Bugzilla – Bug 8424
should be able to play all episodes from a podcast
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:27:59 UTC
Pressing PLAY on a podcast should play all episodes, skipping non playable items such as "About this podcast".
The problem with this is that you don't know if a particular feed contains playable items before you drill into it, so I don't think this can be fixed easily at this point.
Dear Andy, I recently send an email to the support. This feature was running fine some months ago! But now, we have to PLAY each episode manually: this is not very cool ! I think It is not very complex because of the tag "type". Here is an example: <outline URL="http://content.us.squeezenetwork.com:8080/opml/odeo.opml" text="Odeo: Fresh Audio Content" type="link"/> .......................................^ If type=link then it opens a new feed if type=audio then play it! So, If I play a pod cast, play all the episode with type=audio So, If I play a specific pod cast, depending on the type either open it or read it! I hope it helps you and your team. Anyway, great job ! Thanks.
Sorry, A precision: I have this problem with the SqueezeNetwork and not with SqueezeCenter ... Sorry for the mistake.
Dear Dean, (sorry for my english) Some thinking about managing Pod cast. Squeezebox is able to present Pod cast using OPML files. Well. An OPML is a list of pod cast. An OPML entry can be : - either another OPML file (ie: podcastalley: http://podcastalley.com/feeds/PodcastAlleyTop50.opml) - either an RSS file, containing mp3 URL (ie:http://podcast.rtl.fr/zapping.xml) The "state of art" will be that the squeeze box will able to play all the entry of an RSS file if we play it at the OPML "level" How? If I push "play" an OPML entry then if the returning stream is an OPML then display it as a "normal" OPML file if the returning stream is an RSS then play all the URL (randomely, sequentially depending on the SB parameters) else "Invalid XML file" --> this was the case in previous release of squeezenetwork. If I browse an entry (right arrow)then display it (as currently) This feature is very interesting because some web sites (DJ, radio, services, home pages, ...) purpose Playlist pusblished as RSS feed. I hope my explanations are useful and my english enough english! If not, don't worry about me. Thanks.
Will both SqueezeCenter and Squeezenetwork be addreesed in this bug?
Yep.

We are now planning to make a 7.3.3 release. Please review your bugs (all marked open against 7.3.3) to see if they can be fixed in the next few weeks, or if they should be retargeted for 7.4 or future. Thanks!
Since there's now a planned 7.3.3 release, bugs which won't make the cut-off are being moved to the next target out. If you feel that this bug needs to be addressed more (or less) urgently than the 7.4 release, please cc chris@slimdevices.com and leave a comment in the bug to that effect so we can review it. Thanks.
For some reason Bugzilla did not change the target when I did this yesterday. Or maybe it was me. In either case, I'm trying it again.
