No, at the moment, gPodder is only active when it's started (i.e. its window is visible). This way, it does not drain your battery or take up memory when you do not expect it.

Or even perform an unscheduled check when you change from 3G to WLAN. So for example you get home and the N900 connecets to your WLAN, and gPodder "sees" this, then check for new updates and downloads them.

That's a planned feature, but at the moment, you can only set the downloads to be "queued", and resume them whenever you go on WiFi manually. See also: bug 5181

Not with the built-in media player (see bug 1129). Panucci does exactly that, although it is only available in Extras-Testing at the moment (need more testers to vote on it). In the next release of gPodder (and in the one in Extras-Devel at the moment), you can choose Panucci as an alternative player for audio podcasts.

Thank you for taking the time to reply in such detail.

I'm still too scared about using the testing repo, people keep warning me about it lol!

Not sure this is possible, would think it is, perhaps a widget could be created that links to gPodder. That you could set an update interval on (so as not to waste too much battery) that would do the checking for new podcasts (and start gPodder downloading them if that setting is set) then display some kind of notification that there's new podcasts/downloads.

What do you think?

It's definitely possible, but at the moment I don't have time to implement it, as it has low priority for me personally (leaving gPodder running during the night while on the charger with auto-update and auto-download enabled mostly does the trick for me). Feel free to report this as a feature request, though.

Nice. I use this a lot, and I'll definitely play with the new version also.

Cant install gpodder.
Confligt with apllication packages: Python glade-2(2.12.1-6maemo9).
Would love to get it work as it's probally most used application for me.

Thanks, this is helpful. I've forwarded this to Niels who will probably manually promote python-glade2 (2.12.1-6maemo10) to -Testing. There seems to be a bug in the promotion interface, because earlier today, python-gtk2 (with the exact same version) was not available in Extras-Testing, although it should have been promoted automatically when gPodder was promoted from -Devel to -Testing, as gPodder has a versioned dependency on "python-gtk2 (>= 2.12.1-6maemo10)".

(As a workaround, you could remove python-glade2, but there is probably some other application that depends on it, because otherwise it would not be installed in the first place. An "apt-get remove python-glade2" in X-Terminal as root tells you more.)
