+ 17 - 4 | § ¶jPodder & Openpodcast Directory

Hey podlovers, the Release Candidate 1 (RC) of jPodder 1.1 has some problems I am working on.
Here is a list.

- The stop all/resume all in download tab doesn't work properly. (New downloads are added when in pauzed mode).

- The new jPodder-live directory has a bug in one of the stylesheets which renders the result. I fixed it and it will work in the final version of 1.1. BTW I was pleasantly surprised that the iPodderX guys (Now http://transistr.com) have been so kind to maintain the directory. As a compensation I added podcastalley and podcastpickle, but both are now so arrogant that only iTunes subscription links are provided ( I can't even find the feed URL anymore in "the alley") . This really pisses me off, all these people now making Steve J. even richer, while stabbing the initial community which made podacsting possible in the first place. What's up with this applephiles anyway, it's no different than any other big SW corp if you ask me. Apple when adopting podcasting broke the rule from day one by releasing an iTunes specific RSS extension. (They could have released it in an open community, bastards). The result is that podcasters are now sticking up their fist up Steve's asshole as they are worried about eyeballs and eardrums. It's easy, if your podcast is good, you don't need iTunes. Hypocrit as I am, jPodder can fully parse the iTunes tags and that's for example the pictures you see in the feed info window   I could rant on for another hour.. but I guess you are fed as I am by now. Something positive than, The OPDA will finally take of , this an idea conceived to release a web based framework which can deployed by anyome who wants to offer a podcast directory. It will take some time, but I am positive it will now start to move.

- Still some minor problem with file names. (Some podcasts file show up as numbers), I don't what this is now, and need to look into it.

- Some times I get a "method not allowed" error in the download. It seems to be a reject from the server, but as I never had this before it could a problem with jPodder.
