how to add podcast feed to podcatcher?

[davidmaxwaterman]

Hi,

I'm trying to use hpodder to download the selection of podcasts listed on your site:

http://webcomponents.org/podcasts/

It doesn't seem to understand the rss feed - does it actually contain any direct references to podcasts? Any ideas how to get it to work nicely?

Thanks.

@davidmaxwaterman yes it should have references - although i'm not sure if podcatcher follows specific patterns that we are utilizing. What keys are missing and what is breaking in hpodder?

Well, I go to the above url and copy the rss url, then run :

[~]$ hpodder add http://feeds.feedburner.com/webcomponentsorg/podcasts
Podcast added:
    URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/webcomponentsorg/podcasts
    ID: 16

I then :

[~]$ hpodder update 16
1 podcast(s) to consider

Get: 16

What do you think?

use the --debug option. I wonder if the pointer keys are different than that of what itunes might use see The Web Platform Podcast Feed

[~]$ hpodder --debug update 16

I would check with the cli maintainer. To me, I see no direct issue on the feeds side. The output seems to indicate that everything just worked so....idk.

[davidmaxwaterman]

Yeah, that kind of why I thought there was no actual references to podcasts on there...just references to other references...or something (I hope you get what I'm trying to say).

Unfortunately, there is no maintainer for hpodder.... :/

Oh well, thanks anyway.
