Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player

I use the lastest version of panucci (0.9). there are small cuts each time I lock the N900 or when I switch to an other application.

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player

I am trying to find options or settings to do some things I thought were available in Pannucci.

I use gPodder to get my podcasts. How do I find and listen to all podcasts: by podcast title or by date?
....I currently create an "allpods.m3u" via a script. Is there a better way?

How do I delete podcasts (from disk and from gPodder) after listening to them?

How do I jump to "newshour" podcasts without fast-forwarding through about half of my podcasts, marking them as "read"?

Can I listen to podcasts at 2x speed?

Regarding gPodder: opening gPodder is quite "messy". I appreciate that gPodder is a bit "heavy" but I'm thinking that if you threw up a small bitmap that didn't dissapear/reappear/disappear/reappear the loading might appear more seamless.

Thanks, These are great programs!

Yes, I've noticed that. Sometimes when launching gPodder, I see an initial screen but then it switches to the task switcher. I think this started with the same recent update which brought the yellow notifications for new episodes.

Not yet. Currently, the preferred media player by the gPodder project is the build-in media player, as we now have great resume and position tracking support since version 2.8.

There's a "Delete episodes" button in the gPodder main window and in the "All episodes" window. You can also delete episodes one-by-one by long-pressing on them and choosing "Delete" in gPodder.

Use Media Player and select the episode from gPodder's "All episodes" view.

Not yet. That depends on the availability of a time stretching module in GStreamer, and support for it in either Panucci (more likely) or Media Player (less likely, because MAFW is complicated).

Actually, the black window that appears right after you click on the icon is just a fake window from the window manager to make the startup feel faster. What you see is that gPodder takes too long to show its initial window, which makes the window manager hide the fake window again (you can test this by clicking on the task switcher button quickly when the first window appears - you'll see that the window isn't visible in the list of open tasks, because it is not there yet).

There's nothing an app developer can do except make application startup faster, so that the fake window is still visible when the main window is first shown. My time is limited, so right now, I'm spending more time on improving the user experience and fixing bugs and after that, I might have a look at optimizing startup time (but anyone is welcome to jump in and submit patches - gPodder is an open source project!).

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player

Thanks.

I'm listening over Bluetooth 99% of the time. There seems to be a bug with the stack, as every time a call or email notification comes in, and playback stops, it never resumes. {at least not for 15 minutes - I've waited this long} So I need to kill Media Player (or Panucci) - re-open it - and find my place. Panucci really wins here!

I've been deleting podcasts through gPodder, but this is "sub-optimal" Some podcasts {like TWIT} are 90-120 minutes, "60-Second Science" episodes go by MUCH more often :-) It would be nice if I didn't need to flip back and forth between the two apps. If Panucci could delete files {in a way that "worked" with gPodder} I'd be set!!! :-)

Thanks for the software - Panucci and gPodder are the main apps (along with gnumeric and Mail for Exchange) that make me happy with my N900.

I have very similar problems. I reported a bug for this. But I got very confused because of several other problems using my headset. If you're interested and can confirm several problems you're invited to contribute: Bug #10815

I fixed the bug for me by buing a new car stereo. It works fine using panucci and calls (the most of the time) - but sometimes my dialog partner is still unable to hear me. It's very annoing because I must hang up the call, turn off my radio and turn it on again to get a new bluetooth connection. I have resigned because I guess I can't do more than reporting my own observations.

This is fixed in the current git HEAD.

mogg is no longer supported, and must be uninstalled. We now use ogg-support which imo is a much nicer package anyway.

I have the same problem of no time count, plus none of the fwd/rev buttons don't work - on ogg files only. I have ogg-support 0.9 and panucci 0.3-7 installed. I tried reinstalling both to no avail.
If I run panucci from the command line, load another ogg file and try to fast fwd/rev I get the following.

Any ideas?

Re: Panucci Podcast and Audiobook Player

I'm running version 0.9 and it doesn't automatically play the next track in the playlist.
