The backend code to write these fake entries into the dabase This would be a useful feature, but it is not quite what I had in mind. Example: Recently I discovered AstronomyCast. I would like to listen to old episodes of it, but the feed only shows the last 5 out of 176. To get old episodes, I have to switch away from gPodder, go to the www.astronomycast.org, and browse for the episodes I want. This is a chore, especially because no two web sites have the same interface, and I have to click to download each episode one at a time. It would be awesome if there was a way to have all the archived episodes available for browsing and download in gPodder. The problem is there is no actual feed for the archived episodes, but gPodder could fake one with some code to scrape it off the page (or using web services or semantic web data, if the site was friendlier.) This is why I called it a "virtual feed" in my original feature request, though there's probably a clearer way to say it. If you could manually add episodes to gPodder, you could certainly download the episodes one by one and add them to gPodder so that gPodder could manage them, but you still have to leave gPodder and dig around some web site to get the episodes. For archived episodes, you pretty much lose all the automation of gPodder. -- Configure bugmail: https://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
