[updated 2006]
this version of bashpodder is only kept around for historical reasons.
If you are looking for a command-line podcatcher that supports bittorrent then try Peapod. This is superior in every way to bashpodder and is being actively maintained.
I’ve put a version of bashpodder.shell up on the site. This one will
fetch podcasts from bittorent as well as http and ftp, and then write
the podcast.m3u once it’s done.
I’ve spent something like nine hours this weekend trying to get my
MythTV box into a working state. I shall take a short look back over
the obstacles I’ve already overcome and the reasons why I’ve decided
that my sanity is worth more than �30.
So my hacky little python script to download bittorrent feeds in a more
scripting friendly manner is working perfectly now. A number of people
have mentioned that they think this would be a generally helpful thing
to have so I'm putting up a link to it here for anyone who wants to
play with it.
You'll need version 3.4 of bittorrent to use this script.
Bashpodder, in case you are not already familiar with it, is a command line tool for downloading podcasts.
I like it because it's unintrusive and can be run from a cron job.
Which means when I get home in the evening I can just check today's
download directory and see what cool stuff I have to listen to.
