Okay. I have to go to bed now, but as far as I able to test there is still a small bug. Perhaps only at the qt code. I must test this more... but to track my observation:
You're playing a podcast, you stop the playback and close panucci and open the same file using gpodder the playback doesn't start automatically.
If you open a different file the playback starts... hmm...

If you can't reproduce this behavior I will digg more into it tomorrow. (I hope so, no time this weekend as far as I'm able to see from here)


Edit:
Have a look here, because of this I thought a bigger screen height would be a good idea.


It doesn't make for me a big difference if dialog or normal window. Mmmh... expect there is no menu possible. I hope I have tomorrow some time to edit this file on my device and play a little bit with it. Will report how it works...
