Hi,

for what is this (found in /proto/SxM_webgui/) ?

http://wdmybook_ip/podcast/

I only see an "empty" page with the Title "My Podcast Space".

//Update
If u add an directory to /Download/ it show's now this directory on this page. If u add one more directory under this one, than it shows a second page if u click on the name of the 1st dir.

//one more Update

Ok, it have to do with this page:

http://IP/ctcs/dn_add_podcast.php and http://IP/ctcs/dn_podcast_subscription_list.php

//last update ;)
U can add at http://IP/ctcs/dn_add_podcast.php an RSS feed and can select the Podcast, but then it seems not to work, that it downloads the selected podcast files ;(

(I've only just got the MBWE and am still exploring)

Looks like the 'My Podcasts' pages are automatically generated RSS/iTunes feeds for stuff in the Downloads directories. I can subscribe using IE (haven't tried FF) but not using a PSP.

I tried the dn_add_podcast dialogue and it didn't accept a BBC podcast feed (Friday Comedy) but accepted the Royal Society MP3 feed (science geeks only) and I selected a few entries, but they didn't download. It created a host of hidden files ('.xxx.rss', '.xxx.db', '.xxx.catalog', '.xxx.count', etc) in the Downloads directory along with a copy of the feed called '- Podcast RSS Feed -'. Downloader shows a task for '- Podcast RSS Feed -' but there are no other entries added, so I assume it should be using it to grab the individual podcasts.

So it looks like the 'My Podcasts' feature is 'work in progress' (possibly confirmed by speeling mistakes in some dialogues)

In the end I installed 'castget' (through ipkg) and it runs as a cron job at 2am…

Is there a web interface for CastGet? If not, do you know any other light Podcast Software (Clients) with one?

Thanks
