- 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!
I have been using podparadise.com to get my RSS feeds and that has been working well. Just find your podcast and on the side it should show "View RSS feed" and just copy the URL from there.
