Software :: How To Record Podcasts?
Mar 31, 2010
How do I record the podcasts from this source [URL].. I have tried mplayer I get a "stream not seekable" error. I also tried arecord which I thought was supposed to record whatever sound is coming through the computer. I tried to use the "sound recorder" that comes with Ubuntu but that records only from the microphone (source is "capture" with no other options. Using Ubuntu 9.04 on an Acer Aspire one netbook Having even less success with Ubuntu 9.04 on my Acer desktop computer.

How do you tell rhythmbox that podcasts already downloaded outside the program are in fact podcasts? Mine are mostly just mp3 files and it doesn't seem possible to drag and drop them into the podcast section but I also can't find anything in the song properties.

what do people use to catch and assimilate their podcasts? I found a thread from a few years ago but am looking to see if that's still up to date.I don't have an iPod so it would be just to listen to on my laptop and to put files on my Motorola Droid. I don't even mind manually putting the files on the phone. I just want something easy to install and use.I tried getting gpodder and couldn't figure out how to get it installed
Edit-I finally got upgraded to 9.10
Last but not least, I was wondering if there were any workarounds for watching Netflix videos or shows on sites like ABC/NBC/Fox etc. I'm really trying to stick with Ubuntu but this is one of the really annoying things along with the growing list of applications i can't run I'm trying to get used to Ubuntu as a way to get out of buying a copy of Windows so I'm not really interested in solutions that involve dual booting because if I'm going to have to buy a copy of 7, I'm just going to format the laptop.

I get one of two errors when trying to play MP3 podcasts. The first time I try to play a podcast, I get an error message that reads, "Couldn't start playback. Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rythmbox or GStreamer." If I try to play it again, it gets the error message "Couldn't start playback. (null)"
I've allready installed the Ubuntu restricted extras package.

Currently I'm using gpodder to download podcasts from the internet, and gtkpod to upload them to my iPod. I like gpodder, but I'm not a fan of gtkpod. First, I find its UI rather confusing. Second, it doesn't automatically find new podcast directories, when I subscribe to a new podcast and gpodder creates a new folder. Third, it doesn't show episode release dates, so simply find a single episode in the long list is hard work! Finally, episodes are simply moved to the iPod, but I don't find them in the Podcast menu on the iPod--they are simply in the huge Music folder.
Regarding the last point, it is in fact possible to make episodes appear in the Music->Podcast entry on the iPod. You simply have to put episodes in a special playlist on the iPod repository called (surprise!) "Podcasts". It is a playlist of type "podcast", and with it podcasts are uploaded as expected to the device.
In the end, I think I'll stick with gtkpod. All other alternatives I considered don't support playlist, and this is even worse than not having episode release date, or having to manually add new podcast dirs.

I'm having a problem with banshee. It's doubling podcasts. Also it says that three different podcasts have the same size and length as each other(which they don't) Unfortunately I can't download to test them yet as my internets slow till midnight.
In screenshot 1 you can see the podcast doubled when viewing all podcasts. However when i go directly into the Desert island discs feed it only displays one, which is correct(screenshot two)

Whenever there is a new episode available for several podcasts I listen too, and I know are available because Banshee downloads them , Rhythmbox will not update, even if I do a manual "update podcast feed". (Banshee of course has a different problem of not connecting to my ipod so I can't just switch over to using it) Sometimes I end up either having to wait for the podcast until it updates (which seems to happen eventually, sometimes a few hours after the podcast was made available), or go through the trouble of just downloading the podcast from the podcast website and importing it into the music library---a hassle. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone figured out what to do about it?

I'm trying to subscribe to a podcast using banshee, the problem is that when the add dialog disappears nothing happen. No error is given and my podcast isn't added.I'sure it's a valid podcast since I can add it to rhythmbox.

As a Fedora user, I listen to podcasts via gpodder. But some podcasters only seem to allow one to subscribe via iTunes. For example the well-known factcheck.org website's new "Factcheck Radio" podcast service[URL]..
I can't work out how to subscribe to it using gpodder or any other generic podcast aggregating software.Click on any episode title, and you'll get a page with a "subscribe to the podcast on iTunes" link.
I found some info about iTunes-only podcasts and Linux [URL]..but I don't see how to apply it in this case.Can anyone find a way that Fedora users can subscribe to Factcheck Radio?

I recently installed Amarok v2.3. My Sony Walkman shows up under local collection and I can play songs directly off the Walkman. HOWEVER, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how I am able to transfer songs or podcasts from my laptop to the Walkman (akin to the old system where you'd right-click on the item you wanted to play and select queue to device, or whatever it was).

I used to be able to say that miro is the best internet tv viewer i've ever used, hands down. But, ever since my upgrade to karmic, and then lucid, the videos i try to watch on miro lag a LOT.
So, is there anything out there that would make a good replacement? Or, better yet, is there a way that i can fix miro?

I just found out about this tool this morning. I was having trouble accessing a podcast that required iTunes to be installed on your computer, probably to access iTunes store. I did a Google search and found Feed Flipper. It takes the podcast URL and "flips" it into an XML RSS feed. I was able to add the link from that conversion into Rhythmbox and it worked. Just thought I'd share if anybody was having a similar issue.

