* Package name : hpodder Version : 0.5.0 Upstream Author : John Goerzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://quux.org/devel/hpodder * License : GPL Programming Lang: Haskell Description : Tool to scan and download podcasts (podcatcher) Podcasting is a method of publishing radio-like programs on the Internet. Through podcasting, almost anyone can produce their own audio program, and publish episodes of it as often or as rarely as they like. . To listen to podcasts, you need a program to download the podcast's episodes from the Internet. Such a program is called a podcatcher (or sometimes a podcast aggregator). hpodder is this program. . hpodder's features include: . Convenient, easy to learn, and fast command-line interface. It's simple to do simple things, and advanced things are possible. . Automatic discovery of feed metadata . Full history database for accurate prevention of duplicate downlaods and tracking of new episodes . Conversion tools to convert your existing feed list and history from other applications to hpodder. Supported applications and formats include: castpodder and ipodder. . Most operations can work fully automatically across your entire podcast database, or they can work manually. . Automatic updating of ID3 (v1 and v2) tags based on metadata in the podcast feed. This important feature is available through iTunes but is often missed by other podcatchers. . hpodder operations can be easily scripted or scheuled using regular operating system tools. . Fully customizable naming scheme for downloaded episodes, including a name collision detection and workaround algorithm. . Automatic support for appending .mp3 extensions to MP3 files that lack them. . Numerous database and history inquiry tools . Small, minimalist footprint . Power users and developers can interact directly with the embedded Sqlite3 database used by hpodder. The database has a simple schema that is developer-friendly. . Support for resuming interrupted downloads of podcasts . hpodder is SAFE and is designed with data integrity in mind from the beginning. It should be exceedingly difficult to lose a podcast episode, even in the event of a power failure. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.6 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
