Play podcasts ?

[Pir]

Hi,

I've been using Rune audio for a few weeks now and I'm very happy with it.
However I tried to play podcasts recently and realized there didn't seem to be any obvious way to do it.

Have I overlooked something ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Pir,

playing single podcasts is possible with RuneAudio.

You have to enter the streaming URL for that single podcast as webradio.

Playing podcasts from a RSS feed is not possible at the moment.
I did some tests with "" and it works great.
We have to see if it is possible to implement this feature in the future.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm indeed looking for a solution for RSS feeds (my friend will be playing podcasts and doesn't want to have to extract urls manually every time).

What is you "workflow" with this bash script ? Can it be installed and run on the same machine running Rune Audio (a RPi in my case) ?

Thanks in advance,

Pir.

Hi,

I figured out how to ssh into my RPi, and downloaded the bash script from github.
It generates pls and m3u files all right, but I have no clue how to get Rune Audio to play them.
Adding them to /mnt/MPD/Webradio fails because Rune can apparently only read a single item in each list, and the playlists I get from the rss feeds have more than one.

I also saw that there was a /mnt/MPD/Podcast folder, but I don't know how to access it from RuneUI.

Finally I thought about storing the playlists on an attached USB drive, but USB drives are named in the /mnt/MPD/USB folder. Is there a way to access the only USB drive currently mounted (I'll only use one at a time) in Arch Linux ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for your help, that works.
Now I'm trying to update the feeds automatically on reboot with crontab, but that's another story...
