Podcast filter in Cozy-Music

[genma]

Konnectors is updated and now it allows to import podcast files (via Rss feed) in Files and play theses files in Cozy-Music. Theses files are actually recognize as ordinary music files.

An enhancement will be to be able to retrieve this specific file via a "Podcast" category.

Another enhancement will be to replay from where the podcast was stopped (actually, each files restart from the begining).

Contact me if you want more details.

Theses files are actually recognize as ordinary music files. An improvement will be to be able to retrieve this specific file via a "Podcast" category.

Actually, I was thinking about the connector creating a playlist for a podcast and adding all episodes in it as a future improvement. Would this correspond to your use case?

Another improvment will be to replay from where the podcast was stopped (actually, each files restart from the begining).

Good idea, I like the way VLC does it too. @flyingrub (or anyone else), wouldn't it be interesting to add a metadata to each track document with the time to start the track from, updated each time the user hits the "pause" button and/or close the tab?

I think so. Maybe sub playlist in playlist as Podcast >MyPodcast01 will be the best.

In the current state of the app, sub playlists are not possible. Maybe one day...

We could store the currentTime of the currentTrack. But i don't think that keeping the state of each tracks is necessary.

Not each track. Most of tracks are music and when I want to hear them, it's from the begining.
In case of podcast, I can stop during a listening session and I'd like to restart from the last stop point in the track. I can hear different podcast at different moment.

So keeping the state for tracks flag / known as podcast is a necessary improvement.

And what about keeping the time information, and adding the option to replay from where the podcast (or any audio file) was stopped ? - I mean, not by default but by clicking on a button, like VLC does.
It might be useful if you accidentally closed the tabs, or if you listen to an audio file that is not flagged as a podcast (or included in the podcast playlist).

It's to the connector side to add them in a podcast playlist.
