Hi Thomas,
adventurous as I am, I have tried the newest gpodder.
This is the result:
make test
bin/gpodder --local --verbose
(DownloadHistory) Creating new history list.
(PlaybackHistory) Creating new history list.
(tagupdate) eyed3 not found -- tag update disabled
(ipodsync) Could not find python-gpod. iPod functions
will be disabled.
(ipodsync) Please install the "python-gpod" package if
you want iPod support.
(ipodsync) Could not find pymad.
(ipodsync) Coulld not find eyeD3.
(ipodsync) PyID3 not found - falling back to channel
cover for iPod cover art
(ipodsync) mplayer not found - length of video files
will be guessed
Player found: EasyTAG
(/usr/share/applications/easytag.desktop)
Player found: RealPlayer 10
(/usr/share/applications/realplay.desktop)
Player found: Movie Player
(/usr/share/applications/totem.desktop)
Player found: VLC media player
(/usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop)
(podcastChannel) Generating TreeModel for
http://www.vpro.nl/podcastradiobergeijk
make: *** [test] Segmentation fault
[1]+ Exit 2 make test
So, it basically doesn't work. Tell me if you need
more info.
