The conversion script used to convert files after download is "documented" in this part of the gPodder sources: http://repo.or.cz/w/gpodder.git?a=blob;f=src/gpodder/download.py#l185 The "conversion script" command is used to convert files for sending over bluetooth and is documented here: http://repo.or.cz/w/gpodder.git?a=blob;f=src/gpodder/gui.py;h=72eee32b488da48a80582b2c9f6a6e5c84f4f71b;hb=HEAD#l801 It should accept two filename parameters, one that is the file to be sent and the second that is the converted file that should be written to. If you don't need to convert a file, you should copy the source file to the destination file in the script. This only works for sending files via bluetooth, however. For conversion after download, you should use "cmd_download_complete" that is documented in the first link above. > My media player does not like .mov, only .avi and I would like to > convert any and all podcasts that come in as .mov to avi.
