Play/download podcasts and videocasts (podcasting streams) in XBMC?

ok ive asked int he features section here and was redirected to you guys. so im asking it simply can any1 make a podcast script, so that you can view the podcast directories and schedule downloads

cheers for your suport m8, ive posted in the python forum, hopefully some1 will scrape something together

i wanted to reuquest of it is posible to intergrate podcasting. it is already build in itunes but itsn't yet in xbmc. you can use a python script but it would be great if it is suport natively.

hallo @all,

know someone python scripts, which concerns itself with this topic? e.g. podster.de and podcast.de.

sorry for my bad english :nuts:

does xbmc support podcasting (swedish - podradio)? it's some kind of radio channel subscription. i have provided one link below:
sri radio sweden

it's new for me, but i would like to use it. the following freeware can handle podcasting today for windows:
ipodder
doppler
blogmatrix jäger
itunes

do you have testet xpodder?
http://www.xbmcscripts.com/index.p....xpodder

thanks cyberking2k. yes, i have no tested xpodder, but i'm not that happy with it.

i have changed the script according to the readme file to look like below. i can get "sri_en_swetoday.xml" to work, but i have problems getting the rest to work. they hangs up with "please wait..." "loading available feeds..." yes, that might be the result when down loading large files, but some of these mp3 files are small 10-20 mb and i have been running ipodder in parallel, and ipodder finish it's work while xpodder does not.
if/when i push abort, the popup window shows aborting, but does newer close/die.

a second problem is that the lines i have comment out still generates a subscription list and my new subscription ends up in the last scroll page. this might be due to the fact that i ones did run xpodder with thouse lines uncomment. any idea of where to clean up this list on the hard drive?

does anyone know if it would be possible to add a download and save function, much like quicktime browser into xpodder. i've been trying to stream some videocast, but the connection to server is to slow so it would be great to have the download and save functions.

or are there any other scripts that can download off a website url:

cheers to the script writer, use it all the time.

i'd really like to see podcast support added to xbmc.

not sure if there is already an xbox app out there that supports this.

anyone know of an app that already does this?

xbmc should be able to listen to a podcast. if you know the url of the stream, just copy it into a .strm file. if you're looking for some more advanced functionality, ie parsing an rss feed with streams in it, you'll need to write a python script. (actually, one may already exist. post an inquiry in the python forums.)
