?

EDIT: there is also sth wrong with my susbscriptions. i was wondering why there are no new podcasts and so i checked my subscriptions manually with my.gpodder.org. and there was everything uptodate. i did another refresh within gpodder and it found just one new podcast. strangely even in this subscription were more than one new item available...

In short: gPodder does not auto-update in the background, because it's not implemented yet, and it would be bad for the battery life of your device (and might be bad for your finances if you have a non-unlimited data plan).

I hope it will be implemented someday - it is possible to make an optional restriction "update via wifi only"? There is cron package for maemo, so scheduled update should not be a problem..

1. I am consistently getting error messagaes when I try to download:

"Download error
Download error while downloading ........ No such file or directory: '/home/user/MyDocs/Podcasts/.......

2. If I select M Player as the default player for video files anytime I get an email, text, call, Mplayer freezes up. I have to quit the application and when I reopen I have to start the podcast from the beginning. And then there is no way to move the video forward to where I stopped from. I have to listen right from the start. I have now had to switch back to using the default player for this reason.

I'm using Gpodder, and I have to say it is perfect for my needs.
However, I have an idea for a possible improvement. Since I have the podcasts folder mapped for the Media Player, sometimes I find myself listening to them there.
Is there a way for Media Player to tell Gpodder that the podcast was already listened to?
Thanks for a great app!

thp

03-11-2010, 12:38 PM

Is there a way for Media Player to tell Gpodder that the podcast was already listened to?

It depends. First of all, the only way (AFAIK) that the media player notes that a file is played is by setting its playcount, and this only happens when you play it fully (or at least to some percentage of the full track). Second, we could create another "daemon" that watches in the background and watches D-Bus for "play" events from MAFW (the backend for the media player). I guess you don't want to have gPodder itself running in the background while you are operating with media player, right?

Another (likely) option is that Panucci does take care of the play position and playcount (which it already does to a degree) and Panucci and gPodder will handle the "played" status of the episodes together, so when you play something in Panucci, gPodder will notice the next time it starts.

thp

03-11-2010, 12:40 PM

Have you ever thought about the possibility to view in the Podcast list the lenth of each Podcast?

Yes - the problem right now is that we can only determine the length for downloaded episodes reliably (and even then it takes some time to process the files and extract the length). The feeds by themselves only tell us the size of the file in bytes (and some don't even give us that information..). It's something that we might offer in the near future, though.

(I've fixed the "p"ackage link in the original post, too. Thanks.)

It will be really great to turn a usual rss with embedded youtube video to podcast. There is a python script youtube-dl: http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/wiki/Home , which can download any youtube video. It works fine on N900, so I assume that everything it needs is installed.

Ever since the latest update (I think), only thumbnail pictures are downloaded for Dutch Radio 1 podcast (http://www.radio1.nl/fragments.rss).

A regression since the release in which we also support image-only feeds (i.e. you can subscribe to a Flickr account and download images from there - gPodder wasn't accepting images at all in releases before that, that's why it worked).

This is gPodder bug 979 (https://bugs.gpodder.org/show_bug.cgi?id=979), and has been fixed in commit 5a16cd38 (http://gpodder.org/commit/5a16cd38). The fix will be part of the next gPodder release.

'Error while uploading
NotFound'

This happens then I click on the 'replace local list with online list' in the settings.

A bug in the gPodder 2.5 UI for gpodder.net. Try changing the device name or type and then close the gPodder configuration window, wait a bit (for the device to be created) and then try again. The problem is that in this version, sometimes the device does not get created on the server, and in this case, the upload will fail, as the device on the server cannot be found.

This has already been dealt with in the development version and will also be part of the next release (the device settings are uploaded more often, which will guarantee that the device is created when it's needed).

to backup my gpodder config, the files I've downloaded, and what's been played do I just backup the gpodder folder that's hopefully in /home/user/ or /home?

The easy variant:

To backup, use this command:

gpodder-backup -c /home/user/MyDocs/my-backup.gpo.tgz

Copy the file my-backup.gpo.tgz off the device if you want and back to the device when you want to restore the backup.

To restore, use this command:

gpodder-backup -x /path/to/my-backup.gpo.tgz

If you want to remove all settings and downloads, you can use this command before restoring a backup or to start afresh (be aware that this cannot be undone and you should make a backup first if you want to retain your settings, database and downloads):

gpodder-backup --purge

See the manpage of gpodder-backup for more information.

The hard variant: Back it up manually. The downloads are in /home/user/MyDocs/Podcasts and the database and config in /home/user/.config/gpodder/.

You set up gpodder.net synchronization and then you can subscribe to new podcasts by simply going to gpodder.net, logging in with your data and add a new podcast to your device. The next time your start gPodder on your device, and you hit "Check for updates", it will offer to subscribe to the podcasts you added on the web. The same works for unsubscribing.

