Operajulian wrote: > The BBC podcasts can take a while to load each list of options and some > of them don't actually load the specific podcast. Yes. The problem is that the BBC updates the opml listing dynamically, with newest broadcast listed first. Unfortunately LMS cannot handle this situation as it expects the listing to remain static while you're browsing the menu. I recall this being pointed out, somewhat late in the day some years ago, when LMS' menu handling was being substantially re-engineered. It was considered too late to warrant trying to make a late change for what was considered a "rare" circumstance. That is my recollection, anyway. mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113268 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] A really dumb first-time podcast user question
Thanks for this thread. Very useful to get podcasts listed on my Rasp Pi/Picore/LMS set up. Listening to 99% Invisible podcasts for the first time - very interesting. The BBC podcasts can take a while to load each list of options and some of them don't actually load the specific podcast. I think for the BBC, I will mostly just subscribe to a programme via BBC Sounds. Anyhow - another step forwards for my listening pleasure :-) Take care everyone, Julian Operajulian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113268 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

My view is as follows : The BBC Sounds Plugin only offer other programmes if you asked to be offered them (ie go to "My Recommendations" in the Plugin or go in to the featured podcasts). You don't have to look in there if you don't want to! Signing in gives you lots of benefits including subscription and bookmarks and continues listening across the different access methods (website and app). The BBC have strong governance processes and are very open about why they want you to sign in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/usingthebbc/why-we-are-asking-you-to-sign-in We are being tracked all the time. if you have a mobile smart phone, the tracking that is going on makes signing in to the BBC seem incredibly trivial.

Can someone give me a clue? If you are interested in podcasts other than from the BBC, search for podcasts in your browser. Add a subject of interest, thus: "podcasts classical music RSS feed", "podcasts tropical plants RSS feed", etc. You are looking for the RSS feed to paste into LMS Podcasts tab in Server Settings. Or you can visit a website of a podcast you may have read about in a newspaper or in newsletter (The Guardian has a weekly podcasts email). For example, a popular podcast in the U.S. is 99% Invisible (99percentinvisible.org). From the home page, look for a clue on how to subscribe to the podcast. I found it by clicking the Subscribe drop-down menu. One of the menu items is "Podcast RSS." I copied the URL (http://feeds.99percentinvisible.org/99percentinvisible) and pasted that into the "Add a New Feed" box on the podcast plugin in Settings and clicked the Apply button on the lower-right of the screen to save it. Return to the LMS Home page and under My Apps click on Podcasts and you will see "99% Invisible" listed. Click on that to see a list of podcasts, sorted by latest (Nov. 17, 2020, "In The Unlikely Event"). Hope this is helpful.

No. BBCiPlayer has programs that only last 7 days. BBCiPlayerExtra accesses *all* the programs BBC has on their website. Some programs are only kept for 30 days, some for much longer - There are Desert Island disks from decades ago and many series of some programs (e.g. Old Harry's Game) and a few weeks worht of Book of the Week and Book at Bedtime. Many podcasts are "programs" that were not broadcast (although some are broadscasts) - they may be long in duration which is why a podcast player which can remember position is useful bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113268 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

My understanding was that the files iplayerExtra plays disappear quite quickly (after 3 or 4 weeks at mots) whereas podcasts don't. Is that not true?

Can someone give me a clue? Podcasts are just like "Listen Again" programs. If you BBC specific stuff you can find them either with BBC iPlayerExtra plugin or the BBC Sounds plugin (you need to register with BBC Sounds web site). BBC Sounds will probably be better as it can remember where you stopped. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113268 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] A really dumb first-time podcast user question
I have never, ever, played a podcast from anywhere. I can see that I can download stuff from the BBC website, but what I thought I should be able to do was see a list of stuff in LMS and select and play from there. I have the podcast plugin and settings page, but no idea what to put in it for a set of BBC programmes. I've searched, but everything I've found so far assumes basic knowledge that I simply don't have. Can someone give me a clue?
