Whether that external program is gnome-bittorrent or Transmission or Azureus. The downloaded files aren't in gPodder's MP3-player synchronization and they don't just play when you push play. The way I'd rather see it is that gPodder silently downloads the .torrent files when updating the feed. Then when you push Download, it begins to download the MP3 file(s) that the torrent points to. It does this without using an outside GUI program. Using an outside program for the actual downloading isn't bad. gPodder already does this with wget, just extend it to Transmission (command line version) too. MP3 and other files then get put into gPodder's managed database of downloaded files. They can be played, synced, and removed from gPodder. It seems like a slick way of doing to me. Is there anything wrong with wanting to download torrent podcasts in a simple, no-hassle way like this? Maybe it's not easy enough to integrate. Maybe it's not how you want the program to work. I think it'd be nice. You don't have to get rid of the options of just saving the torrent files or using an external GUI program. -Josh PS: I looked at what the various Transmission commands did and it looks like transmission-remote is a better bet than transmissioncli. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.gpodder.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ gPodder-Bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-bugs
