PODCAST SUPPORT¶
A podcast is a media file distributed over the internet using syndication feeds such as RSS, for later playback on portable players or computers. Newsbeuter contains support for downloading and saving podcasts. This support differs a bit from other podcast aggregators or "podcatchers" in how it is done.CONFIGURATION COMMANDS¶
download-path (parameters: <path>; default value: ~/)Specifies the directory where podbeuter shall
download the files to. Optionally, the placeholders "%n" (for the
podcast feed’s name) and "%h" (for the podcast feed’s
hostname) can be used to place downloads in a directory structure. (example:
download-path "~/Downloads/%h/%n")
max-downloads (parameters: <number>; default value: 1)
Specifies the maximum number of parallel
downloads when automatic download is enabled. (example: max-downloads 3)
player (parameters: <player command>; default value:
"")
Specifies the player that shall be used for
playback of downloaded files. (example: player "mp3blaster")
