Description Anoop Mehta 2008-08-01 16:37:09 UTC

There is no longer an option to Play your Podcasts or News Feeds via the SqueezeNetwork WEB UI. 

If you go to SN.com--> Favorites--> Click on Podcasts or News Feeds. There is no way to play a Podcast or News Feed that has been added to your favorites.

In campfire Andy said "because you can't play a news feed or podcast.. you can browse podcasts from the Browse page though". Is this bug invalid? Or an enhancement request?

ping anoop

This to me is a bug because we should be able to play podcasts through favorites correct?

If not what is the point of adding them to your favorites?

Maybe I am a bit confused about how this all works. Please help me out if I am.

There is another bug open for being able to play all episodes of a podcast with a single click/button press.  Until that's fixed, there's no way to 'play a podcast' from Favorites.

Currently you have to browse a podcast first, by going to Browse -> Podcasts in the web UI or Extras -> Podcasts in the player UI.

Andy- Thank you for the clarification...Should we take out the option to save a Podcast as a favorite until the other bug is fixed?

Comment 6 Anoop Mehta 2008-08-12 11:30:43 UTC

ahhh! nevermind, if we took out that feature you would not be able to play them from favorites on the player itself.
