I've just been wasting a bit of time and generally making a fool of myself attempting to add a podcast to my Squeezecenter. The podcasts in question are "Stephen Fry's Podgrams". I did a Google search, and arrived at http://www.stephenfry.com/podcasts/rss.xml which looked like just what I needed. I added this as a new podcast, and the SB web interface showed the correct title - looking good so far. I navigated to it on my SB, and it brought up all the episodes. I chose the first one and was subjected to a very unpleasent electronic noise that could probably do some damage to the more sensitive of tweeters. I quickly stopped it before any harm could be done and then tried to work out what on earth the problem was.
I'm afraid it took some time and tinkering before I realised that the page I had found was actually an "Audio & visual podcast". A different page was available for purely audio podcasts. Once I entered this, all was fine. Now I'm sure people more familiar with podcasting will be saying that it should be obvious what I'd found wasn't suitable, but I still can't help feeling that it would be very handy if the Squeezecenter software could do some basic checks on the podcast files themselves before attempting to play them regardless of suitability. It would be best if this could be done at the point the podcast URL itself is added. Does anyone else think that would be a reasonable check? Is it relatively easy technically? If so, I'm happy to log it as a bug/enhancement request. -- SadGamerGeek ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SadGamerGeek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6145 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51201 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
