Hi,
I tried (and hate now) gpodder!
gpodder is slow, inflexible and stupid
- why? I'll write a few examples:
Slow: takes forever to start, update etc. - uses CPU resources like crazy.
Inflexible: You can't select download locations or rename streams.
Stupid: The latter (renaming streams) would be a very important feature for gpodder, as it names the streams (somehow) after the website it gets them from. If I try to add several different podcasts from
www.tagesschau.de
, they all get the same name and gpodder only downloads files from the stream first added - although it displays different URLs in the settings...
Stupid: gpodder has no way display the text infos sent with the podcasts (overview, info texts).
Up to now I didn't know
videocenter
was such a
cool application!
I installed it and it just works, also has a nice design, navigation is great and is able to add several podcasts from the same website (it even names the podcasts correctly - so this is a feature and gpodder obviously can't interpret this feature correctly) and you can read some info on the podcast before you download.
I'm so glad I found out videocenter also supports podcasts - thought it was only for playing videos from media servers at home...
Cheers
