Ok, I should have checked that URL myself first. Try this one (I've tested it with the Diablo browser): http://linuxoutlaws.com/podcast - you should get an RSS icon in the toolbar. If so, what does clicking that icon do?

Transmission's file handling is a bit different from gPodder's feed handling, because with .torrent files, the browser downloads the file and then uses an application to open the locally downloaded file. For gPodder, no download should take place for the feed, but the URL of the feed needs to be passed from the browser to gPodder (otherwise gPodder could never update a feed, because it would not know the URL of the feed).

I don't watch/listen to podcasts so please forgive any ignorance that I may show.

Canola, with its tuning plugin for chinook (http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...tuning-plugin/) took a different approach; they edited uri-defaults.list to run their python program, which gave a list of adding the feed to Canola/the RSS feed reader, instead of the RSS reader when clicking the RSS icon in browser-ui. But it does seem hackish IMO and there should be a better way than that, but I don't know if it exists in all honesty.

But for those podcasts that use those special protocols that you mentioned, this post by conny (albeit being C-oriented) may be of use: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=312336&postcount=8

http://linuxoutlaws.com/podcast offers also a

"Subscribe to feed: Linux Outlaws Podcast feed"

It is connected to the well known Maemo RSS Feed Reader.

After looking at the source code for the canola-tuning-plugin (it's written in Python - nice , it seems like the approach is the same as the manual approach described on the homepage of Nibbles: Edit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list and set application/hildon-news_reader to a specific .desktop file that will be used as the feed handler. If this still works on Fremantle, we could use a similar approach to handle feeds with gPodder.

About being hack-ish and 'in search for a better way': I think the feedhandler in canola-tuning is going in the right direction, but it should be more open - there should be a separate "feedhandler" package on which news readers and podcast aggregators can depend, and when invoking the feed handler, it shows all installed news readers and podcast aggregators and allows the user to choose to which one it passes the feed (and maybe some generic options like "copy feed URL to clipboard).

Of course, this only works if Fremantle's browser still uses the application/hildon-news_reader setting in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list.

I have created a sample feed handler (works on Diablo, don't know if it works on Fremantle) based on the canola2-tuning-plugin. It's just a test right now, but it's a start

A new package "Maemo Feed Handler" (feedhandler 0.1-1) should appear in Maemo Extras-Devel soon (if the build worked, that is ). Can you please install it and try the "Subscribe to feed:" option you described above again (probably after re-starting the web browser) and see if it brings up a feed handler dialog instead of the default RSS news reader?

The package interface predicts that nicely And finds even one more.

Yep, that's what one gets when taking a Diablo source package, modifying it and not fixing the dependencies..

Uploaded feedhandler 0.1-2 to Fremantle Extras-Devel which should have the correct dependencies listed

Note that python2.5-hildon is provided by python-hildon[1], could be a bug in the package system(website) ?

[1] - http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...0.9.0-1maemo10
