I think you are right. Externally managed podcast feeds do need to
appear in the podcast plugin along with ones that rhythmbox
manages. I'm not sure the base way to manage that. At the moment
my thought is that we re-use the watch for new files mechanism
that the main library uses and apply that to the podcast library
as well. Externally managed podcasts would get placed in there by
whatever app is downloading them and rhythmbox would pick them up
and add them to its podcast library.
Yep, this is exactly what I would have suggested doing, so it makes
sense to me at least :)
Cool. Looks like that's the way to go then.
In the end, we'll probably want a Synchronization Settings window to
choose which playlists, podcasts, ... to synchronize, but for this
particular project, a Synchronize Podcasts menu item is plenty enough,
we can improve things later.
That's pretty much where I can see the synchronise thing going too.
Given the number of years its been since I coded anything significant I
think the podcast sync will indeed be plenty enough.
Maybe it's better to hold a little bit on that one, there's a media
player library synchronization google summer of code project for
rhythmbox, and some students applied to it and said they'd implement
this as part of their gsoc. So to avoid duplicate work, it's probably
better to wait for the list of projects that have been approved as
socs for this year.
OK. No problem. I'm happy to let the summer of code folks handle that.
Having a generic autofill that worked for all devices would be better
than an ipod specific one.
I'll raise two bugzilla records to cover the external podcasts and the
podcast sync and start looking at code.
While I'm thinking about it - is there any particular development tool
that's recommended for rhythmbox development? I was planning to keep it
simple with gedit and the command line but if there's something everyone
uses I'll use it as well for the sake of consistency.
Cheers
Dave
