I'd bet a brand new, maemo-specific optimized application would fix that. There are lots of things that would be better done with a 100% new program written for maemo to do podcast aggregation. I know the two other popular ways to get podcasts are with Canola (but I really dislike the way Canola manages podcasts) and bashpodder (which is CLI and sort of a kludge, requiring a little bit of coding knowledge and just plain seems plain unweildy for any ordinary user when things don't go 100% right).Īlthough I rather like gpodder and it serves me well, I can understand why you wouldn't want to use it. I spend quite a bit of time where I am not connected to the web and often find the value in having multiple episodes available to me.Īm I just missing the settings for the 'issues' above and/or is there an alternative out there that sounds like it would be a better fit? Then again, I could associate it with MediaPlayer which sounds much better so not an issue per se :)Ħ) You can't set how many episodes you want to keep.
Someone posted and commented on that the poor sound quality had to do with the program using gstream (sp?). Any way to configure that not to happen?ĥ) More of a integrates with Panucci which has a pretty bad audio quality when playing podcasts on the N810. You have to switch to that app and then.you got a window you can't close.Ĥ) When starting up gPodder it takes a good 10 seconds and then it minimizes itself right away to the left panel. Is there a way for it NOT to do that?ģ) When selecting 'Preferences' from the icon in the status bar nothing shows on the screen if you don't have the gPodder screen up. Simply adding a new podcast by a URL is such a time-sink that I'm simply not doing it again.Ģ) It keeps launching an app up to the status bar. I've tried using gPodder (v 0.16.1-2) for a couple of days now but it is simply not a good user experience for me and would love an alternative.Įxample of current issues (as I'm open to me and not the application being part of the problem):ġ) It is SO slow.
Short of using gPodder what other podcast-download/management tools are there available for the N810?
