RE: perfeed character prob when rsync with vf [ reply ]

Hi,
The latest version (3.0.0, not 2.1.0 as previously announced) resolves this issue by introducing the --restrictednames option.

Hi,

I had the same problem with a colon in the name of the feed. I inserted a small fix into the code:


Before (occurs only once in the code):

newdir = dir+content.feed_title


After:

newdir = dir+content.feed_title.tr(':','.')


Of course, more characters should be filtered, but this one - replace colon with a dot) was sufficient for me.

Regards,
VGER

The --restrictednames option implemented in version 2.1.0 (due in a couple of weeks) resolves this issue.

I have given this issue high priority, as it probably concerns many users of this program (basically anyone who downloads content on a Windows system and/or listens to podcasts on an MP3 player device).

I will try to resolve this issue in the next release or the one after that.

Here you go: http://www.spin180.net/index.xml

The offending character in this case is a colon.

Hi, I would appreciate if you could also give the URL of a feed that causes this problem, so that I have a podcast to test against.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

perfeed character prob when rsync with vfat [ reply ]

The perfeed option sometimes creates directories with strange characters (by strange, I mean not allowed by vfat) because of the podcast title. This causes problems when using rsync to copy podcasts onto an audio device.

I would like the perfeed option to filter out from the title anything except alphanumeric when creating the directory.
