Hello!

Your app is wonderfull but since last updates i have big problems..

-Many of my url feeds dont collect new episodes... its like if url feed collecting is broken for some sources... So many podcasts are just "frozen"...

-The export "save to opml" doesnt work any more...

yusssufff's picture

Hi!

Since last update, i think playlist does not jump from track to track, but stops after playing one only track....

Termitebug's picture

App is broken. Refresh doesn't work.

cy8aer's picture

Does it hang at a special feed?
Would it be possible to open an Issue: https://gitlab.com/cy8aer/podqast/-/issues

Termitebug's picture

It hanged at the last feed. This is very similar of gitlab #55 issue. I tested with clean install, import from Gpodder (18 feeds) and it still stays refreshing the last feed.

Termitebug's picture

Datamigration failed with latest 2.20 upgrade and it broke everything. I had to delete app's .config/.cache/.local folders and start over :/ ...

We are working on it. Please wait for 2.21.

yusssufff's picture

Just a small thing: when problem with one url channel, PodQast sends a notification that: 'Error opening url: not found // or bad request ''.
Thats cool BUT, it doesnt say which podcast's subscription is faulty! So when you have many podcasts in librairy, very hard to figure out which url to refresh....

Hello!
Still being on 3.4, there seems to be an issue when moving up and down a track in the playlist, after the latest update...

yusssufff's picture

Hello!
Great new version!
One little issue i have: Whenever i change the 'refresh' time, the new setting is never saved when reopening the app...
Is that only my issue? Or a bug?

cy8aer's picture

Looks like an issue... Opened https://gitlab.com/cy8aer/podqast/-/issues/32

Hello, please consider applying for translation hosting at https://hosted.weblate.org/, this will make it easier for people to translate your application.

cy8aer's picture

Yeah I am thinking about a translation service.

Thank you!

Hum, I'm very new to PodQast (I used to use gPodder).
I'm in SFOS 4 EA.
I'm facing 2 issue:
- I can't search any podcast in Discover view, nothing appends,
- I impored some podcast from gpodder, but when I select one of them, gPodQast only offers me to listen it in web browser.

Is it normal?

yusssufff's picture

Nothing happens for me also (on sos 3.4) when i search in discover with gpodder search (zero results), but it works with fydd.de (also present in discover) for me.

cy8aer's picture

- Did you try to search with the fydd.de engine?
- yes it is possible that youtube based streams cannot be played via PodQast. There are special mechanisms to let it be rendered with gpodder which are not implemented in PodQast by now.

 

vbelloir's picture

Well,

for the first point, yes, it works with fydd.de engine, but I can found less podcast than with gpodder. I also noticed that gpodder website is really really slow, I think that the reason why it is not working on PodQast.

For the second, it's my fault, I didn't not understand that I had to keep my finger on the selected podcast, in order to see the pulldown menu. I was cliking on the > button, on the right of the podcast.

 

yusssufff's picture

the latest version i just updated on jolla store is not working anymore on sailfish 3 (blank page...)

cy8aer's picture

Stay tuned. There is some rendering problem. I will check this out and push out another version.

cy8aer's picture

Sorry about this error. Try 2.8-0ff

yusssufff's picture

thank you for quick fix! could you maybe publish the jolla store (non ff) rpm here too?

cy8aer's picture

It is already published but Jolla deploys packages on harbour only on weekdays (around 08:00 CET). I was a bit too late :-(

So we need to wait.

But the CI at gitlab will render the new images as well:

https://gitlab.com/cy8aer/podqast/-/pipelines

Just wait until the CI is running the jobs.

yusssufff's picture

Oh great! It can wait monday :).

thanks a lot for fast reaction! Your app rocks.

1st, thanks for the work

2nd, I am coming from Pocket Casts app, and would like to see couple features:

  * auto-resorting of podcast library based on the most recent episode release date.

  * auto-deleteing (preventing accumulating downloaded episodes more than N (3,5,10,etc)

linuxsquad's picture

BTW, do you have a donation page/account?

Hi, PodQast is the greatest podcast app on SFOS.

But :

  • Is it possible to download the episodes to SD card?
  • synchronize the application with Gpodder.net?
cy8aer's picture

Synching with gpodder is and will not be possible.

There is an option "save favorites" in settings. If set the posts are saved in your Music folder in podqast/favorites. From there it is possible to store the file to the sdcard. But there are symbolic links. Some file managers only copy the symlink, you must try it out which really does a copy (some do, some not, sorry)

stephan's picture

cy8aer, running out of disc space here...

I checked the home/defaultuser/Music folder, there is no podqast/favorites. It's empty. Yet I have enabled save Favorites and marked several podcast episodes as favorite.

The flow of this program suits my podcast needs the best, thanks for this feature richt and well laid out software!

However using a 32GB Sony XA2, the eternal struggle is disc space. Luckily it accepts large SD cards.

I wish I could just choose "Sailfish system level wide" the location for "static" working data storage like movies, pictures cache..  for all apps once and for all.
