4 years ago This happens to me every time I install CPod. It's been going on for a while now. I love this app so much. But the problem annoys me. I'm currently using a .deb package on Elementary OS 5.1. But I have also used the appimage as well as the snap app in the past. And the same problem occurs. I try various distributions as a hobby but maintain Elementary OS on at least one machine because it is my favorite. I have also installed CPod on Windows 10 but usually spend most of my time on Linux. So I'm not sure if the problem exists on that platform or not. It is not currently installed on my Windows PC because I reset the computer and now prefer using the apps in the Microsoft store on that particular system. I'm not a programmer. But if there is any way this can be fixed it would be greatly appreciated. I usually select the "close to taskbar" option. And that is what causes the problem. The podcasts do not display even when I stop and restart the app. The only solution for now is to restart the OS. I enjoy this app so much more than the others. It is a beautiful modern design and very convenient. My favorite choice for Linux.
CPod version: 1.27.1
Platform: Win 10
Install type (.deb, Snap, etc.): CPod-Setup-1.27.1.exe
Description: Manually copy/paste 34 known good .XML URL into search bar, clicked Subscribe,one at a time. Podcasts were all found and valid episodes loaded. Downloaded many items, then closed app for the day. Next morning, started the app, and all Subscriptions were gone. The downloaded .MP3 files were still in the specified directory.
Did the bug only appear after a CPod update? Version before, after: I am a first time user with V1.27.1
Steps to reproduce: Start CPod, paste "http://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/includes/ideas.xml" into Search bar, click Subscribe, close the app, open the app, look in Subscriptions, and its empty. Happens every time I tried this, 4+ times.
Other helpful information (e.g. Developer Tools console log, screenshots) if possible: One thing I am doing that many people are not doing. I have an Admin username defined which does have Admin privileges. This username is almost never logged in. Just used when I need to run something as Admin. The main username that is always logged in, brearley does NOT have admin privileges.
The installer .exe did not prompt me for any Admin privileges, probably because you installed in c:\users\brearley\Appdata\Local\Programs, which may not be protected by Windows.
