Podbird reignited
-
Hello guys again,
I have for you another version for testing. Restoring position should be more reliable now, I changed behavior of seeking slider and added to episode details position were you stopped listening certain episode.
Download armhf and arm64 build.@CiberSheep Your issue should be fixed

- Sometimes plays, or sometimes renders the episode completely unplayable
@joe Please test if this issue still persist

Any code there that might be helpful in debugging Podbird / Media-hub intergeneration?
Thanks, that idea helped me quite a bit, music app has a lot of workarounds

I'm about to cry... it renders even the position of older downloaded episodes that I previously partially listened. Position recovery is working on downloaded and online episodes woohooo!
Seeking in an episode is really smooth
Thanks!

Awesome it seems to be working. At first the position wasn't being remembered but I turned it off and on again, and that seemed to make it work post download. Works offline. Thank you!
I will continue testing to be sure.

@danqo6 vastly better in terms of media hub integration and playback position retention
Incredible progress made, many thanks for all your work, it's really getting there now
-
@danqo6 fantastic work! thanks a lot! does this new version was already uploaded to the OpenStore?
-
@malditobastardo don't think so - but links to the packages are above
-
@malditobastardo not yet, just made merge request.
Thanks for awesome feedback and testing to you all!
-
Just released version 0.8.9 to the Open Store with @danqo6's latest changes, thanks very much!

I would like to spitball a feature request. Last time I tried to put paid podcasts onto my UT device, I had two options: either send them from my laptop via USB or the like, or, use Firefox within Libertine to open the site where they were downloaded from (because last I checked Morph Browser wasn't capable of logging into the site in question, or rendering it, I forget which) to download them to the SD card. The site in question is Podbean, but there are other platforms which allow for premium subscriptions I think. A third option would be to run the Podbean .apk within Anbox and hack-sync the downloads from the Anbox filesystem to the UT filesystem, but ehh, I don't want such a crude brute force method. In any event, these three options would require the podcasts to be played in the Music app, but as the apps stand now, I prefer playing podcasts in Podbird to Music.
So, could we find a way to input credentials into Podbird and have it access specific archives of premium podcasts depending on which ones you are subscribed to? I believe Podbird syncs it's free podcasts according to the iTunes database, so can we implement this for other podcast databases which are password protected?

Hi, @tartanspartan
For feature request you should go to:
https://launchpad.net/podbird
Create a bug and tag it as part of the "wishlist"And it seems to me your request is more general and is worth a dedicated thread in the general category maybe.
I think this is not simple at all and might require heavy rework of the system.
Or maybe I'm wrong and the account management feature can be used.
