You can force a new database rebuild (given the old files are still there) by removing the "database.sqlite" file in both /home/user/.config/gpodder and in /media/mmc2/gpodder.

After that, start gPodder and it should do the database migration again.

Of course, all changes since the last migration are lost (except for the subscriptions, which should be saved in the .opml file and will have the latest status, because the .opml file is updated even with the new database).

Sorry for having caused some inconveniences, but using the database instead of the old, file-based methods increases performance, code clarity and reliability.

To backup your subscriptions in case of a future error, you can use my.gpodder.org that is integrated into gPodder 0.14.0.
