I gather from the sound of crickets chirping that there is still no viable solution for a CentOS 6 compatible pod cast collector that is even close to being up to speed. I've got gpodded 2.19 on my 32 bit machine. I eventually got gpodder 2.15 installed on my 64 bit machine after several hours of arm twisting. Both are hopelessly out of date, but they work for my purposes. Does anyone know if CentOS 7 has an alternative to Rhythmbox in the repos? Does the version of Rhythmbox that comes with CentOS 7 allow one to easily add and/or remove feeds without having to manually edit an obscure configuration file? The one that's packaged with CentOS 6 does not. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I've learned over the years that mixing repos is a good recipe for disaster. If you are generally online to listen, you can use google reader as a subscription aggregator and play them through any browser that handles mp3s.And, if you have an android phone, the 'listen' app automatically tracks the subscriptions and can keep a configurable number of unlistened podcasts downlaoded for offline listening (perfect for long commutes...). The 'reader' phone app works with text newsfeeds. You just have to be careful about going into 'all items' in the web interface to reader and doing a 'mark all as read' because it also clears the listen section. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Anyway, from what I have at hand now I can say VLC and Clementine (KDE based) have support for podcasts; but you need to use 3rd party repos to install them (lime my own : ). I see that Rhythmbox is up to Rev. 2.97 on their home page. The current version in the el repo is 0.12.8. Looks to me like the repo has an old and creaky version. Rhythmbox 0.12.8 functions pretty well for catching podcasts and dropping them on my HD, but it does leave something to be desired. A new feed can be added but deleting a feed can only be done by manually editing the ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml file. I tried the configure/make/install dance with the source for version 2.97 but I got resolvable dependencies. I'm thinking that's the reason why there is no newer version in the repo. Now to the point, VLC is useful for playing mp3 files once they are downloaded, but not so useful for collecting them. Clementine is also strongly music oriented. Great for playing podcasts but not so much for catching them. Anyway, what I'm looking for is a new pod catcher that isn't many years out of date, and is supported in the repos.
