oops,*blush*, i forgot to attach the invalid 'cover' file that i talked about. its here, i've named it 'cover.html', even though gPodder originally downloads it just as 'cover'. i renamed it so it could be viewed easier &so that hopefully it won't get logged by anyone's spam filter.

Title: QUT | Business | Page not found*hugs again Thomas*,i've finally finished my php script, my morning-so a few hours ago. i also tried running --verbose and hmmm... huh? gpodder loaded fine. huh? one lil note, is that while i was writing my php script i'd delete all of the podcasts 'cover' files and all of my 102 podcasts showed up? so i started getting podcast's cover image/album art and when i got to my subscription to an Australian Non-profit podcast (their feed url is http://feeds.feedburner.com/Cpns-qut-nonprofitPodcasts ) i found several other of my podcasts that this would happen with. than when gpodder tries to download any podcast's cover art gpodder would download an html, xml, or other document. i've attached the html document that gpodder ended up downloading; for the Australian non-profit podcast. quiting gpodder, removing that podcasts 'cover' file, &than restarting gpodder fixes the problem.so anyone who's having this problem, here's a work around until there's a perm fix. you'll need to delete all of your podcasts' 'cover' files which aren't images, unless you know which podcast specifically is causing your problem. my php script, which i'll post in the next couple of days(under its own thread of course), automatically checks all the 'cover' files and deletes the ones that aren't valid images-i'm gonna use the gd or ImageMagick php extensions to check each file. most likely i'll use the gd library since its the one i'm most familiar with &it has the lowest overhead. lol, and just to mention it, my php progie/script still relies on gPodder &php's cli/cgi.back on topic; my script has a command line option that just hast it fix each podcast's 'cover' art/image. and than gpodder can be restarted and things will work fine. just make sure not to try and download those podcasts cover art again. which happens automatically when you select 'Podcast' -> 'Edit ...(podcast's name)'. everyone can be doubly safe by running gpodder from a terminal window and watching their terminal for the error message(which i've listed at the end of my message.than Thomas, thnx again for helping me with this issue. i'm sorry that we've spent so much time chasing it around blindly, only to find that the issue was something else entirely. though i'm glad that we're close to fixing it. and though i love gPodder and _will_ abs help work on it in the future(if you want it that is) all my work with gPodder *wink* has only confirm my dislike of python. i may just have ti write my own podcatcher in php-gtk2(joking, mostly), i'd actually love to help with gPodder - like in my free time i'm writing a play list manager for it. hopefully i'll be able to contribute that soon. lately though- ^_^' *blush* -i've literally been spending almost all of my time writing my php progie, which i'm super happy with, and now combined with gpodder i'm actually super happy with linux podcathing. i actually don't even miss miro(yeah *ick* i know) but until now it was the best option i had.now i just _must_ get audacity running again, i'll switch distros if i have to. because audacity is something i truly can't move on without. that and x.org 7.3 is abs necessary, i need its vesa/video card display modes fix. okay, lol, i'm done with my off topic babbling. so to close, here's the error that gPodder generates when it downloads an invalid cover art. i'm sure all that needs to be done is that this exception needs caught and to than delete the 'cover' file. anyway, i hope my babbling make sense &help. thnx again Thomas &i hope that i get to help with gpodder. *hugs*Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 460, in __bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 440, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)File "usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gpodder/libgpodder.py", line 502, in image_download_threadGError: Unrecognized image file format Thomas Perl wrote:Hello, Katy!

Also, I think that gPodder could be made faster by optimizing feed loading/localdb access. I think having so many subscriptions is unusual, but I gladly accept performance-increasing patches (make localdb access on-demand and not on startup, etc..).it doesn't happen on any specific one of my podcasts, just number 55.Which RSS URL does your podcast number 55 have? Or do you mean that any podcast which happens to be on position 55 produces the problem?i've mixed and matched which podcasts it has in channels.xml. no matter what i comment out or don't it gets to 56 and than it won't display the podcasts.Can you please provide the output of running "gpodder --verbose" and trying to reproduce your problem?as a note gpodder work for --list, --add, --delete, --run, and everything even with all of my podcasts subscribedDoes this mean you can get more than 55 feeds on the CLI but not in the GUI? Seems strange to me, although I know that the CLI is more straightforward than the GUI (it simply reads in some data and processes the command line switches, no sophisticated caching/downloading/parsing necessary).so i'm using gpodder from the terminal &i'm writing a php shell script (please no flames) that creates readable symlinks to my podcasts so i can navigate things easier &i can post that for anyone who wants it, once i feel better &i'm done with it.Yeah, send it in, maybe it's useful for somebody. Or we might convert it to Python and include it in gPodder's standard distribution as an additional way of providing a browseable download directory.i am using the most up date version of gnome, and hi color &icon theme, its all part of my distro's latest packages(i'm using opensuse 10.3). i'm actually using a custom svg icon theme( the Lila theme from http://art.gnome.org/ ), but even with just using the default icon theme, or high color, gPodder has the same issues.Please try out the latest SVN version, instructions on how to check out the svn trunk head can be found on the gPodder website or on the mailing list. You can run the SVN version without installing gPodder by using "make test".i hope you have some luck with this, i'm lost... right now i think i'm gonna go back to sleep now ;-). if you need anything let me know and i'll get back as soon as i'm able. thank you again for your work onthis project *you rock*.It would be very helpful if you could provide the console output of both the installed version of gPodder and the SVN version so we can investigate what could have went wrong. With the installed version, you have to pass "--verbose" as command line argument, for the development version, "make test" will automatically enable verbose output.
