On the other hand, if I tell gpodder to launch xmms as the player--no problems so far for the several days I've been doing that. I'm starting to wonder if it's something in the Media Player.. or if maybe it's something gpodder is doing to the id3 tag in the podcast?
gPodder saves the file names internally using the md5 of the episode URL. See http://wiki.gpodder.org/wiki/FAQs for a description of the reasons behind that. Sadly, not all episodes include ID3 tags, so episodes without ID3 tags do not get their filename shown as title. You can set the configuration variable "experimental_file_naming" to "True" to get the desired base names for podcasts, but it does not work for all podcasts (that's why it's experimental..).
