![]() ![]() 'Subscriptions', 'Downloads' (in progress) and 'Play history' panes are the heart of the application, with options within each feed to auto-update and download new content (though the default is to handle this manually). ![]() Integration with the popular cloud service handles the import/sync/search issue, though you can also manually import and export in OPML format as well, as a last resort, via the likes of SkyDrive. ![]() Previous versions of Podcatcher had seen the developer wrestling with Windows Phone 8 losing paused playback position on events such as the screen turning off, but it seems that the gremlins have been banished and I didn't lose a single playback position with this, v2.3. New content is highlighted by a red flagged line in each feed, but there's no way to actually sort these or present them in a logical order. There's no overarching, sorted 'what's new' list, but it's still easy to see where to go.įinally, the exact amount of space taken up by Podcatcher feed downloads is shown clearly in 'Settings/usage' and can be wiped at any point. Turning on the auto-update and download options for a podcast feed 'Play History' keeps track of where you've been in the app.įlexible cleanup gPodder is a neat third party way to keep your subs organised. *b/g agent auto-sync only when CHARGING and battery over 90% - see belowĭefinitely the 'poster-girl' of the podcatching group test, Podcast Lounge definitely looks the part, with pixel perfect podcast art presentation, by far the best podcast directory, and intuitive panoramas. It's not great for someone coming from an existing portfolio of podcasts though (e.g. from another device or platform), nor is it that helpful in terms of the future, as you can't get your podcast portfolio out of it either. On a side note, please wait a couple of hours (after this blog post) before doing so, as our main repository server is only synced to some mirrors after 4 hours (after 1 hour for most though).Other than the import/export issue, my biggest issue with Podcast Lounge was that it's too much of a 'nanny'. if you want to go back to 2.x: then run rpm -e gpodder & zypper install gpodder (as root).if you want to keep using 3.x: then run rpm -e gpodder & zypper install gpodder3 (as root).Now, if, in between those changes, you already did the upgrade, do one of the following: If you want to use gpodder 3.0.0, then just install the package gpodder3 instead: zypper or YaST2 will tell you to remove gpodder in order to do so, as you cannot have both installed at the same time (they have file conflicts). What I have done now is to revert the gpodder package at Packman to the 2.xx branch (and upgrade to 2.20 at the same time). Upstream will still maintain the 2.x branch for quite a while, and gradually port features from 2 to 3 and, hence, it actually makes sense to do it differently. So what happens is that when you just upgrade the gpodder package, you end up with something you don't necessarily want to use. It doesn't seem to have all of the features of 2.20 either. Now, gpodder 3.0.0 does introduce a lot of changes, notably in the UI but also regarding its database format and requires migrating the database from 2 to 3. The gpodder project introduced its new major release 3.0.0 today and, unfortunately, it seems like I didn't pay attention to the complete change announcement, as I just bumped the gpodder package in Packman to 3.0.0 (from 2.18). ![]()