When you re-install gPodder, you can then restore your subscriptions from the web as well. Episode events are synchronized as well, and with the new Panucci version, this will eventually lead to a setup where you can listen halfway into an episode on your Desktop computer and then continue at the exact same position on your N900 - but we aren't there yet (things are coming along, though..).

That's covered by bug 5182 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5182), which is still open - please feel free to vote for it and subscribe to it.

For deleting episodes: This already works in the main window ("Delete episodes" in the app menu) and in the "All episodes" view (there's also a "Delete episodes" in the app menu, which is just a convenience shortcut to the same feature in case you have this view open and don't want to switch to the main view). Clicking it will reveal a selector window where you can chose which episodes to delete. "Kept" episodes are hidden from this view, so if you make good use of the "keep" feature, you can simply select all (or select unplayed) episodes and remove them without having to worry about losing the "kept" episodes.

This seems to be a regression. Please file a bug on the bug tracker. You can reach it via the "Report a bug" button in the about dialog.

When I devote some time to hacking on gPodder, I have a look at the open bugs in the bug tracker, and use it as my TODO list. So you can effectively add things to my TODO list (for gPodder) by filing a bug report. The worst thing that can happen is that I'll close it as WONTFIX, but you can expect a good justification from me in this case. The best thing that can happen is that it'll be fixed in the next release :)

Another advantage of the bug tracker is that in case something is unclear, or I can't reproduce it, I can always directly answer to the original poster, who will then get an e-mail. You'll also get notified when the bug status changes (e.g. when the bug is fixed or the feature is implemented).

(You probably already know all of this, but I though I'd put it in this thread once in case new users come along and don't know what the point of a bug tracker is :))

...oh, and something else for the wish-list... could it be "play all new episodes" instead of play all downloads? that'd be quite useful...

This is a feature request. Please file it as such on the bug tracker. Again, you can reach it by going to the about dialog and clicking on "Report a bug" (set the severity to "enhancement" for feature requests). I'll usually implement feature requests if they make sense and I have time to implement them.

Will do so today. The new version will be gPodder 2.7-2. The fix will only be uploaded to the Fremantle repository (N900). A fix for Maemo 4 (N800/N810) will be available with the next release.

Yes, close gPodder and edit the file ~/.config/gpodder/gpodder.conf and there you will find "max_downloads" - set this to the desired value (e.g. max_downloads = 2). Please note that this might decrease the overall responsiveness of your device while gPodder is downloading files (that's also why this defaults to 1 and isn't exposed in the GUI).

gpodder has an automatic update interval in the settings, but it has never automatically updated anything for me, is it supposed to, or does it only work if gpodder is open, maybe in the background?

pelago

I'm pretty sure gpodder has to be running for the automatic update to work. It would be nice if there was a service or a crob job or something that could do the updating without the main gpodder executable having to be running all the time.

Hi,

I'm having an issue importing the attached OPML file that I got from the Podcasting application of my previous phone, the Nokia E61i. I've looked at the OPML file and it looks good to me, but I'm no expert...

I did have to remove some ^M characters from the original file and I changed the url attribute to xmlUrl, but that was obviously not enough.

The message I get in gPodder is:

"No podcasts found. Try another source."

Please note that I renamed the file to ...txt only to be able to attach it here. On the device I use the file with the .opml extension.

[EDIT]
After creating this post, I was able to run the OPML Validator (http://validator.opml.org/) and I found an issue. The version attribute was missing in the opml tag. Unfortunately, even after adding it, I still hit the same error in gPodder.

It would be great if Gpodder can remember the player position after quiting it.

magnuslu

08-14-2010, 12:25 AM

The message I get in gPodder is:

"No podcasts found. Try another source."

Ok, the problem seems to be that gPodder doesn't handle certain special characters in the opml file. I removed the 'Swedish' characters (ä) and the

&

and

'

that I had in there as well. After that it worked just fine.

thp

08-14-2010, 06:58 AM

Ok, the problem seems to be that gPodder doesn't handle certain special characters in the opml file.

Yes, I just checked it with your file - Python's XML parser seems to have a problem with the file - it's encoded in iso-8859-1 (you can use the "file" utility to do some rough encoding detection - it gives "ISO-8859 English text" for me), and you have to escape the chars there. If you convert the file to utf-8, it works with umlauts as well, and gPodder happily imports it:

iconv -fiso-8859-1 -tutf-8 Podcasting.opml > Podcasting2.opml

Alternatively, you can (should?) specify the encoding in the document. You have to add the following line at the very beginning of your OPML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

More info at http://www.opentag.com/xfaq_enc.htm, especially:

Note that the encoding of an XML document is never iso-8859-1 by default.

