BashPodder and DigitalLife.tv videocast

Post by elgordo123 » Fri Jul 28, 2006 1:12 pm

For some reason bashpodder is not downloading digitallife.tv video podcast.
I am using the Divx link:
http://rssnewsapps.ziffdavis.com/audiob ... V.xvid.xml

It looks like it see's the first one in the list, but doesn't see any others, As of today, 7/28/2006 temp.log will see episode 66, but it doesn't appear to be parseing through and getting any others. (i.e. the latest, 80). Downloaded bashpodder.shell and the parse file today too, same results. My other podcasts work fine, tllts and twit.

I thought I'd post here instead of emailing linc incase someone has already seen this and found a fix for it.
Thanks in advance.

Feed looks OK as of this moment.

What do you mean by "see" the first on the list? The first should be the most recent episode, which is episode 81 as of today.

When are you looking at temp.log? Temp.log will be deleted before bashpoder finishes, and changes throughout the run.

You can copy bashpodder.shell to another name (cp bashpodder.shell hackpodder.shell && chmod +x hackpodder.shell), then delete the lines

Code: Select all

    if ! grep "$url" podcast.log > /dev/null
        then
        wget -t 10 -U BashPodder -c -q -O $datadir/...
    fi

Then delete every line of the script after

Code: Select all

done <bp.conf
Run this script, and it will generate a temp.log with the URLs of everything bashpodder is trying to download (without downloading anything).

You should have bashpodder.shell and parse_enclosure.xsl in the same directory. It'll work without the .xsl file, but not as well. You also must have xsltproc installed on your system.

Thanks. I think the problem was that I didn't have xsltproc installed. After I installed that it downloaded everything fine.
