Thomas Perl <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX --- Comment #1 from Thomas Perl <[email protected]> 2011-03-27 16:59:43 BST --- The GUID is a required field. If it is not there, gPodder can't reliably determine if an episode is new or not (i.e. there are feeds where the episode download URL changes, but the GUID stays the same - in this case, gPodder would detect multiple new episodes when in reality, it doesn't). Tell the feed author to fix their feeds. A workaround would be to use the link as GUID, but that's just that - a workaround. The web page URL could theoretically also change for the same episode, so you would have the same problem - storing the episode multiple times when in reality it's the same. Feeds that have a permalink could just use that as a GUID. Closing as WONTFIX. This is really a problem of the feed. You could use Yahoo! Pipes to fix the feed, but ideally, you would contact the feed author and tell them to add proper GUIDs to their feed.
