Podcatcher gets better and better, thank you for this. I thought of something on the podcast page. Not easy, with already 5 menu items... Sometimes I want to search the contents of the podcast episodes, both title and description. Use case: long running podcasts like radio shows, where you want to find the one episode with [ search term ].

Could it be possible to fast track stable updates like this one (not too experimental) to jolla store's version?
That would be great. I know many people who use your app from jolla store and wo would love to benefit small or big improvements, as far as they are stable...

Hi! Thanks for the nice app! I just am faced with the fact that its very jolty to scroll down a long list of podcasts (on xa2, 32bits)... Feels very unsmooth... is there any plan to improve smoothness? Also export as OPML would be great. Greetings and thanks.

I cannot download to SD card. I get the error message SD card not available. Although I have access to the sd card via file browser.

Under which path is your SD card mounted? Currently the card is searched at /run/media/username and /media/sdcard.

And is it possible to add another source of podcasts? Dutch public broadcasting: https://podcast.npo.nl/

The built-in player is awesome! Promising update. Will you create an aarch64 version too? (Please?)

Thanks, love this app! The version for X10ii cannot find the Jolla Mediaplayer though, claims it was not installed!?

That is due to SailJail. Just select the option system default player, which should usually be the jolla-mediaplayer. Or use the inbuilt one.

Hi! Please add a aarch64 package for us Xperia 10 II hipsters.
(It compiles and works without modification)

thank you for this app!
do you think in relatively close future an updated version can find its way to the jolla store?

In order to get the app into the official store a have to kill some features of the palyer, which use functions that are not allowed there e.g. the control buttons on the lock screen.

Since in the meantime I updated to SFOS 3.3, I now managed to try 1.9.4 (crashing a lot, when refreshing all subscriptions and when downloading longer episodes). Today, I also tried 1.9.5-1 with the debug stuff. Not a single crash when downloading episodes.
However, it still crashes when refreshing all subscriptions. That seems to be because my phone is running out of memory. Just before it crashes, "harbour-podcatcher" process is using 999520 MB RAM (the RES column in top), and more than 1.3 GB VIRT, or 36.5% of RAM. The last lines it outputs to the terminal contain something about dconf_shm_open and "Cannot allocate memory".
Even when using it "normally", it is usually the most memory hungry process on my phone.

Have eyou tried the newest version (1.9.6) with the new parser. Does it still crash?

1.9.6 still crashes when refreshing all subscriptions. Probably due to missing memory. Shortly before it crashes I see that it uses 30% of all RAM (watching in top in the Terminal).
Downloading or refreshing individual subscriptions does not crash any more for me. Unless the app was open for a long time and I open another podcast listing which apparently then requests a lot of RAM again. Then it might crash on me.

Thanks for the new features in the betas, they are nice and seem to work well. The internal play could use a bigger font for the timing info, but that is a minor issue.
However, I tried 1.9.2 for two days but it was awfully unstable. In addition to crashing shortly after starting to refresh the episodes of all subscriptions it also crashes just before finishing the download of an episode. So I went back to the version from the Jolla store (1.1.25) which only has the first problem, and which I can work around. Is the download-episode crash just my problem?

I could not locate the source of the crashes. But the fresh build with some other changes seems to be stable, at least for me.
