[Bug 236326] Re: Podcasts: interrupted downloads cannot be completed, deleted downloads canot be reloaded
I have problems mostly when my internet connection is interrupted. My apartment is set up so that I must log in through a web browser, so when I am logged out, I am sent a login.php from the server. Browsing podcast directories revealed that one or two download files have been interrupted and renamed/replaced. Right now I am considering giving Banshee or Exaille a trial to see if the problem is similar with them - to be honest, I'd be much happier to use something lightweight like gpodder if it had a function to resume - I only want to use Rhythmbox/ the player/ to present me with options to play the files rather than have to autostart it to get the downloads going. gpodder is far behind in some respects - at least Rhythmbox uses a logical English archiving system to save the files. The worst aspect is that damaged downloads are lost and cannot be recovered through the podcatcher. -- Podcasts: interrupted downloads cannot be completed, deleted downloads canot be reloaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

the request is similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436610, you should describe one issue by bug though, adding an upstream bug watch, the ubuntu team has not the ressources to work on such changes right now and those should rather be discussed on bugzilla.gnome.org ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = Wishlist Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Also affects: rhythmbox via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436610 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Podcasts: interrupted downloads cannot be completed, deleted downloads canot be reloaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

To trigger the bug: * Select a podcast you are subscribed to, with some episodes already downloaded. A list is shown of episodes that are available at the podcast provider, with more information available on those that have already been downloaded. * Right-click on an episode that has already been downloaded. Select the option to delete the podcast. A dialog box with three buttons will pop up. One is Cancel. Another says Delete the episode only. The other says Delete the episode and the file At this point, many people will wonder what exactly is the episode and what is the file. This should really be clarified. * If the option delete episode and file is chosen, that episode's entry disappears from the list. Presumably, the sound file has also been erased from the file system. * If the option delete episode only is chosen, that episode's entry disappears from the list. The sound file remains somewhere in the file system, but where, or why, is not really clear. *I* do know the file is somewhere below the folder that has been chosen for podcast downloads, but I doubt that a naive user will easily find it; and even then, finding the lost episode in its folder is very difficult, because filenames for soundfiles are not the same as episode names. And, in any case, there are no options to add it again to Rhythmbox. If I wanted to recover disk space by deleting old episodes, I'd have to use the delete episode and file option, but then all references to those episodes would be forever lost, with no way offered to download again. There should be an option to delete the sound file only, that still left me with the entry in the index. Or an option to reload the full list of available episodes. If I want to clear the episode index by erasing the oldest ones, the two current options would do, However, delete episode only will leave difficult to purge sound files dormant in the filesystem. And Rhythmbox offers no way to download the full episode list again from the provider. The other problem is when a podcast download does not finish successfully: In those cases, a partial file may be kept by Rhythmbox, but there is no way to resume the download, and there is no way to delete the incomplete file and then fully reload, because the podcast index entry would be irrecoverably deleted with the sound file. That's why I say that to correct the problem, the options in the dialog should be: * Delete soundfile only * Delete soundfile and index entry. AND there should be an option in the podcast menu to refresh the full episode list. Currently, the podcast refresh option only gets the index entries for NEW episodes. With these three changes, it would be easy to recover disk space by only deleting the soundfiles; it would be easy to redo failed downloads, by deleting the failed soundfile and downloading again; and it would be easy to get rid of old episodes, but the possibility would remain to get at them again. ** Attachment added: unnamed http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14890678/unnamed -- Podcasts: interrupted downloads cannot be completed, deleted downloads canot be reloaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

thank you for your bug report. could you describe easy steps to trigger the bug? the description is not really clear. could you also report the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org directly since that seems to be an upstream issue and you know how to trigger the bug so you can reply to their comments ** Changed in: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: New = Incomplete -- Podcasts: interrupted downloads cannot be completed, deleted downloads canot be reloaded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
