I too love my Pinephone and the revolution it harbingers, but podcasts really aren't working for me and I am getting quite frustrated.
- Kasts worked great for a while but now, presumably after some update, just freezes on the starting image.
- With Clementine and gPodder something always goes wrong with the GUI on the screen, so I cannot properly download and change the settings.
- Rhythmbox, which I love and works great on the desktop, on the Pinephone gives an error message whenever I try to add a new podcast.
- Podcasts and Vocal are widely praised, maybe because they are simple, but they lack an online search function, and I am having real trouble finding the correct RSS urls to add (whatever address I tried is always wrong. And the copy/paste function seems not to transfer from site to app, so I have to write and enter by hand. Anybody else having this issue?)
This is probably down to my inexperience with Linux and the fact that, for example, I still haven't found a proper way to just transfer files from the desktop (Ubuntu 18.04) to the phone (bluetooth fails with any but the smallest file, SSH/smb won't connect and the phone is not seen as external device. Any suggestions there too?).
Is it just my incompetence? Any suggestions to fix any of the above?
Thanks a million!
