podfetch 0.4.3

Alexander Keil — Sat, 28 Mar 2015 23:00:00 GMT

Changes in podfetch 0.4.3:

The ls and update commands accept shell wildcards for subscription names:

$ podfetch ls f?o ba*

Lists subscriptions foo, bar and baz but not something-else.

If the subscriptions directory contains files that are not podfetch subscriptions, a new config option ignore can be used to tell podfetch to ignore these:

[podfetch]
ignore = .* *.bak

The option expects a whitespace separated list of patterns that should be ignored.

See the podfetch main page.

podfetch 0.4.0

Alexander Keil — Sun, 23 Nov 2014 23:00:00 GMT

Changes in podfetch 0.4.0:

The ls was now outputs episodes in reverse chronological order. The most recently published episodes are listed first. Episodes are sorted by date, even if episodes from multiple subscriptions are shown.

When no subscription name is specified, ls will now list episodes from all subscriptions. In previous versions, ls would output the list of subscriptions in this case. This is now done with show.

Additional parameters were added:

--newest / -n: To control the number of episodes shown
--all / -a: To not limit the number of episodes shown

Examples

List the 10 (default) most recent episodes:

$ podfetch ls

List up to 20 episodes:

$ podfetch ls -n 20

List the 10 (default) most recent episodes from subscriptions "foo" and "bar":

$ podfetch ls foo bar

Show all episodes from subscription "foo":

$ podfetch ls -a foo

A new subcommand show displays subscription details.

To view details for a specific subscription (multiple names can be specified):

$ podfetch show foo

If the subscription name is not specified, shows details for all:

$ podfetch show

New command del to remove subscriptions and optionally downloaded episodes.

To remove subscriptions "foo" and "bar":

$ podfetch del foo bar

To remove subscription "foo" including downloaded episodes:

$ podfetch del foo --episodes

See the podfetch main page.

podfetch 0.3.2

Alexander Keil — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 23:00:00 GMT

Changes in podfetch 0.3.2:

Index files are now kept under ~/.local/share/podfetch/ instead of ~/.cache/podfetch/.

Subscriptions may define an individual content_dir where episodes are stored.

[subscription]
url = http://example.com/podcast
title = Some Name
content_dir = /path/to/episodes

$ podfetch add http://example.com/podcast -d /path/to/episodes

The add command supports a (filename-) template parameter. It has the same effect as the filename_template setting in the configuration files.

$ podfetch add http://example.com/podcast --template '{title}-{id}.{ext}'

The purge command is improved:

select episodes by date published (was: filename)
simulation mode
correctly handle episodes with multiple files

See the podfetch main page.

podfetch 0.3.1

Alexander Keil — Sat, 23 Nov 2013 23:00:00 GMT

Changes in podfetch 0.3.1:

Index files are now in JSON format.
Filenames for downloaded episodes are coerced to ascii.
ls command can list episodes for a subscription
update command has an option to --force downloading new episodes.
Fixed error where temporary files for downloads were not deleted properly which caused the /tmp directory to run out of space if many episodes were downloaded in a single update run.

See the podfetch main page.
