Worked brilliantly, thanks for your help. Now I just have to delete a bunch of podcasts because after copying all of those files, it has left me with only 120MB in MyDocs :P

I've imported the nokia apps repo, which is also available on device, in the OBS. This means that python-feedreader is now available for builds and gpodder does now build for Harmattan.

I just downloaded gPodder and must say it is a very neat podcast client! I like the fact that it is so easy to download, stream and pick up from where I left off last time. This works much better than the default RSS client, which actually isn't that bad apart from resuming previous listenings.

Has there been any development in regards to playing videos with gPodder on Harmattan? I just added the TEDTalks (video) podcast and it does only play back the audio. Maybe it could be possible to open the video using the native video client until the Aegis problem is sorted out (is there an open API for this?) since that already has resume from last position implemented?

In any case, it is really no big deal to use gPodder to download the video and open it under the native video client manually. I'm just curious if there's been any development to giving python more privileges. Kudos for making such a great app!

We even had video playback in the app some time ago - the problem is that as soon as video was played, the QML UI slowed down (even after stopping the video), so that's why we ripped out video playback for now. Qt Mobility does provide the QML "Video" element. I should check to see if it's fixed in newer firmware releases.

If not, we could always use the Content framework to at least open the video in the normal video player from within gPodder, although I'm not sure if we can get/set the position then. So yes, it's a known problem and we're working on it. I'm using gPodder myself, and also for videos, so I'll want to have that fixed myself, anyway

I've just uploaded gPodder 2.950.15 to Ovi Publish, should appear in Nokia Store soon. Among various other fixes to the backend, this version now uses the built-in "Videos" app to stream and play videos. Enjoy

Thanks for the feedback and for the update! Looking forward to testing it out

Just got my N9 synced up to gpodder.net, very nice.
At the moment I use my n9 to stream the latest podcasts, but i still carry around my n900 because it's got more storage and the maemo version of gpodder can auto-download on wifi.

It's awesome that I can listen to a podcast on my n900, and my n9 knows that and vice-versa. Thanks @thp!

Thanks for the great app
Unfortunately I am not able to launch it anymore (using N9).
Last time it happened the update to v3 were just here and the update corrected the problem. Now I am stucked with nothing
I tried uninstall it and install it again but did not improve it.

To make it clear, what i see is the 'loading, please wait' and then it closes...

I remember from N900 time that there was a way to launch it from command line and see the actual error but I do not know what to launch anymore from the terminal...

I experienced that problem too, if you run in xterminal, is no problem.
Finally, I reflashed, then install it again, everything become fine.

The bug you people are most likely experiencing is a regression in 3.0.0 that has been fixed in 3.0.1. I've uploaded 3.0.1 on Sunday, it's currently waiting for Nokia Store QA.

As a workaround, move the "gPodder" folder from MyDocs (i.e. "Nokia N9" when you connect it via USB Mass Storage) somewhere else and then gPodder should start up again (and don't add podcasts with non-ASCII characters in their title for the time being to avoid the bug). After 3.0.1 is out, just upgrade via the Store app and everything should be back to normal (and better)
