Description Alan McGovern 2008-06-11 15:21:32 UTC
Podcasting should be able to download podcasts where the payload is in the form of a .torrent file.
Comment 1 Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek 2008-06-11 18:33:05 UTC
may be interesting.
Comment 2 spartan2600 2008-06-17 08:34:42 UTC
this would be excellent. I haven't seen too many podcasts have this as one of their feeds though, usually if it is a video podcast, they just do direct-download, say all the podcasts on revision3.org, for instance.
Comment 3 Michael Stephenson 2008-07-28 14:09:46 UTC
Is this enchancement likely to make it into the next release? as it appears the work has already been done http://monotorrent.blogspot.com/2008/06/monotorrent-expanding-your-universe.html
Comment 4 Gabriel Burt 2009-06-04 19:21:26 UTC
It is close to ready, but there are a couple issues:

1) Alan, is everything ready from the monotorrent end for us to ship/package an extension based on it?
2) I tested this a month ago or so, and it downloaded the .torrent just fine, but when it finished it didn't show up as downloaded in Banshee, and the temp file monotorrent downloaded the video to didn't get moved to the Podcasts library location.  I haven't had a chance to investigate beyond that.
Comment 5 Gabriel Burt 2009-06-04 19:22:35 UTC
To test, you need to ./autogen.sh --enable-torrent - and you also need to have monotorrent-dbus[-server] installed.  Please do test!

Bulk changing the assignee to banshee-maint@gnome.bugs to make it easier for people to get updated on all banshee bugs by following that address.  It's usually quite apparent who is working on a given bug by the comments and/or patches attached.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2020-03-17 08:17:47 UTC
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
