I'm currently working on making gPodder more usable on maemo. Quite some progress has already been made and it would be nice to have some feedback.

Here are some noteworthy changes:
  • Threaded feed updater (multiple channels update at a time)
  • Ability to update individual channels (from the subscriptions menu)
  • Various performance improvements (with DB help from Justin Forest)

You can find all the changes in the my maemo-optimization git repo.
A ticket has been opened on the gPodder bug tracker for these changes.

And finally, here are pre-built deb packages.

Enjoy,

nick

Hey wow!! Thanks a lot for this!! I love the application for what it does.. but it definitely needs performance fixes. There have been occasions where the app was so busy and took over to completely that the tablet thinks it's stuck and reboots. I'm not sure if that's also addressed, but that's sure part of it. (Maybe a renice value needs to be set so that it doesn't take over so completely?)

Thanks again!
