gPodder config
Hello,
I have a big problem with gPodder as sending episodes to my iPod seems to
corrupt database on my iPod. It does not behave in 100% predictable way, but
sending episodes (or synchronizing with device) can result in:
- "No podcasts" message in iPod interface, even though gPooder just sent them.
- Orphaned files (connected with previous point)
- Songs (not just only podcasts!) begin to show up twice in DB.
- Corrupted artworks (mixed up covers in all songs!).
- Strange error messages when opening this iPod later in GTKpod (like "The
following dangling track doesn't have file on PC.
Press OK to remove it, CANCEL to leave it as is." - it complains about some
random, not related with anything song.)
All this led to situation when after using gPodder with this iPod a couple of
times only restoring it from iTunes helped (and this is VERY bad - resulted in
major data loss)...
I use it together with GTKpod 1.0.0 (claims to be using libgpod 0.7.93).
Previously I had this exact version of libgpod installed. Upgraded it to newer
version, but this made no difference:
at...@thinkpad:~$ dpkg-query -l|grep libgpod
ii libgpod-common 0.7.95-1
common files for libgpod
ii libgpod-dev 0.7.95-1
development files for libgpod
ii libgpod4 0.7.95-1
library to read and write songs and artwork to an iPod
ii python-gpod 0.7.95-1
Python bindings for libgpod
When sending episode to iPod this showed up in console (when 'gpodder -v'):

I enclose my gPodder config file. I'd be more than happy to help you track down
this bug because apart from that gPodder is a great tool and I would like to
keep using it.
