Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Podcasts - how and why not?
Well, here is one other happy user (+family) very grateful for this fix. We have been trying to get to the Radio4 Desert Island Discs Archive - the otherwise wonderful iPlayer plugin is not applicable here. Tried using my Mediafly account but could not find it there. Then tried the BBC OPML feed just this morning to come up against this bug.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Podcasts - how and why not?
You can certainly play podcasts directly from the Touch. You need the Podcasts app for that. Go to www.mysqueezebox.com, log in, and add the app, under All Apps - Podcast services. You can add/modify/remove the podcast feeds through that web site. However, you can add the app itself to the main menu of the Touch, and from there you can select the podcast episode you want to play. -- 505 505's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Podcasts - how and why not?
There is a bug in the Squeezeplay playing some Podcast (at least the BBC ones). It seems the touchtoPlay part is not working. When you drill down through the menus levels down to an actual podcast - the UI on the Touch (and I think other Squeezeplay) will not actually play the podcast - just displays the URL. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

AFAICT This specific bug has not been reported. If it is important to you should should report it - logging a bug is a simple as creating a forum post.

Yes - this is a OPML feed which aggregates all the BBC RSS podcast feeds. The link is still updated but like many of the BBC RSS feeds - they no longer advertise it. IIRC it used to be on the podcast page accessible from this page http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ - the podcasts link should be bottom right but web page is no longer active. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Podcasts - how and why not?
Americana is RSS format not OPML format. The issue is not the correctness of the OPML format as handling of OPML list of RSS for Squeezeplay by SBS is broken but handling of OPML of RSS for Web and older players (e.g. SB3) is OK. The major change in 7.6 was onebrowser which was the unification of processing of UI and it looks like this use case was broken. The other test case of the same format is the NPR's aggregate of podcasts ( http://www.npr.org/podcasts.opml ) - unfortunately there is currently an error in the NPR content. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Podcasts - how and why not?
It is a bug in 7.6 because a user can access and play podcasts from Web and older player (e.g.SB3, Boom) interface (although there is a small bug with display of a blank line on the older player) but cannot play a podcast from a Squeezplay interface. In 7.5 (and 7.4) the bug was different - a user could play just a single podcast - the first in the list. Looking up OPML and RSS will not do any good as the problem is in the SBS code not the format of the podcast. AFAICT This is a very minor bug in terms of affecting users because 1. I think there are only two sources of aggregate podcast lists. One is broken and the other is not advertised - it is clear there are very very few users use them. 2. There are alternatives to the podcast list readily available such as BBC Listen Again. Avid podcast users have a podcast manager which download into a directory and then let SBS play from the directory. I think it is interesting to note the issue but there are bugs which affect far more users that should be fixed first. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89237 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Could some kind person expllain how podcasts are supposed to work on the Touch? As far as I see the only way to get them to play is to go to the web ui and select them there - the Touch then springs into life. Is there no way o select and play from the Touch itself? Is this a design feature? a bug? or what? Whatever it is, it's darned annoying!
