"PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

This showed up in extras or develop recently (i echo others in that i wish app manager told you where somethinng installed from) and is working really well. If the developer is reading: Thanks! :)

@chrisak : Thanks for the heads up. I've been looking (off and on) for something like this for a while now.

Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until after work install it:(


FYI : Penguin TV

Thanks for the link :) I really like that you can tag feeds/podcasts and then filter view.

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

thanks for the interest. I'm still hammering away at the code trying to get the software in shape for 4.0, which I'd like to release at the GNOME Summit next weekend. I'm trying to finish off all of the little bugs that have been around for a while and clear off my todo list. I'm also trying to improve startup time on maemo, which currently isn't great -- unfortunately this speedup work sometimes causes regressions so I have to be careful.

I encourage you to try out the version in extras-devel and let me know if you have any problems. I'm always curious for feedback and comments on the UI.

And, if anyone wants to take a crack at a google reader sync module, I'd be happy to include in a future version. (I don't use google reader so I'm wouldn't be able to test it very effectively.)

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

One thing I am noticing is that the "Back to Feeds" link doesn't seem to work and I end up having to close and reopen the program to read another list.

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

does the escape button work? (The button on the machine with the same icon as the back to feeds image)

edit:
one-character fix. I uploaded another version to extras-devel, it should work now

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

I keep getting a 404, anyone care to post a deb here?

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

You should check your repositories properly but:

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

Yup - escape worked and now the button works. Most excellent!

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

I've updated PenguinTV to version 3.9.4, which switches html rendering from mozilla (which is a memory hog) to gtkhtml (which isn't great but works). PenguinTV should now start up faster and consume a little less memory.

The only real bug is in gtkhtml, and that is that links are hard to click. You have to doubleclick them quite quickly to activate them. Other than that everything should be fine.

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

any news?

it seems that penguintv wants to go online even if ii have it set to not refresh feeds on startup.

also, any chance to have it not download images and similar even tho there is a internet connection available?

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

When I run it I get the little message saying it's loading...then...nothing.

I've re-booted the device. Have no other apps running..and the same thing..nada.

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

Same here.

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

I've experienced the same thing. Is there something that I'm missing?

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

i get the app to load, but then an error about penguintv feeds not found. i am requested to install penguintv and define them there - however penguintv is not available for n900.

is there any documentation explaining what to do?

Re: "PenguinTV" - RSS/Podcast App
 

Apparently penguintv do not have python-gtkhtml2 set as a dependency like should.

apt-get install python-gtkhtml2 as root should do the trick.
