Car-Cast simply aborts a download sometimes #2

If a network connection goes away, Car-cast will just abort a download in progress. This needs to retry or restart or at least notify users about what went wrong.

I think it might be nice if the UI had a details button which when pressed would take the user to a detail screen.

The first cut of the details screen could just be a scrollable text area which shows each site, a summary of what was there, what it decided to fetch, how many times it tried for each podcast, and the nature of the error it got (closed connection, timeout, yada...)

It would be useful as sometimes it just says got 5 podcasts - when you really would like to know exactly what 5 it got.

pforhan commented 14 years ago

Agreed.

last night I pushed out an update to carcast... CarCast Sept-10 1.0.69

I've added a setting, "Show complete downloads", which gives the detailed download view when you start downloading podcasts. It also has an email menu item which allows the download details to be easily emailed to carcast-devs@googlegroups.com for review.

I'm now working on changes to the history file so that you can erase the history for a given subscription.

I've finished that per-subscription history clearing.
