Then inside that folder is several folders and a torrents folder. I just need to sync the contents of the gpodder-downloads to my /gpodder folder on my tablet? Or do I put it inside the downloads folder inside the gpodder directory?

Using mmc2 seems like a big no-no to me. I actually have gpodder's config files on mmc2 and keep all my podcasts on mmc1 (where I have MUCH more space and can remove the card more easily).
Shouldn't gpodder be using a ~/.gpodder for its configuration (just like on the desktop)? That way it can have all the database and podcasts identified as existing on EITHER card without requiring mmc2 to be touched at all with the added benefit of getting included in backups when you use the n8x0's backup tools?

Hmm it didn't seem to work (I copied and pasted the contents over). But starting up Gpodder still thinks there's no podcasts added to the list. I added one from the example list provided (rocketboom) but it still doesn't see the other podcasts.

Okay first things first...
THANK YOU!!!!!
I love it. But I think I broke it... the MP3 files that I download play just fine but the names are all garbled, the podcast I subscribe to is a radio show where they break down the 5 hr show into 15 tracks... so its kind of important that I know which one is which, but the track info, and mp3 file name when downloaded through gPodder is all nonsense. When I download the same podcast manually, or throught iTunes the mp3 names are fine.
Did I tweak a setting or something and f it up?
Thanks again.

On the other hand, if I tell gpodder to launch xmms as the player--no problems so far for the several days I've been doing that. I'm starting to wonder if it's something in the Media Player.. or if maybe it's something gpodder is doing to the id3 tag in the podcast?

Do the backup tools backup dotfiles in the user's home folder?

You can set the configuration variable "experimental_file_naming" to "True" to get the desired base names for podcasts, but it does not work for all podcasts (that's why it's experimental..).

The podcast description field (just like the episode description field) is read-only. You cannot edit it. That's a feature, not a bug. You can edit the podcast title if you wish to do so.
The description of the error appears in the tooltip in the Desktop version, of course it doesn't happen on ITs. Red color means some error with the feed (for example, the server sent the wrong character encoding, etc..). Other errors like 404 are also shown by having a "red" podcast in the list.
It also completely shuffled the order of my podcasts, too. I'm not even sure why that is relevant. (On that note... any way for me to do any kind of sorting in maemo?)
Is there some way to fix this?

Do the backup tools backup dotfiles in the user's home folder?
/media/mmc1 is the removable card
And yep--it appears that the backup tool does back up . rcs folders, alright.
Ok so I got around to looking at it. And it seems the gpodder folder on my mmc1 has the folder downloads, torrents, database.sqlite, gpodder.conf.
While my Linux directory with the podcasts is currently...
/home/user/gpodder-downloads
Then inside that folder is several folders and a torrents folder. I just need to sync the contents of the gpodder-downloads to my /gpodder folder on my tablet? Or do I put it inside the downloads folder inside the gpodder directory?
