Im wondering if it is possible to add RSS 2.0 support? It would be nice to use podracer to download pod tv shows. Im willing to help, but cant find any source around.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm not exactly sure how this POD TV thing works. At this time, although the man page and README file both specifically refer to mp3 files, Podracer will actually download podcast enclosures of all types, including video podcasts. If Pod TV shows are different, I will need some help implementing this feature, specifically some info on how Podracer should download these shows and what, if anything, is different in the RSS feeds for them.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Lorenzo

I have no clue either about pod tv, but I thought it shouldnt be that hard to add support for it. One example rss can be found at http://svt.se/podd-tv/dokumentinifran
From my view, I can see that the url to the media is in the enclosure tag so it shouldnt be hard to extract it. But then it would solve the problem with those pod tv casts, perhaps other casts look differnt.

As far as I can tell, there is no difference between the sample RSS feed for Pod TV and the RSS feeds for mp3 podcasts. The only difference is that the media in the enclosure is mp4 video. Podracer will have absolutely no trouble downloading hese casts. It downloads any URL in the enclosure tag. The only place where Podracer makes a distinction is when creating an m3u playlist. In that case, it only puts audio files in the playlist. But all enclosures are stored in the specified podcast directory.
Just add your Pod TV casts to Podracer the way you add any other podcast and you should have no problems. Maybe in the next version I can point out that Podracer does in fact download Pod TV casts.
HTH,
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo
It works right now, Ive must done something bad with podracer as it didnt work before. So now it downloads the video files as wished.
Thanks for your support and program!
