I did some looking in to it and found these resources. This is probably the easiest solution but I did not try it: iPodder is a Python utility available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/index.php The other solution is a Bourne shell script that uses wget and Mplayer from here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2005-June/024382.html it uses this: #!/bin/sh #Put your favourite podcast links into pod.conf rm -f playlist.pod while read podcast do file=$(wget -q $podcast -O - | tr '\r' '\n' | tr \' \" | sed -n 's/.*url="\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p') for url in $file do echo $url >> playlist.pod done done < pod.conf mplayer -playlist playlist.pod I tried to get it to work but I can't figure out what to feed it. I also don't understand the use of charcater transpose (tr). I wonder why they use that? Anyway it is interesting to fiddle with. _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
