2 === Todo List for gPodder ===
6 Please could the timeout on updating the feed cache be reduced? I
7 currently have 27 feeds in gPodder and if one of the RSS feeds is
8 down for whatever reason, it takes a long, long time before it
9 continues to check the other feeds. I think a timeout of 10 seconds
12 Is it possible to sort the Channel list by alphabetical order, or to
13 add this as a preference?
15 Could you add an option for filesystem MP3 player synchronisation to
16 not use folders, my device doesn't support folders so I have to
17 copy the files back out?
19 I listen to 99% of my podcasts on my MP3 player and vary rarely from
20 inside gPodder so it would be very useful if you could add an option
21 to automatically mark all synchronised podcasts as played. Currently
22 I need to synchronise and then go through each episode and mark it

27 * My element for the wishlist: have gPodder produce a sound when a
28 download is comlete, like DownThemAll has. It is very convenient
29 when you are not watching the download progress to get an audible
30 indication that the process has finished.
32 (suggested by Wilfred van Rooijen <wvanrooijen@yahoo.com>)
34 * Maybe a "read RSS from shell pipe" would be helpful
36 * It really bugs me how I have to wait half a minute every time I start
37 gPodder while my feeds are updating. Wouldn't it be better if you'd let
38 the feeds update in the background? You could, perhaps, place a status
39 bar at the bottom of the window to display the progress instead.
41 (suggested by Pieter De Decker (pdedecker gmail com)
43 * Would it be possible to implement a "delete all from all channels"
44 feature? I'm finding myself downloading episodes, sending them to my
45 iPod, and then handling deletion via gtkpod.
47 (suggested by Andy Busch (buschap at speakeasy.net)
49 * It would be great if gpodder supported (either through preferences or
50 through an addition to the device list) the ability to synchronize only
51 unplayed podcasts or the last "x" number of unplayed podcasts. This is a
52 feature that is currently supported by iTunes and would be of great help
53 for persons with limited free space on their devices or massive podcast
56 -> partially done (unplayed podcasts as an option)
58 -- suggested by Stephan Buys <stephan.buys@gmail.com>
60 * I think it would be nice if gPodder had a color indicator (like it
61 already has for downloaded/deleted episodes) for podcasts that haven't
62 been transferred to the device yet. What do you think? Is this possible?
63 (Pieter De Decker, pdedecker gmail.com)
65 * Utilize DesktopEntry in python-xdg for libplayers
67 * Now for a genuine feature request: a search box?
68 -> partially implemented (search-as-you-type in available episodes)
69 (Michel Salim; michel.salim gmail.com)
71 * My second suggestion is to include a systray icon similar to the ones
72 many music players have. It would be great if I could hide/show the
73 gpodder window by clicking on it. Getting current download status on
74 mouseover would be amazing. Being notified when a download finished
75 either by status icon or notification popup would be the ne plus
76 ultra. :) (suggested by Holger Bauer -- umarmung@email.de)
78 * Also, is there an automated way to keep only the most recent X episodes?
79 (suggested by Andy -- apblist@speakeasy.net)
81 * the sync command seems to be a one-way transfer. It doesn't seem to delete
82 from the iPod the episodes that have been deleted in gpodder. Sure, I
83 can use the "clean up" command, which seems to delete all of them, and
84 then sync, but that's a lot of extra disk activity.
85 (suggested by Andy -- apblist@speakeasy.net)
88 -> maybe delete podcasts that are deleted locally but still on ipod
90 * My favourite Videocast offers 3gp-Files (for mobiles) and m4v-Files
91 (for iPods) in his feed.gPodder loads the low quality m4v-File, which
92 is not only low quality, kaffeine can't even play it. How can I
93 change the behaviour to load the m4-File? Maybe a list with filetype
94 priorities would help. (suggested by Timm Preetz <timm -- preetz us>)
96 * In preferences dialog, have two choices for programs (one for video
97 podcasts, one for audio podcasts)
98 (suggested by Philipp Ottlinger, otg@aiki-it.de)
100 * as i prefer to be behind a VPN-Tunnel i alwas stuck at certain Feeds
101 when i update the podcasts. So it would be nice if i could have a
102 skip button on that windows coz gpodder would wait forever
103 (suggested by Juergen.Schinker <ba1020@homie.homelinux.net>)
105 -------------------------
107 * Make (at least optional) it possible to populate MP3 files' tags from
108 the metadata found in the feed. Possible options:
110 -> Never populate MP3 files
111 -> Only populate when MP3 files don't yet have tags
112 -> Always populate; overwrite old tags if existing
114 (partially implemented already)
116 (Thanks to ubunt2@gmail.com for suggesting the metadata populate feat.)
118 * in libipodsync.py: use mime magic instead of extension-based
119 video detection? --> also, is mp4 always video or could it be
120 aac audio too? if so, how to check what is what?
122 according to http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62723,
123 mp4 files can be both audio and video files.. m4v and m4a are wrong
124 extensions introduced by apple.. maybe a stripped-down mime magic
125 detection could do the trick? (we only need to detect the file types
126 supported by ipods, after all.. mp3, aac, wav, mov, mp4-video, ..?)
