Hello - I love gpodder but for me to make this a killer app it needs to auto-download the latest episodes of some/all podcasts.

So - having read this thread I'm still not sure whether auto-download works with gpodder or not - (it doesn't seem to but maybe that's just my installation) please can this be clarified? There are two key "use cases" for me

1. I'm at home and just want __latest__ episodes to be there ready and waiting when I get up in the morning. The emphasis on "latest" is because some good video podcasts feeds (e.g. Sky News headlines & top story) are updated numerous times a day, with the latest news bulliten superseded all before it, so all you'd ever be interested in is grabbing the latest. Perhaps there could be a per-podcast setting that specifies whether you want to just grab the latest or not.

2. I'm out and about, I go online with wifi, and ideally would like gpodder to grab the latest episodes upon connection.

For subscriptions that do update multiple times daily, the current UI is a bit of work as you have to Select None, then scroll through the numerous offered episodes picking the latest.

Since the automatic download features appear currently not to work, I have looked into trying to use cron to launch gpodder to do the necessary. However... running gpodder -run off the command line says that there are no new episodes to download, whereas running Update from the GUI says that there are 57 episodes to download. Also the command line says there are no current subscriptions whereas in the GUI version I am subscribed to 5 or so podcasts. Is the GUI version supposed to work with the same data as the command line version? HELP!

Many thanks for all the hard work!

Paul
