Cannot subscribe to rss feed, cannot launch anymore

Hello @son-link, I am looking for a small Podcast player for use with helloSystem.

When trying to subscribe to https://feeds.fireside.fm/bsdnow/rss, I get a crash:

% /var/run/user/1001/_home_user_Desktop_minimal-podcasts-player-master.zip/minimal-podcasts-player-master/minimal-podcasts-player      
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.

    raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
zsh: abort   

When I then try to run the application again, it does not even start anymore:

% /var/run/user/1001/_home_user_Desktop_minimal-podcasts-player-master.zip/minimal-podcasts-player-master/minimal-podcasts-player
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/run/user/1001/_home_user_Desktop_minimal-podcasts-player-master.zip/minimal-podcasts-player-master/minimal-podcasts-player", line 3, in <module>
    mpp.init()
  File "/var/run/user/1001/_home_user_Desktop_minimal-podcasts-player-master.zip/minimal-podcasts-player-master/mpp/__init__.py", line 324, in init
    if config['theme'] != 'system':
KeyError: 'theme'

At this point, I have to delete ~/.local/share/mpp/ to be able to launch the application again.

Firts, thanks for using my proyect. The first failure is because the server on receiving the request returns the HTTP status code 403, this response code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it. Accessing from a browser the URL loads correctly, so I will test it from the program.

As for the second bug it is due to a small known bug that I will fix in the next revision and that affects when the default configuration is generated. You have to open the ~/.local/share/mpp/mpp.ini file and add this line

theme = default

[son-link]

This issue has been fixed pending the release of the next version.

[probonopd]

Cool. Please git push, thanks.

[son-link]

The new release is publised

[probonopd]

Still.... (Yes I deleted the settings file)

% /home/user/Desktop/bin/minimal-podcasts-player
Traceback (most recent call last):

    if config['theme'] != 'system':

If I remove all theming related code then it works:

Would you consider to (also?) license your project under a permissive license, such as MIT or BSD 2-clause?

[son-link]

You can testing the last commit remove , or backup, the config file? I tested on mi PC and Windows and now realy generate the default condig with the theme option

[probonopd]

Yes, I had done rm -rf /home/user/.local/share/mpp/, then started the application, closed the application, tried to start again. Does not work until I do rm -rf /home/user/.local/share/mpp/ again.

[son-link]

Umm, i testing more and it's working. Have you tested it with the latest commit or have you tested it with the latest release? Because if it's with the latest it's normal because it doesn't have the fix, I have to test it before and then create a release.

[probonopd]

Will test again.

You are right, https://github.com/son-link/minimal-podcasts-player/commit/b155a9cb62a59e053788229f974f261723436504 solves it. Thank you!
