An Android application that can download podcasts from a RSS feed.
Find the URL of a podcast's RSS feed. Now, add it in the "Downloader" textbox. The application will fetch all the available podcasts, and you'll be able to select the items to download. The application will download them and, if they are a MP3 file, add metadata. You can find screenshots for this process below.
After you click the "Start download" button, the podcasts items will be fetched. You'll be able to choose which elements to download:
After you've selected all the files you want to download, click on the "Download selected items" button (or the download icon at the top).
You'll go back to the Downloader UI. Now, at the bottom you'll find the episodes that are being downloaded. They'll disappear when the download ends.
Starting from version 1.1.0, PodcastDownloader keeps track of the RSS feed downloaded, and it can download the new episodes. To do this, click on the "Download the new episodes" button.
A dialog will appear. Here you can choose if the application should stop the download of that RSS feed at the first file that has been already downloaded, and how PodcastDownloader should look for duplicates. You have two options:
- Look if a file with the same name exists
- Look if the URL has already been downloaded
In the settings, you can customize:
- The number of concurrent downloads (how many downloads can happen at the same time)
- If you want to save the XML file in the PodcastDownloader directory
- If you want to add metadata to MP3 files
- If the description should be parsed from HTML
- If the application should keep the XML indentation for text blocks
- If the application should keep the new lines in the XML indentation (also if the XML indentation isn't kept)
Additional settings are available for track number customization. Here you can choose if the suggested track number from the XML should be used, and what the app should do if the podcast track number is unknown.
If possible, podcast-downloader autiomatically downloads the album art, and it'll re-encode it to a JPEG. You can customize:
- The maximum width and the maximum height
- The JPEG quality
PodcastDownloader will automatically save every RSS feed in the "Sources" section. Here you can click on each feed to show its title, or click the "X" to delete it. These sources are the ones used to download the new podcasts.
In this section, you can also delete or export the URL history.
