I think you should find it through either Sourceforge or Freshmeat. It's a command line podcast aggregator but it has some excellent features and is very cron-job compatible.

I've recently started using PenguinTV (http://penguintv.sourceforge.net/). When I say recent, I mean yesterday. It will download podcasts (video and audio) to a single location, and manage the total size used for it's downloads. It plays the audio/video in the systems default media player. Popey's scripts may well be of use in the syncing of you device, if you were using PenguinTV to download them. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Rhythmbox seems good, but the problem I have is video support. Rhythmbox produces an error message upon downloading video podcasts (or when importing video files). This also leaves me confused as to how I might put videos onto my iPod with it. Does anyone know if there are plans to add video support to Rhythmbox? Since it uses gstreamer, I assume this would be trivial? -- Adam McMaster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I think it has a cleanup option, however what I do is use a few two scripts
to manage this process manually:-
copy_podcasts.sh - copies podcasts to my mp3 player. Only copies new ones.
#!/bin/sh
rsync -av --stats -progress --modify-window=1 ~/podcasts/ \
/media/IHP100/podcasts/
backup_podcasts.sh - copies podcasts to a server (called hal) for long term
storage. I use ssh-keys for authentication so it doesn't ask for a password
when i run this.
#!/bin/sh
rsync -avz -e ssh ~/podcasts \
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/media/Audio
delete_podcasts.sh - deletes all podcasts older then 7 days. I use this on
my home directory and when my mp3 player is becoming full I run it there too.
#!/bin/sh
find ./podcasts -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;
I know it's not exactly what you were after but it might help someone.
Cheers,
Al.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Programs to manage podcasts
HiI think Amarok will do most of what you want. I've only just started playing with the podcast bits of it, but it seems good so far. (a) Automatically downloads the podcasts for the subscribed feedsIt does this. (b) Automatically removes/adds them on my mp3 player given a certainamount of reserved disk space. Something like:use 300MB of the disk for podcasts, delete old podcasts and copy newones if in need of space. It will add new podcasts to the queue of tracks to be transferred to the MP3 player next time you connect it. I don't think you can set a maximum space to be used for podcasts. You can set a maximum number of episodes to store on the PC for each podcast, so it automatically deletes old episodes. I'm not sure if it will automatically remove the old tracks from the MP3 player though.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Programs to manage podcasts
Hi Albert Rhythmbox does include a podcast downloader also and you can select a folder to download too. So hope that answers both questions for you. -- Seek That Thy Might Know -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Programs to manage podcasts
Hi all, Does anybody know of any good program to manage podcasts? I am basically looking at a program with a couple of main features: (a) Automatically downloads the podcasts for the subscribed feeds (b) Automatically removes/adds them on my mp3 player given a certain amount of reserved disk space. Something like: use 300MB of the disk for podcasts, delete old podcasts and copy new ones if in need of space. Last time I checked, (b) was added in the Wishlist of features to be implemented in Rhythmbox. Anyone?
