• specify a non-standard directory to save data by passing –homedir=/path/to/datadir

Bug Fixes

• some ipods were giving trouble when syncing. this should be fixed now.

If you are reading this then you have discovered that Peapod is no longer at www.peapodpy.org. That domain has expired and was reistered by someone who we can’t get in contact with anymore. Apologies to everyone for the inconvenience. We’ll endevour to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

A couple of helpful things for peapod developers that we’ve added in the last month or so.

• An RSS feed of peapod SVN commits.
• Auto-generated module documentation.

There have been lots of developments in peapod-land over the last month or so. We have several new developers on board and it seems likely that peapod development will speed up in the next few months. So without further ado here is peapod-0.5

New Features

• Downloads are cached. This allows downloads to recommence on the next run following problems. This is especially useful on busy feeds that experience frequent HTTP time-outs.
• Now supports copying podcasts to iPods supported by libgpod. –synciPod from commandline. Location of mounted iPod can be set by –ipodpath=/path/to/ipod or by setting <ipodpath> in .peapod/peapod.xml

Bug Fixes

• HTTP headers are not recorded when the podcast fails to download. This allows us to try again on the next run
• Better docstring coverage in the source code
• Better unicode handling in tagging code

As the number of users of peapod has grown it has become apparant to us that the channels of communication are not all that they could be. So we have started a project on sourceforge so that we can use some of the nifty tools they provide.

Bugs/Feature Requests

visit the peapod tracker.

The site here at peapodpy.org will remain the primary interface for peapod. Subversion and file releases will still be hosted here. However we will also release files to sourceforge and maintain a synced backup of subversion. This should make peapod available if either site goes down.

New Features

• –addnew will now pull the title out of the RSS feed if it’s not given on the command-line. So you can now do

  peapod.py --addnew=http://some/feed.xml

  rather than

  peapod.py --addnew=http://some/feed.xml,titlestring

  but if a title is given on the command-line it will be preffered to the one from the RSS feed.

• –addnew will now import from OPML files. It can import the file from a local path or a URL so both

  peapod.py --addnew=http://some/opml.xml 

  and

  peapod.py --addnew=/tmp/opml.xml 

  will work

• –export will dump your feeds to OPML on standard out. To create on OPML file of your feeds do

  peapod.py --export > /path/to/your/opml.xml

Bug Fixes

• Yet more tweaks to the logic for handling broken pubDates
• bittorrent feeds that set application/x-bittorrent but dont have torrent files ending in .torrent are now understood
• –getall and –getallglobal now bypass conditional download
