I'm finally migrating from gpodder 2 to 3 (on my desktop, so no cuatro

Yes, although you can use cuatro/gpodder-core if you just want the
command-line UI. Or you can use gpodder-ui-qml in combination with
gpodder-core to get a (incomplete, broken) UI. This is still a work in
progress, gPodder 3 is much nicer for Desktop use (I personally also use
gPodder 3 on the Desktop), and is quite stable. I plan to do another
gPodder 3 release with all the good stuff that has accumulated in Git
sometime soon.
and when starting up gpodder3 after running
the migration, I ran into the following uncaught exception (which
aborted gpodder):
[...]
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
The attached patch fixed it for me, but I'm not sure if it isn't
covering up a deeper problem. (If anyone is interested in trying to
understand the cause, I have the original version-2 database which is
causing the problem.) Once gpodder 3 started up once with the patch,
the patch is no longer even needed (i.e., the database has been
cleaned up).
Thanks, merged your patch here:
http://gpodder.org/commit/fa2104de
This situation can happen when the state of the file is
gpodder.STATE_DOWNLOADED (i.e. marked as downloaded in the database),
but no episode filename exists. Your fix is fine, I just reworded it a
bit now after pushing it to the repository to not add "None" to the
known files set:

Thanks,
Thomas
