Podbird reignited
-
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 thinkit'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? -
@flaun-in I can see this bug, will look at it
-
@flaun-in I made fix for that, see https://code.launchpad.net/~dano6/podbird/podbird/+merge/386561

@danqo6 Great! Very, very quick:) Thank you!
How could I try it out? Is it possible to compile a new updated version of podbird?
(sorry, I don't know that much about all this....) -
Thanks @danqo6, I'll give it a review when I have a bit of time spare and put out a new release

I keep looking for this feature, but I can't seem to find it. I have the latest version from the open-store on the OP3.
- Fix playback rate

@joe That wasn't a new feature, it was a bug fix (a previous MR had included a change to the playback rate which shouldn't have been there). I might see about making the playback rate configurable when putting together the next release though
-
@Elleo Ok thanks for the clarification. And thank you for working on this!

Hello guys, I implemented today that podbird can remember queue between restarts and playback position for every episode. There is new setting where you can set up that episode will continue in playing where you left. Can you please test it? Download armhf or arm64 build.
@flaun-in It has implemented that fix too -

Whhhheeeet?? How did you do that?
-
@danqo6 amazing! Highly desired feature.
It works on armhf Ubuntu Touch GSI OP3.
Interesting that it is an optional setting. I , too, wonder how it works, and would a crash of Podbird still be able to catch the position before it closes? Will continue testing.
Thank you for this!

Arale on dev channel
- Reopening the app keeps the cue (but keeps the already listened episodes)
- Position in a episode is lost (always starts from position 0:00) no matter if it's on or off settings for downloaded episodes
*. - Listen an episode until the end, reopen the app. The episode stays in the cue
*-- If the last listened episode is a downloaded episode, when reopening, the position is lost
-- Online episodes remember position
-- If you listen to a downloaded episode, jump to an online episode and reopen the app. Position of both episodes are remembered -

Because I am not sure how reliable it is

No, during crash it shouldn't work, it catches event onDestruction and during crash it is not trigerred.
@CiberSheep I will test more
-
@CiberSheep Thanks for extensive testing, I can reproduce it too.
-
@danqo6 sounds fab - will install, test and provide feedback
-
I have an issue like this:
Downloading episode and playing doesn't seem to know that it is downloaded.- Close the app
- Turn off wifi
- Open and try to play and nothing happens.
- Turn on wifi
- Sometimes plays, or sometimes renders the episode completely unplayable
It's more of an issue of Podbird not knowing that the episode can be played offline.
Seems to be the case with the new setting on or off.
