Description Michael R Head 2008-09-07 21:51:45 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have subscribed rhythmbox to http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/tavis/.jukebox?action=viewPodcast&podcastId=480

What I've found is that rhythmbox is unable to properly download the casts from the feed. I double click the podcast entry, the progress bar on the right turns from nothing to "Waiting" then eventually to "Failure"

I've noticed that the server redirects the URL a couple times, and the filename+query is very long on the final feed. Rhythmbox should probably validate the filename before attempting to write it and fix it somehow if it won't work.

Here's what happens with wget when I download the file:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Subscribe to the feed: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/tavis/.jukebox?action=viewPodcast&podcastId=480
2. Browse to "PRI: The Tavis Smiley Show"
3. double click on a podcasted item and see that it fails.


Actual results:
the podcast download fails

Expected results:
the podcast item would be downloaded and ready to listen to.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, but just for this podcast (I have around 20 other feeds that all work)

Comment 1 Jonathan Matthew 2008-09-07 22:14:54 UTC 
rhythmbox svn trunk successfully downloads episodes from this podcast, but names the downloaded files 'QuerySplicedItemContent', which sucks.
Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2008-09-07 23:06:22 UTC 
Short term slightly hacky fix: if the final filename has no extension, maybe we should use the original filename from the URL extracted from the feed.

Proper fix: gvfs should understand the Content-Disposition header.

Content-Disposition: inline; filename="751757.mp3"

I've filed bug 551298 against gvfs for this, but I'm considering implementing the above hack until that gets fixed.
Comment 3 nemoinis 2009-09-08 21:48:37 UTC 
I can confirm this bug with Rhythmbox 0.12.0 (Ubuntu 9.04). Trying to download an episode from a redirected feed fails.
In my case it has nothing to do with the filename (which wget does not complain about): rhythmbox just does not handle the redirection. Here's the relevant part of the rhythmbox debug log, followed by a WGET of the same file:
