register gpodder:// protocol to support Podlove Subscribe Button #26

Open katrinleinweber opened 9 years ago

katrinleinweber commented 9 years ago

Hello!

I'm testing gPodder v4.4.0 on Sailfish 1.1.1.27 and noticed the following problem.

Situation: Using the default browser to click on the Podlove Subscribe Button (please find more details about that here) on a podcast website that supports it (many examples, including shameless self-promo)

Result: On the one hand, gPodder is correctly recognises as installed on the Jolla, but upon confirming to subscribe to that feed with gPodder, the following error appears (apparently when the browser attempts to transfer the feed URL):

Oops.
One of the following (gpodder) is not a registered protocl or is not allowed in this context.
Nightly can't load this page for some reason.

Yes, it's not implemented for the Sailfish OS browser yet. Thanks for noticing.

katrinleinweber commented 9 years ago

OK, thanks. I wasn't sure at which end to report this, sorry. Do you know if this is already known to the Sailfish devs?

thp commented 9 years ago

We can maybe do it with a .desktop file like for other platforms, but I'll have to look at it. If it turns out that it's indeed a shortcoming of the browser, I'll look into forwarding the bug report.

Currently doing some investigations what can be done at https://github.com/florianjacob/gpo-sailfish - maybe at least support other platforms or alternative sailfish browsers?

The main problem is still that SailfishOS afaik doesn't have the xdg handler to parse such URI, but I would like to hear what @Keeper-of-the-Keys thinks about this.

Keeper-of-the-Keys commented 3 years ago

Hey @bionade24 as far as I know you are correct, if I remember correctly I saw that File Browser lists support for xdg-open as a OpenRepos only feature so we could look if we can also add it to the OpenRepos release.

bionade24 commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure if Sailfish Browser supports xdg-open, though.

Is this still relevant now that gpodder.net seems dead?

Keeper-of-the-Keys commented 1 month ago

hmmm interesting, I just visited gpodder.net to see what is going on there and it looks much more alive than last time.

thp commented 4 weeks ago

This doesn't have anything to do with gpodder.net, but rather with web pages linking to gpodder:// and that opens up the web page. Not sure what the current status of supporting this in Sailfish OS is.

Desktop OSse have xdg-mime: https://askubuntu.com/a/1023143/411552

@thp I figured that the only site that does that would be gpodder.net

While I will be the first to admit that I am not searching for new podcasts every day and thus probably don't know these websites very well I have never seen a website that uses gpodder:// links.
