Hi!

Since sailjail's implementation, without using openrepos it isnt possible to delete the cache (mashka or file manager do not have acces to those files).

So the non openrepos user can end up with uncontrolable amount of files lost in cache space...

What about the idea to put the downloaded tracks somewhere else than in cache? Thats how it is done with the app Podcatcher and its easier to manage and delete downloaded files...

Another idea would be 'clear cache' option within the app ...

yusssufff's picture

Hi! So i deleted the .local .cache and .config files you mentionned.

And then reimported 86 ppdcasts with OPML.

But now i have a big problem: when i close the app, all the podcasts are...gone!

cy8aer's picture

That is not your problem: this is a bug with the sandboxing. Try the just new uploaded version 2.71-0

yusssufff's picture

Thank you for the answer. 

Since Sailjail, those ./config files are not appearing anymore in file browser...  Could you tell me the exact terminal commands to delete those files maybe? 

Greetings and thanks

Hi!I am trying to get all my now 'ghost' downloaded podcasts erased. Since 4.4 and sailjail Mashka also deosnt help. Will erasing the PodQast app erase those ghost playlist?

cy8aer's picture

No, erasing the app and re-installing does not have any effect (not like e.g. for an android app). You need to erase all ~/.config/harbour-podqast, ~/.cache/harbour-podqast and ~/.local/share/harbour-podqast directories (eventually save the opml before to restore your podcast list)

yusssufff's picture

Hi!

I noticed one thing: if you delete a podcast from the librairy, but you had podcasts downloaded from this source this happens:

The already downloaded podcasts get removed from the playlist (thats fine i guess).

The downloaded (and now erased from playlist) podcasts stay in the memory :/...

So i wanted to erase all downloaded podcasts from one source to save space on my device. Instead of erasing them one by one i deleted the podcast source. but now its quite bad: they are 'ghost' downloaded files, forever filling the memory:(.

cy8aer's picture

Yes, that looks like a bug. By design the post itself should be listed but the downloaded audio file should be removed except it is a favorite (marked with a star)

I will file this as an issue.

yusssufff's picture

Cool.

Any idea how to do to erase those tracks now filling phone memory but that disapeared from the playlist? I tried adding again the pocast source, but it doesnt show those tracks as downloaded any more...

rob_k's picture

This looks like a great app! I like the concept of the playlist. But... On X10ii, 4.4.0.72, all the podcasts I subscribed to, have disappeared after closing the app. Sailjail problems?

yusssufff's picture

Hi!

On my main phone Xperia 10 II, after latest update from jolla store, only white screen is showing when i open the app :(

Right now sadly the app is therefore unusable...

Any idea what went wrong?

cy8aer's picture

try to install amber-qml-plugin-mpris

yusssufff's picture

Oh okay... And how do i do this?

cy8aer's picture

devel-su pkcon-install amber-qml-plugin-mpris

yusssufff's picture

okay! Thanks!

yusssufff's picture

Hi!

And thanks for great enjoyable app!

Since last update 2.60, the refresh of podcats on mobile data takes forever on my phone (xa2)... With wifi all good.

I use harbour version (jolla store)

cy8aer's picture

In settings you can find a parameter: load on mobile. If it is set and it still does not work then please write another comment (then it looks like a bug)

yusssufff's picture

Yes sure 'load on mobile' is 'on', and was on before update as well...

TrulloF's picture

I installed missing libraries (amber-qml-plugin-mpris) and now it works. Thanks for this great app. Best podcatcher for me period.

TrulloF's picture

4.4.0.72. I installed it on my 10II too (fresh install) and there it worked. Strange.

cy8aer's picture

Ok, I could understand if it was < 4.x because of the tab and mpris libraries. And it is device independent because of complete python code. Please let us wait for the harbour version. Probably I get some dependency advice from the harbour team.

TrulloF's picture

Had the previous version, which worked flawless for me.

cy8aer's picture

What SFOS version you are running?

TrulloF's picture

Got following output from terminal:
[defaultuser@XperiaXZ2Compact ~]$ sailfish-qml harbour-podqast
[D] unknown:0 - Using Wayland-EGL
library "libGLESv2_adreno.so" not found

Seems something is missing?

TrulloF's picture

I got a white screen when starting the app after last update. SFOS 4.4.0.72, Xperia XZ2 Compact.

cy8aer's picture

Do you know from which version you updated?

cy8aer's picture

any failing output when calling

sailfish-qml harbour-podqast

?

yusssufff's picture

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.
