Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Podcast support is a bit flakey. If it's using wget (assuming?) it's
ignoring the wgetrc file. I am trying to download onto an SMB share,
but that requires restricting file names via restrict_file_names=windows
in /etc/wgetrc. Even with this, rhythmbox gets stuck downloading
because there is an invalid character in the temp filename.
This shouldn't be reported as "waiting" but rather an error.
Which brings me to my next point. Why can I not see the error from within
rhythmbox??? I needed to manually run wget in order to figure out why podcasts
were failing. This is not at all obvious.
Next problem with podcasts: the UI totally ignores the podcast directory
and resets it back to the home directory. It also gives no error message
when you try to set it to something like an SMB share. And yet this
clearly doesn't work...
ubuntu 9.10, plain vanilla install.
