      @theare27 said in Podbird reignited:

      The ideal would be for Podbird to be able to remember the queue, it's position within the episode and be able to resume playback on restart

      I agree this is the ideal: fix Podbird.

          Care to share the build for testing?

          I'd be happy to poke about and test a bit.

                  @geekvine Any updates on sharing your personal build? With the PinePhone shipping soon I'd be more than happy to test the fixes you've implemented.

                      Heya,

                      Just stumbled across this (if you need to contact me in the future my email address is mike@mikeasoft.com)

                      Feel free to fork the project if you'd like to take over maintenance of it, I'd rather it saw active development than languished due to my lack of time.

                      A major reason I'd stuck with Launchpad was for the translation integration and the excellent contributions from the Ubuntu Translators group. I think internationalisation is extremely important for usability (if something's not available in a language you speak it's pretty much unusable regardless of what else it offers), so if you do switch to a git hosting platform I'd appreciate it if you could set-up equivalent translation infrastructure.

                      Best of luck 🙂
                      Mike

                        Oh also, I own the podbird.org domain, if you'd like me to point the DNS towards somewhere else let me know.

                        Back before Ubuntu Touch was dropped by Canonical I had been working on some network services to sync subscriptions between devices, offer charts and recommendations, and to provide push notifications for new episodes; if you'd like to carry on with any of that work I've uploaded the site source code here:

                        https://github.com/Elleo/podbird-web

                        And the corresponding client code is in this branch:

                        https://code.launchpad.net/~michael-sheldon/podbird/sync-settings-devel

                        Cheers,
                        Mike

                            Isn't it better to push changes to your repo? Or do you prefer to step back from the project?

                            You did a great job and we really appreciate your app, remember that 🙂

                              @CiberSheep I'm happy to continue maintaining my bazaar branch if that's what people would prefer; although you may want to arrange code reviews amongst yourselves, so that you're not so held up on my time availability for reviewing (i.e. someone besides me can review and approve a branch and then I'll just merge it, trusting their judgement)

                              Or if you'd like to shift to git with someone else as the primary maintainer I'm still happy to publish builds for you, that way existing users will get upgrades directly from the open store and we can avoid having two different versions in the store.

                                Actually I think we shifted ownership of Podbird trunk to the Podbird Developers group back when we were still actively working on it, so I'm happy to add any of you who wish to continue work on that branch to that group and you'll be able to merge directly into it yourselves then (although I'd recommend you still maintain some code review amongst yourselves if there's enough of you).

                                    Podbird stops playing when PureMaps gives "Voice Instructions".
                                    Is this a Podbird, PureMAps or UT Issue??

                                      @Torkel67 that is probably the media hub. Only plays one source at a time... so UT. It's design to work like that I think it's true I remember playing podcast while driving and having uNav indications with no problem...

                                        I do have quite some problem to add a new podcast via url! In the past it worked without any problem. Does anyone realize this problem too?
                                        I already tried lots of different ways to add a new podcast! Also tried a few different podcasts with different url endings. Also https and htttp
                                        Any ideas?
