Meanwhile, the "import videocenter feed" functionality should be non-controversial.
As a matter of fact, the development version with gestures, etc.. is not in extras-devel, but only available as a .deb here.

Because the .deb here has a lower version number than the package in extras, installing the .deb from here, carrying out the videocenter import and then "upgrading" to the old version via application manager should work.

I'm currently quite busy at University, so sadly no time to prepare a package with just that patch cherry-pick'ed from the repository.

Feel free to jump in: Get scratchbox, "apt-get source gpodder", then grab the patch that is known as commit 35c55b37b0076ae943941284d5d863af86fdf04d in the repository (repo.or.cz/w/gpodder.git), "dch -i", write a log message, "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -S" and send the corresponding source files to me and I'll check it and upload it if it works. You can also use "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b" to build a binary package for you to install on your tablet.

The source is there. Use it! I'll jump back in once I have a bit more time to spare.

What do the old files look like? Where are/were they? Are they normally destroyed as part of the upgrade?
The old files are either in ~/.config/gpodder/ or directly in /media/mmc2/gpodder/. The old files are named "channelsettings.pickle.db" (in the gpodder dir) and "index.xml" (in the podcast-specific downloa dir) and are converted to the single database.sqlite file by gPodder.

Is there a way to rebuild the database using the already downloaded files? Many of the podacsts are no longer available…
If you have the downloaded files in their old location, and your podcast list converted, trying to download one of these files should result in a check if the file already exists, and if it does, it just gets marked as "downloaded" and no downloading is done. I think this still holds true for 0.14.0, too, so please give it a try.

Um, yeah, problem. I had scratchbox more or less installed on my Ubuntu machine and even tried to go through the tutorial, but it spouted a lot of errors at me. It's also an old machine and started wheezing and making other strange noises, so it's retired until I get it fixed.

No rush, just thought it would be easy. Even though, as a fellow programmer I should know better.

Thanks, but I’m still stuck…

The problem is that I have many episodes that I have downloaded, that are in the correct gPodder podcast folder, and are listed in the.xml file in the same folder, but are no longer available as an episode download through the podcast subscription. gPodder misses all of these older podcasts that are no longer available to download - exactly the ones I most want to be able to keep.

Can I manually add these using the .xml and file information? Or, is there some other way to get these back into gPodder?

Thanks for all of your help on this!

One more idea I have how to fix this: Remove (once again) the ~/.config/gpodder/database.sqlite file. Move all _files_ (not folders or folder contents, just the top-level files) from /media/mmc2/gpodder/ to ~/.config/gpodder/. Make sure the download folders (with strange md5 filenames) are direct subdirectories of /media/mmc2/gpodder/. Start gPodder and chose to migrate the database. This should work.

If not, and if you don't mind me seeing what you are subscribed to and what you have downloaded, please tar up your /media/mmc2/gpodder/ folder (with the file names intact, but you can replace "big" mp3 files with zero-length files by doing something like echo -n "">file.mp3 - obviously BACKUP all your files first, because they will get truncated with this command!), make sure the index.xml files for each folder and the *.db files (from the old, file-based structure) and the channels.opml file are all included, and I will see if I can spot the problem locally here.

This latest suggestion made no difference, but I did notice something that maybe helps...

I've noticed that each time I delete the .sqlite file and let gPodder rebuild the database at startup I get different results. I had almost all the episodes back after one restore, but got greedy and now am back to missing most of them...

Thoughts?

Thanks,
TR6C

I'm out of ideas here.. sorry. That's one of the reasons why I keep the "0." version prefix even after four years.. It should get better once you started using gPodder with the SQLite-based database format.

By the way: gPodder 0.14.1 has been released some days ago, and I've updated the Maemo package today. Chinook is already built and promoted to Extras, Diablo is still in the auto-builder queue, waiting to be built for Extras-Devel (and then being promoted).

0.14.1 is just a bugfix release. The real UI improvements (as seen earlier in this thread - with mokoui finger scrolling) are to be released with the next version.

hi all
I have two problems with gPodder:
1. I don't have a finger like scroll on main window as here:

My screen:

2. Also I can't set the default player as panucci. When I change from 'default' to 'panucci' in preferences, it continue to run in default player (
I use the latest version from maemo extras (0.14.1)
btw, sorry for my bad english )
