Hello, Richard! Included are some explanations, hints and things you can try out to get gPodder 0.9.4 running. As you're using a Gentoo ebuild, it might be related to this, bug it might as well be a yet-undetected bug in the current codebase.
Please try renaming/removing your ~/.config/gpodder/ directory and/or try the latest SVN trunk version. If the problem still persists, please also provide debugging output you can get by using "gpodder --verbose".

It works fine for many people, and the functional and bug-fixing improvements are worth an upgrade, for sure :) > Basically, it still knows about my subscribed feeds and still > downloads new episodes using the check for new... download all new... > functions.

I've tried subscribing to all your channels from the OPML you sent, starting out with a "fresh" gPodder directory (rename or remove your ~/.config/gpodder/ folder), and it works for me, have a look: http://spock.thpinfo.com/~thp/images/gpodder-richard-voigt.png > I tried renaming my channels.xml file and readding the channels, it > just tells me I already have the latest episodes and sometimes > displays the list from one channel, but the channel dropdown is still > empty, and after restarting the program the screen is blank again.

Please run gPodder with the "--verbose" command in a terminal window and mail the output of gPodder's verbose mode (debugging output, etc..). > Maybe the feeds I'm subscribed to don't have cover art.

I'm using feeds without cover art myself, and I'm sure many users are subscribed to some feeds without cover art. > If there's any more information I can supply, please let me know. > This is gentoo linux, 64-bit on a core 2 duo, installed using the > ebuild. Please try out the latest SVN release of gPodder. gPodder has a build infrastructure that enables you to run the SVN version of gPodder from a local directory without the need to install it into system directories, and it doesn't interfere with installed gPodder versions (in fact, these are ignored ;). Here's how you can try out the latest SVN version: $ svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/gpodder/trunk gpodder $ cd gpodder $ make test This checks out the latest source code, changes into the source tree, and runs the local version of gPodder with verbosity turned on. > Thanks for the (previously) great software! I hope we can help you get it running for you again, as gPodder 0.9.4 is really one of our shiniest releases today, and it really works well for many users :) Although, if there IS a bug in gPodder which you've just spotted, I'd be very glad if you could help us investigate and get rid of that bug, as it might happen to someone else, too.
