I you want to try debugging this you could do something like this:
- Write the following to a file (I named it findcmd):
#!/bin/bash
echo -e "$@\n" >> ~/Desktop/command.txt
- Save the file somewhere (eg. on the desktop) and make it executable:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/findcmd
- In the gpodder preferences select "Shell Command" as a player and use the
following command (replace "xmms -e" with whatever you had there with vlc):
~/Desktop/findcmd xmms -e %F
Then choose a file and click play. A file called command.txt will appear on
your desktop with the command that gpodder would have attempted to execute.
Good luck,
nick
