Time Nick Message 02:07 melodie gn 13:21 pdurbin I'm finally reading The Arch Way ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way ) after reading this strong endorsement of Arch: https://plus.google.com/115250422803614415116/posts/WDAZTPWxmNC 13:21 pdurbin ironcamel: you were right all along :) 17:19 melodie hi 17:25 pdurbin melodie: we're here :) 17:37 melodie hi pdurbin ! 17:46 pdurbin I'm playing a bit with https://github.com/inoks/dropcast ... it's the easiest way I've found to get mp3s into a podcast feed and on to my phone 17:47 pdurbin because the problem is... podcasts will only have the last 10 or 20 shows in their feed 17:47 pdurbin but what if you want to listen to an older episode? 17:47 pdurbin you have to go to their website, and hunt for the mp3 17:47 pdurbin you find it, but then what? 17:48 pdurbin now I wget the mp3 to my server, run the dropcast script (which updates the feed), and then pull down the mp3s with my podcatcher (currently beyondpod on android) 17:51 pdurbin so I guess RSS is not dead :) 17:58 melodie pdurbin that sounds like a turn around 17:59 pdurbin :) 18:09 melodie I think in some podcasts you can add the titles for the files you want to have 18:09 melodie it looks like something such as a vote or so... 18:13 pdurbin dropcast is quite minimal. it's just for getting the mp3s onto your phone. after I listen I delete the mp3 so I don't care much what the title is 18:16 melodie the phone feature used is storage then, no streaming 18:16 pdurbin beyondpod can do streaming too 18:16 pdurbin I just prefer to download the file 18:27 melodie I see 18:28 melodie maybe could you write a short list and present them briefly in the tips and tricks section of the linuxvillage forum ? 18:29 melodie that would be very nice to keep info on each there, until we finally get a wiki we are waiting for :) 18:39 pdurbin meh. you could just send a link to these logs :) 18:40 pdurbin I actually looked at three solutions at once 18:40 pdurbin this one in python "just worked" 18:40 pdurbin the one in perl didn't quite work but I emailed the author and he was very responsive 18:41 pdurbin for the one in ruby, the author opened an issue for me 18:41 melodie very good ! 18:41 pdurbin here's the ruby issue: https://github.com/nerab/dropcaster/issues/4 18:42 melodie you could link to these logs... you are the log's expert, if I can say so 18:42 pdurbin this is the perl one I found: http://search.cpan.org/dist/MP3-Podcast/ 18:43 pdurbin which I found from http://m0dlx.com/blog/Creating_RSS_podcast_feeds_from_iPlayer_radio_programmes.html 18:44 pdurbin melodie: do you think people on your forum care about this stuff? :) 18:48 melodie why wouldn't they ? 18:49 melodie they are interested in all topics and new information is always good to get 18:49 melodie information from different sources, people, circles... 18:50 melodie some are young French and Belgium guys who understand English well and come once a while to read if there is something new there 18:50 pdurbin which category? 18:51 pdurbin the bistro? 18:52 pdurbin this is why I don't like forums ;) 18:53 melodie tips and tricks 18:53 melodie or wait 18:53 melodie I check 18:54 melodie either tips and tricks or if you make the post a bit technical there is this one which would be fine too : Technical discussions - http://beta.linuxvillage.net/index.php/board,8.0.html 18:57 pdurbin here you go: dropcast - for getting mp3s onto your phone - http://beta.linuxvillage.net/index.php/topic,280.0.html 19:05 melodie great !
