Hpodder, the Linux podcast client. I have used this app before just thought I would give it a little more face time. This is a fairly simple application basically used for downloading podcasts.
I installed this application on my Ubuntu 7.04 laptop using apt-get. You can also install this application via synaptic package manager by doing a search on hpodder.
The command for installing via apt-get is:
apt-get install hpodder
That is it! (the beauty of repos!!)
To run it at the terminal (yes my friend it is CLI) type in:
hpodder
This runs the first time run which allows you set up the download the directory. What is great about hpodder is it is so simple. Unlike other CLI downloaders there is not alot of overhead.
Putting in your podcast subscriptions is pretty simple:
hpodder add URLTORSS
Removing is easy as well since it uses a database to manage the podcasts to download and how many to download you simply call the ID.
hpodder rm --castid
To begin the download process once your have loaded your podcasts:
hpodder fetch
!!!Watch out because this will download all episodes in the RSS feed.
hpodder update
hpodder catchup
hpodder download
will give you the next episode. Anyway play around with hpodder and read the man page for more options and good time fun.
Don't forget to plug it into cron so you can have your podcasts during the day ready to go.