Maybe you can contact the authors of the application from which you exported the OPML file from and tell them about this bug in their export function - it's not a bug or shortcoming in gPodder, the file is invalid - you could check with any strict XML parser.

It would be great if Gpodder can remember the player position after quiting it.

gPodder only sends a message to your audio player to play the file and doesn't attempt to track playback position itself. However if you use the Panucci player this does support 'bookmarking' the audio playback and you can configure gPodder to open your podcasts with that player instead of the default - as long as you have Panucci installed that is.

If Panucci is installed you can set it as the player to use in gPodder's settings.

So Strange. I don't understand why I'm obliged to use an other app to have this function. It's so... stupid. I like Gpodder, it's a good app but this is stupid. "Listen" app on Android is a good example to follow: you can download the podcast and listen it in the same application with playback position.

I've already use panucci but I don"t like the interface.
Thanks for your answer

Thp wrote both GPodder, and Panucci. He just choose to seperate the functionality since he didn't seem to want to include the player with the Podcast manager.

Your welcome to write your own Podcast management application with integrated player. =P. Not sure if GPodder's code is open source but you could always fork it and do it yourself.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is my device only. But Gpodder seems to stay in the memory for sometime after I close it. Usually happens after I play some podcasts in Panucci. Any idea of what log I could send you thp? It eats around 10% CPU usage so I wind up having to kill the process.

I'm just another user like yourself but have the opposite reaction to this. The last thing I need is yet another application with an embedded player that does one thing well and several other things not so well or poorly.

For me the decision to keep the applications seperate is a good one, and I wouldn't wish to see gPodder dilluted by integrating a media (video and audio) player.

We all have differing needs I guess.

Hi. Many thanks for gpodder. Use it every day. However,
I updated to 2.7-2 last night and gpodder no longer updates the status of my podcasts, from unplayed to played, after opening them in panucci, even if they have played right through.

Yes, this is probably a problem with using a non-0.9 version of Panucci with gPodder. gPodder thinks that Panucci will inform it about play events, but the old version of Panucci does not do this.

You have two options:

Edit ~/.config/gpodder/gpodder.conf (while gPodder is NOT running) and set audio_played_dbus = False
Install Panucci 0.9 (it's in Extras-Devel, and is missing some features from 0.3.x, but reports playback status)

Keep gPodder open while you are playing podcasts. It will watch the status of the built-in media player and will update the played state when you have played more than 5 seconds of the podcast. It will also remember the last position and resume from there with the built-in media player. And it will show that position and total length in the "Play" button.

Thanks, although what I was trying to ask for was something for the more lazy/casual user who uses this forum and gpodder, but who may not be aware of gpodder.org. It was just a thought as I've seen the developers of other software post its changelog into its t.m.o thread which is convenient for the users, although I appreciate it is more work for you.

Alternatively or in addition, it would be useful if the changelog could show up in hildon-application-manager. Again, I've seen this for other apps but not for gpodder.

The reason for this is described in this mailing list post:

http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2009-November/022368.html

And yes, the reason for not posting the changelog here is just plain lazyness (also, the release time does not coincide with the time the package enters Extras due to QA, etc.. - so the question also is when to post the changelog). I do, however, tend to write useful end-user friendly changelog entries in debian/changelog, which is parsed and displayed here: http://maemo.org/packages/view/gpodder/ (at least since version 2.8 ;)).

At the moment gPodder marks podcasts only as "heard" or "unheard".

Yes, this was something we even discussed last December in Barcelona, although at that time playback status tracking was not implemented. If you look closely at the bottom center of this photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigert/4157508663/), you'll see that we intended to have "cake" graphics for the playback status in the episode list. It's still on the radar, just not implemented yet. The MAFW integration in 2.8 does bring us a lot closer, as now nearly every gPodder user on the N900 should have their playback status tracked inside gPodder.

Yes, I can see that the notification feature is useful for people who keep gPodder running in the background all the time, but not for people (like me) who don't.

I use settings:

Check for new episodes: Manually
When new episodes are found: Show episode list

With the old version, I would run gPodder, click the "Check for new episodes" button, then end up at the list of podcasts to download (in my case, usually just one episode to download).

When the new version, I run gPodder, click the "Check for new episodes" button, just as before. However now I either have to be keep an eye on the screen and quickly click the yellow notification in the top-left at the correct time to reach the window showing me the new episodes, or if I miss that, I have to click the task switcher button then click on the yellow thumbnail window. For me, this is a decrease in usability.

How do I added it to the list of available media players? Since VLC is still very much in development I might have to switch back to mPlayer or the default Media Player. Plus, right now it doesn't seem to be able to play the videos. I tried playing a few streams but nothing.

