I'm trying to listen to podcasts that I download (via bashpodder) to my central media server. The N800 sees the files via UPNP but I get no descriptions or dates or anything. I'm thinking of publishing a local RSS feed on that server but would like a way to stream them. I would also like a way to queue them up? Is this even possible with the N800?
I don't know if it supports UPNP. I use the RSS feed reader for podcasts as well. If you want to stream the podcast, just click on the name of the podcast or the little sound icon at the bottom of the post next to the filesize. If you want to download it, hold down the stylus on the sound icon and select Save File To or something similar.

How can I select the PODcast and select 'enqueue' so I can queue several items rather than play them one at a time?

Download them all and then create a playlist with them one after the other.

That would be possible, but its not what I'm trying to accomplish. I dont want to download anything locally. I want to stream the MP3s from my media server. I basically want a playlists of items to stream.

When it next happens, please post your RSS cache directory as an attachment to bug #2535.

The RSS feed reader is better in OS 2008 - mainly the page scrolling is much improved - but it's a bad sign that it keeps crashing whenever it has to process a malformed RSS feed, this suggests poor coding and error handling. I had read in another bug that the RSS feed reader app was due a complete rewrite, I'm guessing that is still to happen.

Hi,

You said that in OS2008 the built-in RSS reader was better...
I upgraded yesterday my Nokia N800 to OS2008 and, I can't see so much improved settings on the built-in RSS reader.
Is there any good third-party RSS reader to OS2008, excluding Claws plugin?

Thanks.

RSS reader displaying wrong characters ? .

I am using the RSS reader since July (OS2007). Use now 23 feeds with at this moment 153 posts. No problems. Pod- and Vodcasts included. OS 2008 scrolls nicely the newest posts.

I Like the tool and do not need anything else.

However some characters, mostly French texts are not displayed well. See the attached screenshot.

Am I the only one ?

Is this an RSS or an OS 2008 problem? My language and country settings are Netherlands. Can I do something about it or should I report to Bugzilla.

Abel.

It's bug #2454 and is specific to OS 2008 - please add your screenshot as an attachment to the bug with details of the feed if possible.

Basically, the RSS applet fails to parse HTML entities that are present in feeds - AT&T for example will show up as AT&T. Non-English languages as you've discovered will show even more problems.

I didn't understand one thing about the built in rss reader: what elements it delete? (read elements? not read? old? )
Thanks
