Public bug reported: Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Podcast support is a bit flakey. If it's using wget (assuming?) it's ignoring the wgetrc file. I am trying to download onto an SMB share, but that requires restricting file names via restrict_file_names=windows in /etc/wgetrc. Even with this, rhythmbox gets stuck downloading because there is an invalid character in the temp filename. This shouldn't be reported as "waiting" but rather an error. Which brings me to my next point. Why can I not see the error from within rhythmbox??? I needed to manually run wget in order to figure out why podcasts were failing. This is not at all obvious. Next problem with podcasts: the UI totally ignores the podcast directory and resets it back to the home directory. It also gives no error message when you try to set it to something like an SMB share. And yet this clearly doesn't work... ubuntu 9.10, plain vanilla install. ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- podcasts fail 1. ignores wgetrc, 2. ignores specified podcast directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
