Enhanced options for podcast channels

I propose a number of changes to the way Madsonic handles podcast channels. Specifically: 1. Allow for individual channel update options. Most channels update once per day at a specific time. Unfortunately for some that may be in the morning, and others in the afternoon (more typical since a number ...

Add an easy method for adding new podcast episodes manually

There are times where I have the mp3 file from a past episode from a channel that has long dropped the episode entry from their XML feed. However, for one reason or another I want to keep that episode and have it available. To do that I would like to see an easy way to enter the required information...

Re: Podcast episode list contains duplicates

How about an option for certain podcasts that basically wipes the database for that channel and replaces it with the newly fetched XML. That would imply that the podcast will NOT keep old episodes and need to physically delete episodes no longer in the XML. Then Madsonic can check the disk to see if...

Re: Playback controls missing from downloaded podcasts

I think the code must check to see if the episode actually exists on disk before adding the playback controls. I would suggest that when that check is made, and the episode doesn't exist on disk, then the STATUS field in the database should be changed back to "SKIPPED". This needs to be do...

Re: Podcast episode list contains duplicates

UPDATE: So it seems that the URLs are custom generated when the RSS feed is fetched. This seems to be related to the fact that this is a premium feed and the URLs generated are valid for a limited amount of time. So in the example above, the first two URLs gave a "Forbidden" error while tr...

Re: Podcast episode list contains duplicates

I now have one podcast that seems to get duplicate entries all the time. It seems like even the daily scheduled updates may cause the problem because every day the duplicates appear. I also now know why. What is happening is that there is a prefix number attached early on into the URL. Here's an exa...

Re: Need a way to fetch authenticated podcasts

Does it work with https ? https://USER:PASSWORD@server.com/podcast-xml/premium/ So for the user involved who is sharing their podcast, it would appear that his account was suspended by the provider. He has contacted the provider's support, but in the meantime what I don't know is whether or not it ...

Need a way to fetch authenticated podcasts

I have a podcast that I have paid for a subscription. The RSS feed and content are behind a password protected URL, and so prompts for a username and password. At first I was able to use the http://username:password@hostname.com method, but somewhere along the line the podcaster figured that out and...

I created a link to share a song with another person using the share feature. I connected to the Madsonic server using the created URL on various devices and here was the result: Android: I tried Chrome, Firefox, and Samsung's Internet browser (powered by Chrome, so probably would act the same), the...

Podcast Receiver Can't handle episodes with same name

I have an XML feed from a provider where the final filename for all the podcast episodes are the same. The differentiator is in the download URL. For instance: http://example.com/wednesday/episode.mp3 http://example.com/thursday/episode.mp3 http://example.com/friday/episode.mp3 You can see that the ...

Podcast episode list contains duplicates

A number of my podcasts now have duplicate entries in the episode lists. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about: podcast-3.JPG Notice that every entry is repeated. When I look in the podcast database, it looks like the entries are repeated there as well. All the fields are the same except the...

Playback controls missing from downloaded podcasts

I don't know if playback controls is the right term, but here's the problem: I currently have 5 active podcasts in my library. In the list of episodes, if an episode has been downloaded, there is usually a set controls to the left of the episode that allow for "Play", "Play Next"...

Extend Node functionality to play on Chromecast device/group

I have not used a Madsonic node yet, so I don't know if this exists currently or not. Based on the documentation I've read, I would guess not. For a Madsonic Node, Instead of playing music to the local audio device, utilize Chromecast to have the node play content to a Chromecast device or group. Th...

Re: Chromecast = NoGo

Yes, it is tied to the browser. In reality, I don't think there is a difference between the app within the browser casting vs. the browser itself. I also said that I tried this with Firefox and the web player didn't even give me a cast option. It's clear that the ability to cast (from the browser or...

Re: Scrollbar missing for left panel in Chrome

I almost posted on this the other day, however I noticed that when I clicked (or pointed) into that frame and used the scroll wheel on my mouse, the menu scrolled for me. I was also able scroll with the arrow keys. I'm not sure if the scrollbar is missing due to a bug or due to aesthetic reasons.

It seems the only way I can get the users to be able to do that is give them the podcast management, but that also give them the abilit...