I switched to Ubuntu a couple weeks ago, and I like it very much. The only problem I've got is I can't subscribe to podcasts as I used to with iTunes. Is there a podcast client like iTunes for Windows?

I am using itunes on Windows to listen to different radio shows and I am interested if there is any application in openSUSE that can automatically read the link to the podcast as it is present on apple's page.I found a way to play the podcast thru Amarok but I had to convert somehow the link from apple to some xml that Amarok can understand. I'm thinking maybe if there is something more straightforward.

I used Gpodder to manage my podcast downloads and it works well for my needs. Currently I have been using Rhythmbox to manage the handling of my podcasts in terms of storing and playing. Because I don't have access to radio (I'm in India) I only ever listen to podcasts and I play them randomly throughout the day. My needs are quite simple yet there are a couple of frustrations with Rhythmbox that I'm still looking to improve, so is there an alternative? I've tried Banshee, which isn't much of an improvement on Rhythmbox, and I use Quod Libet for music, so that one is out of the question as I want to keep that exclusively for music, not podcasts. Here are my problems:
- Rhythmbox does not remember whether a track has been played after turning the computer off (or maybe after library has been rescanned). As a consequence I end up hearing the same podcasts. Why does it do this? This is illogical.
- I can't stop Rhythmbox from playing a track that has already been played. This is available in Banshee ('Repeat Off' feature).
- When I remove a track from my library in Rhythmbox (right-hand mouseclick and select 'remove') it is only removed in that session. It comes back when I reboot the computer or rescan the library. Then...
- When I delete a track from my library, it deletes the actual file from my computer. In Foobar I was able to permanently delete the track from my library but not from my computer. Is there a compromise between this issue and the one above?
- In Banshee I cannot change the display of the Browser. It seems to be showing 'Artist' in one window and then 'Album Art', Album. Artist in the window underneath. This is a pointless display for me. Because of the way podcasts are generally labeled the most useful tag to view by is Album.
- In Rhythmbox my favourite display is where the browser displays Album (I can't change it from Artist and Album but I can live with that), and where the library displays Title | Album | Play Count | Date Added. However I can't drag columns like I can in Banshee.
To sum up - I want to permanently delete from the library tracks that have already been played; only play a track once; have the media player remember my preferences after reboot; give priority to Album in the browser; have flexibility in the library to display any column how/where I want. I have tried Banshee and Rhythmbox and need a mix of features that both offer. I'm hoping I've just over-looked some features in either player.

Running 11.04, question pertains to Banshee podcasts and Android:
I'd like to copy podcasts to my android phone through Banshee, but when I set it up to sync entire library, it tries to copy them, and some do work, but I get a bunch of errors for each podcast that say "permission denied." (see screen shot)
I'm not sure how I would go about enabling that permission, or if permitting Banshee to operate with root privileges would solve the problem.
Music, by the way, copies just fine, and the phone is detected wonderfully (it's an Incredible 2, by the way.)

I'm about to make the switch to Ubuntu but what's holding me back is Liferea. From what I've read it's by far the best RSS reader but I'm having three major problems with it...
1) I am trying to get Liferea to download podcasts that I subscribe to. I've set my download folder in preferences, and I've set the feed to automatically download enclosures in the advanced tab of the feed folder. Nothing is downloading, why?
2) I want the 'Unread' search folder to display all feeds from all subscriptions (read or unread) apart from those in the Podcast folder I've created. How do I do this?
3) I read an article in a feed and delete the article. When the feed updates, the article returns - how do I keep it deleted?

We've been using CentOS on our servers for many years, and remain happy customers. Been considering also using CentOS for desktops, since there's some advantages in standardisation. Also wondering whether CentOS really does belong on desktop. Perhaps its instructive that there's no "Desktop" section in these CentOS forums. Maybe a message buried there.
I'm finding that CentOS 5.6 desktop can do most things we need, except support Ipod connection for podcasts.
FLOSS weekly and SecurityNow are part of regular entertainment. gpodder is good in other 'nixes, but seems difficult to install in CentOS. Should I pursue this, or keep using another distro for daily desktops?

All I can record in my computer using The Sound Recorder in Jaunty is 1. It's either MIC or an MP3. You have to turn off one to keep the other and vice versa. How do you record both?
PS I did some homework and they said I need to install a mixer. But I've tried alsamixer, gnome-alsamixer, kmix, jack, they don't the mixers that I need.
PPS I'm recording from Sound Recorder and gtk-recordmydesktop.

I noticed lately the main chat client inserted in the new versions of Ubuntu is Empathy, rather nice, and I saw some very nice integrations in gnome-shell. Only one problem with it, no Off-The-Record (OTR) support, and no interest in implementing it. I am not sure how many of you out there are using it (OTR), but I basically love it, and I feel more safe when I use it. I like Empathy very much, but I do not understand the lack of interested of the developers for implementing such a great feature.
I have made this article, because I just want to do my part, as others did in filing bug reports, and making complaints to introduce this great feature to Empathy. If you want this feature in Empathy there are some places where you can make your voice heard: [URL]...
I know it says there they started to work on it in 2009, but after that no sign of development, basically for me it was just something to calm people down, and make them stop asking for this feature.I did not like the forced removal of pidgin, and the "you can use it, but we are not support it" excuse, but I learned to live with it, and adapt. I admit I am unable to code an otr plugin for Empathy or I would,