I think what you want is this: http://gpodder.org/bug/902 - the idea is to allow to re-import single files as downloads without re-downloading stuff. You still need to have a list of your podcasts, e.g. from an OPML file or via gpodder.net.

gPodder has its own database where it saves subscriptions, episode metadata and other things. It's located in ~/.config/gpodder. There's a backup utility called "gpodder-backup" that takes care of saving your downloads and database + config in a single backup file - you might want to use it the next time you experience the same problem.

Still, a feature as described in bug 902 ("import" an old download folder or single files into gPodder as downloaded episodes) would be helpful.

No. There were plans to integrate it with the built-in backup app, but it turned out that it's quite difficult, and there is also not a good category in the backup app ("Communication and Calendar", "Bookmarks", "Settings" and "Application list" being the available categories).

The related bugs for this:

7051: Backup should include /home/user/.config/* by default (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7051)
5636: gPodder settings (Preferences, Subscription list...) not backed up by Nokia Backup tool (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5636)

There are also problems with situations like gPodder running while a backup is saved/restored or a backup restore overwriting the gPodder configuration. Your user data (subscriptions + episode status) is synchronized to gpodder.net (and backed up there as well) if you create an account there and enable synchronization.

Does anyone have a gpodder high CPU usage when gpodder is in the background when your playing an audio or video podcast? I know there's MAFW communication going on but sometimes (not always) it stutters and freezes up the video with two or three gpodder processes eating up CPU usage at the same time (checked via htop).

i do have a request/suggestion concerning the maemo version. could there be a quicker way to delete multiple episodes? or even an auto delete function (after X days). i find it really tiresome to manually delete one episode at a time (unless im missing something :))

The multi-episode delete feature is available in the main window app menu.

For the automatic deletion, this is already implemented in the Desktop version - the Maemo version only needs its settings exposed. If you feel adventurous, you can already enable the feature in gpodder.conf and have old episodes automatically deleted on startup (be sure to mark all interesting episodes as "keep" to prevent them from being deleted).

The chances are higher if you file a feature request on bugs.maemo.org with a detailed proposal of where and how this should be positioned/work. You might want to take the desktop version as an example of the preferences UI and suggest something for Maemo :)

Is there a way to play all episodes in a podcast in order? I don't want to have to select each episode one-by-one. For now I have resorted to using the built-in media player's database to browse and play all episodes.
It conflicts a bit with the way resuming is implemented. That said, it should be possible (and gPodder should correctly receive playback actions, just not resume when playing multiple files) and just requires some UI elements. Go and file a feature request at bugs.maemo.org (Extras / gPodder) and I'll have a look at it eventually :)

I also vote for playing multiple episodes (at least all unplayed downloads, as it was before). without this feature I can use gpodder for episodes download only and then play them in the media player (as rfeese wrotes) :(

should we file a new enhancement bug for this? it seems to be included in https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5182 but I think the playing action is the most important.

Please start gPodder in X Terminal like this:

gpodder --verbose

Then try to reproduce the problem and post the output here.

Thanks for the great program, Thomas! I'm listening to an ABC HealthReport podcast on gPodder 2.9 right now! (second podcast for the day).

I do have some feature requests, and both are related to Chinese language learning....

www.chinesepod.com Podcasts include PDFs, which are not handled by the MediaPlayer (or MediaBox). It would be great to have an option to use a PDF reader (not many choices, unfortunately) for PDFs.

www.cslpod.com has notes for each Podcast. The notes include the Chinese transcript for the lesson. It would nice if people could 'copy and paste' a few characters from the transcript, making it easier to use a dictionary program such as MStardict or Qstardict.

Or maybe I should stop listening to 'radio'-style programs and start listening to more music instead!

Thanks for the app again!

David.

Thanks; I've fixed this now in the development version (the support for it was already there, but the multi-episode playback feature for Maemo 4 broke the PDF detection, so the fix was simply to directly open single files and only use playlists for more than one file):

http://gpodder.org/commit/124960c5

The fix will be part of the next gPodder release.

Am I correct in assuming that /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mygpoclient/ has something to do with the syncing to the online webservice? Watching the verboose output and watching my CPU usage with the N900 idle or playin a video seems to result in alot of the http.py and json.py resulting in NotFound() before the worker request finishes.

I don't know if it is just me, but whenever i drop a connection (usually when i leave a wifi area) I get the same "Downloads Failed" message pop up multiple times.

Is this a known bug?

* The "There Lies A Widget, Stir!" release
* Optimized episode list model (much faster loading)
* Pause subscriptions via a podcast's app menu
* Multi-episode deletion in episode lists app menu
* Automatic deletion of old episodes after X days
* Don't set resume point when playing finished episodes
* Cleaned-up UI elements and better display of lists
